The Uluru Kid

Revenge Of The Much Maligned

With the performances of Mitchell Johnson and Stuart Broad so far, this version of the Ashes could be called the Stick It Up Them series - the doubters that is.

Cutting Remarks I

Cocky Bugger

When the skipper can chuck you the ball and ask you to win a test for him, and you do, you can be as cocky as you like.

The Last Laugh

Game On?

In the flaky and fickle world of T20 who knows what the win in Hamilton means for the games coming up? Black Caps supporters have had more than their share of false sunsets in the past!

Captaincy Is More Than Just...

... the long stare and the full teapot.

An Appealing Days Cricket

OK, there were a lot of injuries and back stories, but any test match that is decided in the sunshine during the last session can't be too bad a cricket event.

I wish Broad would stop picking on poor old Billy - all that yelling can't be good for Bowden's arthritis. While on Broad I propose a new nick name - Broad The Bunny Killer!

Any Way You Want It

 

Standing tall or keeping a low profile, the clenched smile and big smile are absolute essentials to the post wicket celebration.

Eye On The Ball

 Time for the post(er) boy to  start delivering again?

To Be Remembered

The tragedy is that this Lord's test will now be remembered for no balls and spot prices.

The worst thing about corruption is that it taints everyone, including the innocent and outstanding.

Caption Needed

Use your imagination folks. What might this not really be about?

Pop Gun V Shot Gun

It would be a much more frightening prospect if anyone could take them seriously.

Baby Faced, Yes; Assassins, No

Jack Brooks illustrates the Broad Effect - no amount of fist clenching and bouncing up and down can make that haircut and headband look threatening.

The Metro Kid

While Stuart Broad is ready made fodder for grumpy bloggers the world over maybe we have missed the point? Could this guy be the next great all rounder? That hair cut defines a player who doesn't seem to worry about anything, he just plays, and pretty well.

Good Form

Does Ellyse Perry look like Stuart Broad or does Stuart Broad look like Ellyse Perry?

It may just be they have the same hair dresser.
