Wearing The Jersey With Pride

KP gets to wear and celebrate a bit of English cricket history.

Ninety Bloody Nine!

Bad enough to be caught on the boundary, or you tickle one to the keeper; but run out one short must be one of the worst feelings in cricket.

Sleepy In Nagpur

An image specially selected to sum up the action on day one.

Be Careful What You Wish For

Mark Greatbatch asked for two draws and a series loss and that is just what he got.

You can look on the development bright side as much as you want, but just like catching MS Dhoni for 98, it is only a hollow victory if you don't win in the end.

One Up/One Off/One Down

A bit of the old beige spirit from Andy McKay.

Stopping Tendulkar from getting his 50th test hundred is not a bad way to take your first test wicket. No body doubts that is just a matter of time however.

McKay's other hand seems to suggest the inevitable - the Black Caps to lose the series 1 down.

Can You Say Mismatch

Australia v Pakistan
New Zealand v Bangladesh
West Indies v Australia

and now

South Africa v India

What a waste of bloody good sunshine!

A Great Day For The Beards

After a tough summer for big bearded batsman Hashim Amla's 253 not out has rescued some pride for the extremely hirsute.

The Bigger The Nose ...

... the better the coach.

Well done to those who recognised the famous Wessels nostrils. That toothy grin would have given it away far to easily.

You would have to say that he currently deserves to smile as his "boys" continue to bat India into submission.

Swan Song

Cheer up Dada, only the truly stupid would judge your career on your last at bat. At least people will remember you last walk to, and from, the crease - just think of The Don.
