A CHANCE TO HELP THE PAKISTAN EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS, AND ENJOY WONDERFUL BACKYARD CRICKET ENACTMENTS:

Hi Patrick,

You've previously mentioned my Ashes cricket photos at Oxblog (ed: we did, they were rather famously 'some of the best photographs the game has produced'!), so I just wanted to let you know that I've put a poster together for my Ashes blog re-enactment photos. Someone left a comment suggesting that I should do something like this, and I'm crazy enough to give it a try. It's up for sale on Ebay at the moment:

"Now, exclusively to Ebay, you can purchase this fantastic 8 inch by 12 inch print of original re-enactments from The Greatest Series - England v Australia 2005. Each of the five Tests is covered:
a.. Lord's - "Adam Gilchrist celebrates the wicket of Freddie Flintoff - caught Gilchrist, bowled Warne for 3."
b.. Edgbaston - "Ricky Ponting trudges back to the pavilion after being dismissed for a duck."
c.. Old Trafford - "Michael Vaughan salutes the crowd after scoring a century at Old Trafford."
d.. Trent Bridge - "With a beer and a cigarette in one hand, and a ball in the other, Shane Warne very nearly won the game for Australia."
e.. The Oval - "Under dark and gloomy skies, Andrew Strauss is caught by Simon Katich close to the wicket. This photo is a re-enactment of the bad light."
It's not serious - and it's not meant to be - but you will be proud to hang this print up on your wall. It has been professionally printed on photo paper, and it looks just like the sort of thing you would get at the Channel Nine Sport Shop."

Here's the link:

I'll also be donating the entire amount that it sells for to World Vision's Pakistan earthquake appeal ... so hopefully I get at least a few dollars for it. With that in mind, I'd really appreciate it if you could make a short reference to it at your blog.

Thanks mate.

Sincerely,

Darryl
