Two Captains...

.... but there can be only one winner!

In Starc Contrast

Mitchell has to be the most improved bowler in the last 2 seasons.

Sideshow Mitch

With fast bowlers it is always about the red mist.

Channeling Dan

He might be the English star on the rise but by hell Stokes appeal has more than a bit of an echo of fellow Kiwi born Dan Vettori.

Your' First Is Always Special

John Nyumbu enjoys his first test. He might have gone for 150 but it is the 5 wickets he will always remember.

Celebrating The DRS

I wonder what WG Grace would make of the whole concept?

Nostalgia

Less hair, no beard, one ball past the outside edge, the second one an arm ball past the inside edge, the 10 finger appeal - it all brings back such happy memories.

Sehwag Says No

Don't Ask + Don't Get

Trent Boult channels a little Daniel Vettori. With more success than Dan has had lately.

Purple Mist

Moren Morkel gives it the old primal scream treatment. Who says wickets don't mean anything in the IPL?

This image mucked about with using Moku Hanga App and Photoshop CS5.

Lively Lasith

Waiting, In An..tici..pation

The review system is going to bring about some unexpected changes. Players are going to have to rethink the post wicket celebration - no point getting too excited until all the required agencies have been consulted.

Any one got any ideas for the slightly delayed celebration?

Eye Of the Tiger

You can tell from the glint in his eye that Dale Steyn is in the zone.

Got My Mojo Working

Bhaji is home and happy. Amazing how a few home comforts can put the spring back in your appeal.

Baying At The Sun

Dominic Cork - one of the great exponents of primal scream appealing.

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!

Pop Appeal

Sreesanth, probably the way he sees himself.

You got to admit, he is nothing if not colourful. 

Stripped Down III

This one has retro appeal (sick!).

Who do you think it might be?

Caption Time Again

As Prince once sang "it's a sign of the times".

A Concerted Appeal

If you are going to ask you might as well be whole hearted about it.

Interestingly, this particular request was denied. Perhaps because the short mid on could not decide between appealing or picking his nose. A classic mixed signal.
