The philosophy of cricket.
That means I say controversial things that attempts to challenge the dominant paradigms in current cricket thinking. Yes. The paradigms.
I also try to say nice things about spinners.

Name That Bum #9
Same rules as always, you have to identify the international cricketer in the shots below. Please give you answers in the comments.
Pixelated bums.
ReplyDeleteJustin Langer.
ReplyDeletePhil Mustard?
ReplyDeleteYeah, the images are a bit dodgy this week, but I wanted to get a player that I like and represent all nationalities in this noble contest.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid you are all wrong.
yes yes i know now i squint at the third pic...
ReplyDeleteooh, Chanderpaul!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think Chris has got it. A non-English lefty who plays for Durham. I can't recall di Venuto playing in whites against England.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll say Albie Morkel just in case.
ReplyDeleteSome nice reasoning there. Some things are on the right lines; others are a bit off the mark.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid no one has it, yet.
It's not Mike Hussey is it?
ReplyDeleteNic Pothas
ReplyDeleteD'oh, he's right-handed. I reckon that vodafone logo is mis-leading - think it's an England Lions keeper.
ReplyDeleteBut that aside - Kumar Sangakkara
I'm afraid no one has it yet.
ReplyDeleteOh ho ho, it's a good'un this week.
Some people are getting close; they have the right country.
Daniel Vettori
ReplyDeleteRight country? That could be Australia, West Indies, or Sri Lanka!
ReplyDeleteOr even South Africa for that matter.
ReplyDeleteDale Benkenstein?
ReplyDeleteShiv Chanderpaul - surely - please....
ReplyDeleteBeen looking at these for too long
Sorry. Still no one has it.
ReplyDeleteI think we might have a county identification issue here...
Ottis Gibson?
ReplyDeleteShane Watson
ReplyDeleteNo it's Sean Ervine!
ReplyDeleteIsnt Shane Watson right handed?
ReplyDeleteganguly
ReplyDeleteShane Warne?
ReplyDeleteStill having problems with the county, I see.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm afraid you are all rubbish.
Jaques Rudolph??
ReplyDeleteit's not hampshire - that's what he keeps telling us.
ReplyDeletewhy oh why does no one listen.
Simon Katich
Boof? Darren Lehmann
ReplyDeleteI wasn't thinking about Hampshire, ta v much.... Younis Khan?
ReplyDeleteAnd clutching a seriously gangly straw... Jason Gillespie
ReplyDelete(btw, it *IS* chanderpaul really...)
Sadly, despite Chris' repeated attempts, Suave pipped him at the post. Well done again Suave.
ReplyDeleteIt's the Boofster. (Not Shiv.)
I've been refreshing my browser every 10 seconds since 1:50 for that?!?!?! pah. Think of all the real work i could have been doing.
ReplyDeletePoor Chris.
ReplyDeleteAt least I know I'm not the only person who tends to lean on Refresh a bit.
Huzzah!!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to getting a prize of pure delight!
Sorry Chris. I was willing you on, I really was. But if I would have given any more clues someone would have guessed it quickly.
ReplyDeleteThere are some real bum-experts here. You have some tough competition.
Maybe next week...
That's so annoying... Well done Suave.
ReplyDeleteVery jealous
I guess i need to start my own blog to get in with you lot... you told him, right?
ReplyDeleteHe couldn't afford me, sugar.
ReplyDeleteSuave naturally has a dizzingly wide knowledge of cricketers' bums. He studies them for this contest.
Perhaps you should too? On page 333 in Wisden.
