The Angelo Pivot

Angelo Matthews gives it both poise and pivot with a modicum of balance.

The Mohammed Shami Swirl

The Effort Ball

Ryan Harris puts everything in to it. Just look at his face and hands!

When Quick Isn't Enough

A Serious Beginning

Young Ben Stokes is pictured taking his first test match very seriously, and so he should. In fact it was a good tough first days cricket all round, lets hope it stays tough not bitter.

The Golden Haze Of Cricket

Is there a more romantic or whimsical sport?

In Like Finn

It is a simple equation.

Effort + Rhythm = Pace

Giving It A Tweak

Enjoying What You Do

Dirty Dirk Nannes loves to bowl fast. He would rather win than lose, but he loves to bowl fast.

An Old Favourite

Andre Nel is another of those favourite cricket characters that the T20 circuit has brought back on to the cricket viewing screen.

It would be a shame to have that face and attitude restricted to just a limited local audience.

Penny For Them?

Now what might go through the Little Master's mind just before delivery?

I am always on the hunt for other people's inspiration.

A Bit More Tongue Action

Lonwabo Tsotsobe shows that it is not only spin bowlers who can use the power of the tongue in producing the unplayable ball.

Twist And Turn

Is it any wonder they end up with bad backs?

Each To His Own

It may not be pretty, but Sohail Tanvir's delivery was good enough to bag three wickets in two and a bit overs.

The Eyes Have It

One of the best cricket delivery pics I have seen. Steyn is all business and spooky concentration as befits a world class quick bowler. Not sure what Fred Trueman would have thought of the tattoo as part of the fast bowlers kit though.

Roach Steps On Kiwis

It was easy for Kemar, he just kept putting his best foot forward.

Read It And Smile...

... misread it and weep!

A Bit Of Tongue Action

Pat Cummins shows that bowling with your tongue is not the exclusive preserve of spin bowlers.

Cut And Thrust

While both sides were a bit scratchy in parts the Lords Test saw both sides giving it plenty of "try". It sets up the rest of the series with some interesting questions, an improvement on the processions that some early season  series have been in recent years.

What Is It With Spinners And Tongues?

Any witty answers to this question?
