The Angelo Pivot

Angelo Matthews gives it both poise and pivot with a modicum of balance.

A Little Bit Kinky

Now I am not one to judge, but ... well let's just wait and see shall we.

A Night To Remember

If Rangana Herath celebrates any harder he might put that arm outside the legal angle of deformation. Just kidding - 5 for 3 and a run out was a magnificent effort.

And This Little Pinky...

... hurts like bloody hell.

Still Golden

See Ya Dave

You know you have arrived when every one is so pleased to see you go.

Kulasekara Gets A New Name

Just Like That!

Mendis was certainly a mystery to the boys from Zimbabwe.

Home Town Hero

You think the locals are happy to have Malinga in town?

Pop Rocket

Nuwan Pradeep colours it up in the nets.

Boots And All

The boot goes on his foot but who knows what goes on in Lasith Malinga's mind?

Malinga made enigmatic with the help of PaintingFoto and Photoshop CS5.

Make A Note

Kaushal Lokuarachchi might not be easy to pronounce but there are a few commentators who are going to have to get their tongues around it in the next few years.

Lively Lasith

Such A Nice Boy

So respectful and kind to his mother. It is a pity he isn't so kind to opening batsman

The Beginning Of The End

The first of what will likely be many farewell images of the great tweaker.

Body Language

If ever there was an image to sum up the NZ v Sri Lanka series, this would be it. If the Black Caps got any more dominated they could post the pictures on one of those dodgy web sites beloved of men who wear leather.

Malinga The Slinger

Malinga winds up, in his own inimitable fashion - with the unplayable ball. He must be looking forward to the Black Caps who have never really got on his wavelength, which to be fair has a frequency all of it's own.

A Quiet Achiever

Chaminda Vaas is a class act. There is every chance that the dramas of an Ashes series will deflect the limelight from his farewell performances but there will be few in Sri Lanka who will underestimate just what a rock he has been for his team year. I hope he does something spectacular, but if not, he will still be remembered as a real pro.

Special Delivery

Nuwan Kulasekara takes pleasure in his work.

A Passion Play, Of Sorts

Good to see there is still joy to be had in winning a game in a dead series. Professional pride eh? A wonderful thing.
