Where did you get those Steve Waugh pics from? I have a magazine with all of those pictures inside it.

The Shane Warne being called for a wide picture is pretty funny.

Some more Steve Waugh pics...

There is an ian botham version of this after headingley '81 where he is smoking a cigar, if anyone can find it then i would love it.

That Andy Bichel catch was the one of the best catches of recent times.

I'd love to see a pic of one of the best banners I've seen in a while.. it read

"Bevan can bowl,
Bevan can bat,
Warne can't do either,
Cause he's too fat"

Was just awesome at the time...

Richardson happily knocks the stumps back in after being bowled by a Brett Lee no ball - if that won't make an NZ'er smile, i don't know what will. It's more a picture for the moment, rather than a picture for the picture, mind you. As for a picture for the action...

Parore showing off his skills to take the wicket of Waqar.

So very Jonty.

From Rediff, it has a very good collection of pics.

This is my favourite cricket picture of all time. Pure classic Richards.

Ah yes, I've that pic in a magazine somewhere, I'll scan and post it, if I can find it. Anyway, he's one of him, not smoking, but drinking... from the same year, and probably the same Test.

That would be awesome if you could mate. Saw a big version of it on sale in some poster shop a while back and stupidely didn't buy it, big mistake. Can't find it anywhere now!

Here's a snap of the pic from the magazine I've, taken from my camera phone. It's obviously of not so good a quality, but I'll scan it at some later date, so as to get a much more clear quality.

Adrian Murrell (the photographer) on the pic:

In twenty-odd years of covering international cricket, this pitcure means the most to me. It was taken after what I think is the greatest Test match turnaround in history, when England defeated Australia at Headingley in July, 1981. The obvious image would have been an action pitcure of a swashbuckling Ian Botham hitting fours and sixes to all parts of the ground. However, the quieter moment with him in the dressing room smoking a cigar while reflecting on his momentous achievement is far more poigant. This is one of the reasons why it has been used extensively in books, magazines and newspapers.

Great stuff, wonder what was going through his mind. Suppose he didn't know what willis was about to go and do though!

I saw that catch live. Think Rob Croft was the batsman. Still can't believe it to this day..
