With Great Honour

Mahela Jayawardene becomes the latest cricket great to make the last walk to the wicket. All power and honour to him.

Old Hands, Good Mates

Strong 'Till The End

Strong 'till the end - a fitting description of Kumar Sangakkara, be it a game or a career.

The Golden Wave

Asia Cup Champions - not a bad time to celebrate.

The Long 22

This one is based on a great photo contributed by a fan to the Cricinfo gallery - see the original here. Something very soothing about a late afternoon game played for fun.

Effective, Not Pretty

Dinesh Chandimal goes big if not perfectly balanced.

I wonder when it was the last professional batsman consulted the MCC Coaching Manual?

Kulasekara Gets A New Name

Talking Heads

Or words to that effect.

Home Town Happy

Home Town Hero

You think the locals are happy to have Malinga in town?

Pop Rocket

Nuwan Pradeep colours it up in the nets.

Boots And All

The boot goes on his foot but who knows what goes on in Lasith Malinga's mind?

Malinga made enigmatic with the help of PaintingFoto and Photoshop CS5.

Make A Note

Kaushal Lokuarachchi might not be easy to pronounce but there are a few commentators who are going to have to get their tongues around it in the next few years.

A Blue And Gold Night

Lively Lasith

Pulverised In Paarl

It would appear that Sri Lanka paid more attention to the scenery than they did to the game of cricket. It takes a bit of pressure of that other team that scored 47 a few months back.

Tillers Gets Happy

Not a bad New Year's present - a win, a wicket and somebodies hat.

Starry Starry Night

It may not be the best image of Kumar Sangakkara you have ever seen but there is no doubt that he is an "old master".

Sri Lanka Rides Again

Tillers expresses his joy at being back in the saddle. Of course, scoring a hundred in 55 balls is also going to make him jump for joy.

Good To Go?

Sanath Jayasuriya is starting to look a bit like the practice ball he is playing with - marked, a touch battered but still serviceable.

And yes, there is a certain similarity in shape as well.
