A Cricketer's Cricketer

It is we who should be raising a bat (and a glass) to the great one. He has to be the greatest all rounder of the fully professional era - and what a Pro he has been.

Old Reliable

It may be a little harder to get his arms around him now days but Smith knows he can rely on JK when it comes to the crucial moments.

Normal Service Resumes

Having helped to highlight Kallis's double duck in the last test it would be remiss of me if I didn't help celebrate his double hundred in the current test.

Just one of a number of "old fellas" proving they have still got it - I wonder if some of the Mature Indian Middle Order will catch the trend?

One Of The Best Of All Time?

Given his longevity, production and class can you argue a case for Kallis being one of the best all rounders to have played cricket?

Too Hot To Handle

I got a busy weekend ahead folks so I will leave it up to you to come up with a pithy, ironic, cute or obscene comment to go in the box. Something about heat and/or cramps would be appropriate, not that appropriate should be a guideline.

Let's Dance

While it was all a bit late and futile you do have to welcome a bit of Windies aggression from a fast bowler.

Probably wasted on the Evil Penguin as he has seen a lot more threatening in his time.

Size Matters

The Tunnel of ...?

The Mighty Penguin (not currently truely evil) seems very satisfied with his lot in life.

Any thought as to a caption for this image?

It's An Age Thing

A sure sign of age in a cricketer is the arm coming around rather than over. It might just be camera angle but it would seem that even evil penguins are not immune to the ravages of time.

No Draw This

Wee Jimmy Anderson is entitled to be happy on a day that set up a result and improved quite a few bowlers figures. The Evil Penguin does seem to have a problem keeping that three stick castle intact at the moment.

Good Triumphs Over Evil

The Lion of Huddersfield comprehensively defeats the Evil Penguin.

A fable?
An allegory?
A cautionary tale?
Or just a good ball and a piss poor shot!

Beware The Evil Penguin

Is it all set up, could today be the day?

The batman cometh.

Kallis Of The Antarctic

Can you say goober!

It is a testament to how much the modern cricketer gets paid to think that this guy can attract fantastic looking women.

Shining Light

The way Kallis is going at the moment it seems only a matter of time before he is immortalised in some cricket shrine or other.

Age Shall Not Weary Them

For as long as they are there the great ones always give it everything - and yes he did make the catch.

Player Profile

Eye on the ball, strength of character and rarely a callous word or deed.

Golden Boy

OK, he is getting on, and he is a bit different, but can you really afford to leave out one of the best all rounders in the world?

It's South African cricket's call but we offer this image as a reminder of what they just might miss.
