The Gentleman's game



I can't wait for the world cup 2011.

Here's a question that'll test how hooked you are to cricket. Judging only from the rear view of his batting stance, who do you think is the guy facing Kumble in the first pic? I think its AB.

Well, you can see Amla at the other end and I took that photo, so I should know more, but all I remember is that SA kicked ass that day so they probably didnt lose too many.
Its not Gibbs, he has a high backlift of the bat during his stance.
I'd say AB is a good guess,
Of course I will turn to Cricinfo to confirm it now.

Damn, I should have known AB bats lower down.
Its Neil McKenzie. http://www.espncricinfo.com/indvrsa/engine/match/332911.html (End of Day 4)
