Thank you IPL, for grinding cricket down to a screeching halt.
This is the time of year where instead of the *real* game we have an exhibition of cricket ball abuse featuring teams tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum while us poor fans and purists have been forced to revisit our old highlights collections, banish cricinfo.com to the wilderness, and suffer severe writers block.
Devoid of inspiration, what must the dear old blogger resort to?
Trivia!
Some months ago there was an internet obsession with dopplegangers, or lookalikes. Unfortunately most of the time it was clutching on straws, heck people tell me I look like Jehan Mubarak, big deal. And truth be told human to human lookalikes are a tad boring, so we see the same person twice... we've seen twins before and not the Schwarzenegger-deVito kind either.
So instead I present to you, animated and cartoon contemporaries of famous (and not so famous) cricketers of recent times.
Ryan Sidebottom is Sideshow Bob
While one plotted to destroy Bart Simpson, the other plotted to destroy New Zealand batting line-ups.
Darren Lehmann is Shrek
The team even nick-named him Shrek, so everyone is in on this one.
