Pat with some match side entertainment.

Yaz, Jonathan and Peggy await.

Rohan fields from Andy's bowling.

Andy "running" in.

Kuchey adjusting his equipment, because cricketers in Finland just love adjusting their equipment.

Timo doing something.

Serious looking team discussion as Peggy points out the 5-step plan to driving back to Helsinki while maintaining fuel economy

My grandmother could have hit that ball with a stick of rhubarb.

Yaz's only off side shot.

Well within 15 degrees of flexion by the looks of it...

Brett bending his back

Spectators look on, one man is so interested he appears to either be yawning or yelling like a mad man

Short leg is either trying to field this ball, or hide from it.

Johno looking classical

Mid-pitch conference between Ilva and Shaw

Timo plays it straight down

Shaw looking, well, class to be perfectly frank

Kari doing his Paul Adams impersonation

Rohan fields from Kari's bowling

Shannon watches Ryland bat

Shaw plays another lashing cover drive, of truly immense power (and probably hit it straight to a fielder, as well)

Ryland on the cut for Tampere

Kari walks back to his mark

Yaz showing us all that it's possible to walk and bat at the same time

Scamans trudges to the mid-pitch discussion

Ilva looking rather indescribable

Look here sonny boy.

WIIIIIIIIIDE.

October finally seemed to hit one during the season, this is photographic evidence

Ilva takes evasive action

Even in the field, and on his less beautiful side, Shaw makes quite the impression on the field of play

Simon says, "put your hands on your hips"

Kuchey smackin' it.

Peggy scrambles towards the stumps

On the ICC agenda this year were super subs, power plays, and the colour of Brett's batting gloves.

Probably went miles

Rohan, the star in the field

Shaw, well I really can't say enough good things about this man, once again in the thick of the action.

SOLID.

Scamans, Yaz and Johno doing the business.

It's going so fast the speed camera can barely pick it up

Shaw, pounces on a leg side ball with a deft flick off the legs down to fine leg, probably only for one, but never the less a shot of sheer class. Bags of talent this boy.

Fielded yaar

That's probably gones mile and all

Well the furniture's been knocked over and it's all over for Kuchey

Nothing more than a prod really, probably no runs scored off it (again)

I swear, they just bowled leg stump to this man all day, because there isn't a SINGLE photo of him playing through the off side.

This is a tough one...

Scamans at the crease

Timo backing up

Shaw stepping into the ball as he smacks it straight to the guy standing in the foreground, another wonderful looking shot, for most likely no runs what so ever

Scamans works it off the hips

... --- ...

Yaz through the off side?

Nice view of the game
