Umpires are made of wood
By Will 2 years ago, at the start of March, 3 Comments »
It’s official: umpires are made out of wood after all. This genius shot of a dead tree carved into an umpire was found on Flickr:
When I eventually build my own house – one of my lifelong ambitions – I’d find it hard not to resist carving my own umpire. It’s a must-have for any cricket tragic and makes me wonder what else you might chisel out of an old tree…

Nice description of this photo on Flickr
2 Comments »Some people play it in greeny grounds. Some play it in municipal dumps*. Some people play with real wickets. Some people play with brick-walla wickets. Some people play in proper uniforms. Some people play in torn trousers. Some people have chai breaks. Some people have tea breaks. Some people win. Some people lose. They all love cricket.

This is brilliant! Bunch of lads playing cricket on ice, in the snow, in the cold, in Estonia. I’m going to have to put my journalist’s hat on and speak to them.

Stavros reminded me of these photos, which I forgot to post last night.

It’s Flamenco Cricket. It’s new, it’s crazy and it’s coming to a club near you it’s more than a little odd.
See? Winning the Ashes does strange things to everyone. From Flickr user reggio.

I think this photo was taken in South Africa. Maybe. Wherever, it’s a bloody excellent shot:

cowfish has got some great photos from England’s Ashes parade in Trafalgar Square today.
England on the bus
Office workers trying to grab a glimpse
A packed-out London
And a brilliant panoramic view of the crowd (best viewed large)
And some from Matt
Wives look on
Fans cool down in the fountain
From James comes this shot of the crowd
Ben has a whole bunch of Bus photos
Goes without saying that if you have any you want to share, send them in…

The green-eyed monster in me is rising…if anyone is feeling generous and wants to give me their ticket for any of the five days, do let me know. I won’t mind going in place of you.
