Jimmy Jive

James Anderson is not one to get too sad over a bit of moisture in the air or the pitch. Nothing suits his classic action better.

Warner Strikes

Steady on David. We have all felt that way about wicketkeepers, but there are some things you just can't do in the modern era.

Party When You Can

The Bangla Boys get happy, and good on them. 

The memory of happy moments will be needed as they chase over 500 against the Windies.

Run Shiv Run

Head down and going for it, Shiv Chanderpaul pushes for the two he needs to complete another test ton.

He is one of my favourite cricketers - I just love the way he can do his own thing while still carrying his team on those thin yet wiry shoulders.

Going Both Ways

Dhoni and Raina might be running in different directions but you can tell by the look on their faces they both have the same objective.

A Colourful Crowd

Praveen Kumar works hard in front of an attentive and colouful crowd. It's all acton between the rains.

Welcome To Bridgetown

Suresh Raina gets a traditional greeting from Ravi Rampaul on Day 1 at Bridgetown

It is a great bit of photography from the Getty crew - those hands tell you everything there is to know about facing the bouncer.

82 and Grumpy

No, not the old geezers in the Members Stand but Suresh Raina, out for 82.

It's not three figures but the way things are developing it could end up the key innings of the test match.

Besides,  bit of scream therapy is always good for relieving stress and helping others to forget the shot you just played.

Comprehensively Beaten

Cleaned out.
Castled.
Gone all ends up.
Missed a straight one.
Bowled neck and crop.
(leave your bit of descriptive genius in the comment box)

However you choose to describe it, Kraigg Braithwaite is very, very out - and I have little sympathy for anyone who spells Craig with a K and two G's.

A Hard Day's Work


This pic seems to suggest the bowler (Sharma) and fielder (Vijay) had to work pretty hard for their success against Sri Lanka.

Sharma will be hoping he can put his feet up and not be required to bolster the tail in this innings.

Small But Mighty

Eion Morgan is in danger of becoming a cult hero.

  • A six to reach your maiden test century.
  • All the difficult shots.
  • Little man verses the world.
  • Success in all forms of the game.
  • Good back story.

All things that will endear him to The England faithful and bandwagon jumpers every where.

Eion would do well to look at what has happened to some of the other cult heroes that have gone before - that might be where he "finds the fear" that he doesn't currently have at the crease.

Congregation

Shane Shilingford ponders the concept of multiple personalities and whether it could help him when bowling 53 overs in one test innings!

3 for 193 are figures you really want to share with the brothers.
