O' To Be In England...

... now that winters here.

KP would appear to wish himself anywhere, but out.

Only at Lord's could the whole ground be covered in snow without a blemish on it - it's all about standards you know.

What Are You Looking At?

Which to be unfair to KP is a pretty reasonable question?

KP Kicks

Why?

Well being KP probably just because he can.

A Cat With No Tail

Let me be the first to start the rumour that KP is lining up a stint for the Isle of Man cricket team in the fading years of his career.

It might sound a bit far fetched but this striking pose may be a subliminal suggestion , he does have a record of jumping ship, and if Hamish Marshall can be Irish (with his haircut) then why not?

Bully Boy

You know KP is coming back into form when he is starting to scare the wicketkeeper.

Get Smart

Good to see KP is back to his unpredictable old self.

Nice of him to go easy on the Bangla Boys.

Cricket Is Pain

Just ask KP.

In fact, a search of the Cricinfo photo database under the word "pain" produces a wide variety of examples of just how painful cricket can be. I shall bring you more of these painful moments in due course.

Meanwhile KP, just give 'em a rub, it's not like you were planning on using them this afternoon.

A Penny For 'em

Go on.
You know you're good at it.
Leave us a comment with a caption for this little tableaux.

Narcissists (don't) Rule

The England/ECB have shot themselves in the foot so often it must be time to attack a different appendage. To their credit(?) it would appear they were no longer prepared to let the lunatics run the asylum, although how that is going to translate into team dynamics is anybodies guess. The Caribbean resorts should be hiding the rum and peddle boats as we speak.

Given the general confusion as to who said what to whom, I can now tell you that the real reason for the breakdown in the captain/coach relationship was the fact that the coach was better looking than the captain. This is something that selection panels need to consider for all future appointments.

More Tea Vicar?

And why not? Nothing else seems to be doing much good.

A Bit Of Tongue Action

Its all about hand, eye, tongue, elbow, bat co-ordination. No worries.

A Fairy Tale In The Making

There has been a lot of talk in the cricket blogosphere about the rags to riches fairy tale that is KP. Bloggers such as Sportfreak have been making all sorts of witty, and of course, rude comments. So, before the Disney copyright stormtroopers breakdown my door, here is a little offering to support the discussion. Two key questions seem to spring to my mind - Will KP measure up and does The England have enough magic dust to last until the end of next season?

A Captain's Cuddle

Every captain has his own style but there is something about this image that makes me uneasy , although not as uneasy as poor old Ravi.

The slap on the bum is all very well but are we ready for the mid field cuddle, or worse?

KP Eyes

KP saw our image of Sourav controlling his bat with shear force of will and decided he could do the same with the ball. It gives a whole new meaning to "keep your eye on the ball".

Kay Peeeee

Don't you just hate those sports paparazzi who hang around with their cameras just waiting for a shot that looks like something it isn't?

No.

Me either.

A caption contest would just be too easy.

Run Kev Run

If you are going to run a quick single it is best to take your bat along for the ride.

And if you are going to enter into a battle of egos it is a good idea to pick on an ego that is smaller and less competitive than yours.

Hmmmm

It was a great win and fantastic to see Freddy back and active but a little part of me feels that a line was crossed here.

It is good that professional sportsman can get such joy out of doing their jobs but this image does beg the question "What is Kevin going to do next?"
