Cricketing Character

I just couldn't resist one of my favourite character(tures).  Long may the Lion of Huddersfield stay smiling.

The Lion Of Huddersfield V.2011

OK, the waist is a touch fuller and the hair has a little less gravity defying attitude but Sidebottom has still got the spark in the eye and the cream on the lips. Go you Yorkshire Rose!

Can The Lion Roar?

An Ashes Series all in 40 overs? Well perhaps not, but there is no doubt it will competitive.

I shall be supporting the pride of Huddersfield as he never fails to deliver a worthwhile image.

Full Teapot

As demonstrated by one of my favourite cricketers, The Lion of Huddersfield.

The full teapot is a stance that must be mastered by any fast (medium) bowler if they are to have any sort of career at the higher levels. The Lion here demonstrates the benefit of years of county cricket in mastering the non verbal sulk.

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!

Competitve Hands

The hands of a real competitor. The Lion of Huddersfield doesn't get the big bag of wickets, but you can tell it is not for the want of trying.

The Lion Subdued

But not for long methinks.

How many more twists in this tests tail? The pride of Huddersfield may yet score the winning runs - but I hope not.

Will The Lion Roar?

I can't wait for the test series between The England and NZ to start, not because it is likely to produce stunning cricket but because the Lion of Huddersfield and his hair cut seem to produce so many interesting images.

Of Course as a loyal Kiwi I would like to see less of him celebrating wickets.
