Golden Haired Wonder

Ellyse Perry puts her back (and head) into it.

When things are slow...

... there is always a trip down memory lane to liven things up.

Merv Hughes circa 1988 - light on his feet and heavy with his hands.

Talk Is Cheap But The Dance Is Free

Golden Girls

Moment Missed

Ryan Carters gets a shot, and misses. Sport is not gloriously uncertain, it is just plain cruel.

Great Grab

Darren Sammy uses ever inch of his reach to haul in a top edge. Win or lose the Windies  turned up for the second one dayer.

Watson Replies

He Who Spins Last...

... laughs hardest. Seems they get pretty cuddly as well.

When 50 Matters

Steady Eddy and The Punter put their backs to the wall and ground out a couple of very important 50's. Just what you would expect from a couple of Diggers on Anzac Day.

Caption Time

This shot will be all over the blogosphere today. Here is your chance to express your wit (or wisdom) before others do.

Help me fill the hole in Pup's speech bubble by leaving a comment suggestion.

Steady On Huss

It's only a wicket mate.

It is true that Bravo was a key wicket but it wasn't as if the Western Alliance was at stake, although God knows it is shaky.

Not 1961

No run out, no tie, but the image certainly has the feel of something from the glorious past.

Old School

With a name like George Bailey he should be a stalwart of the 1950's, and this shot would not have been out of place in that era.

A Little Bit Of Body Language

It is never hard to tell who is winning in a game of cricket. The posture tends to tell the story without having to look at the scoreboard.

Bang.Bang.Bang.

Kemar Roach takes them down. Not content with three wickets with three balls he added another three victims to pad his figures. Thank heaven he was only armed with deadly fingers and an attitude.

A Slice Of The Action

David "Piranha" Warner watches the ball on to the bat, and then presumably watched it fly majestically over the fence.

I was especially taken with the shadow of the ball on the bat - the laws of physics eh? - wonderful things.

Knobsville

While my internet might not of been functioning my Sky was, so I too witnessed Watson make a fool of himself with what Frank Zappa would have called a "petulent frenzy".

Funny how after Test 1 the Windies were so bad they shouldn't have been allowed to play a team as exulted as the Chosen Ones, while by Test 3 they were able to  expose a number of raw, and stupid, nerves.

Funny old game cricket.

In further developments Watson says he was teased by Gayle who said bad things about him - Border and Waugh must be cringing.

Travis Dowlin Sees Red

Any one who has ever played the game of cricket knows how Travis is feeling.

If the ball was only a bit bigger, redder, softer and movd a bit slower!

Usain Gayle

You got to be the real deal to strike the pose - today Chris Gayle was good enough.

Now he just needs to work on the elbow angle and getting 10 Aussie wickets.

Just Leave It, Mon

So many games in so many places at the moment, each with a different atmosphere and script.

The 'Gabba Test is the one that feels the most "authentic" to me but it looks like it could be over a little too soon. If only the Windies can find a way to score enough to make a game of it.

I get all nostalgic for a knock down/drag out Aussie/Windies test match on a bouncy wicket, under blue skies, with lots of flies and bouncers.

I can dream, can't I.
