there's just so many questions this picture raises. why are they so dirty? why are they using a keeper for backyard cricket when there's a shed near by? Why is the keeper using gloves? Why are they using a mat? shouldn't they move that plant

Spent the first half of his FC career as a batting allrounder who bowled brisk medium pace. You would've been a fan.
Then watched Murali bowl and adopted his "approach" - true story and one cited by old-time coaches as evidence of the damage done to the game by making bowling a free for all

*Tried to bowl with a permanently bent arm without having a permanently bent arm.

Murali just had a huge biological advantage, get over it.

Cautious as always, Geoff Lawson in the news cautioning against Pat Cummins playing Tests too soon. Must have been hell being Pakistan's coach.

why are they so dirty?
Slidin in the mud man.

why are they using a keeper for backyard cricket when there's a shed near by?
Bloke obviously has the fielding skills of a pot plant. It's still auto wicky so they're just making him feel useful.

Why is the keeper using gloves?
Raises his fielding from the level of a pot plant to a shrubbery.

shouldn't they move that plant?
Only if they feel they don't need a leg slip. That's where the flora fields.

Anyway given that it's clear that Cummo is a through and through Panthers boy I'm cheering for him to make every position in every form of cricket. Opener, Keeper, Leg Spinner, throw the lot at him. Make him the head of the whole setup tbh.

CUMMEH!!!

Lawson has always struck me as kind of creepy, and offbeat.
I've always thought he was one of the best thinkers on the game around. Been a fan of Henry since forever. Wouldn't characterise him as cautious either. He has shown plenty of times in the past the ability to make tough calls.
