    Nekkid cricket

    By Will 2 years ago, at the end of July Leave a comment on this post

    Half naked girl-from-the-1970s playing cricket. Would I stoop so low? Frankly, it’d be rude of me not to:

    Naked female cricketer

    It’s an album cover before any feminists hunt me down and kill me. Seen on Flickr.

    Sigh. Truth be told, if I could use such currently-PC-unsuitable photos, I might get more interest in women’s cricket. We clothe our ladies more traditionally.

    Can’t do such a good Bardot imitation but can still suck in the old gut and knock a boundary or 2 (on a very VERY lucky day). And as child of the 60s still think that “Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep” was a good song.

    Looks like there are some classic tunes on there… :|

    ‘playing cricket’ in the loosest sense of the phrase, clearly. Actually the same goes for the album title…

    I reckon Harmy’s modelled his style on the feminist on the cover - clearly looking to skelp the ball back over the bowler’s head. Boycott would not be happy, not a percentage shot.

    And who says cricket is supposed to be sexier now?

    Silly cow has done the buckles on her pads the wrong way.

    No i think her buckles are right, but she seems to be wearing her hector protector on her hip.

    I guess what this really had to do with cricket is the reference to Charles Bannerman on the cover - Australia’s highest scorer on debut.

    lol…only similar one I have seen was when I finally convinced my wife setting foot in a cricket shop wouldn’t kill her. We were greeted by a huge poster of a woman wearing cricketing protecive gear and facing up, but she wasn’t wearing much else! Needless to say, I wasn’t popular that day….
