Lookalikes

There's not much cricket news about at the moment, so inspired by the pairing of Richie Benaud and Yoda (see previous posts) I thought I would invite you to send in other cricketers masquerading in unfamiliar settings. How about Tony Lewis (left) and Derek Nimmo?

Lewis Nimmo

Flanders Buchanan

Will, a frequent correspondent to this blog, also suggests an uncanny similarity between John Buchanan, the Australia coach, and Ned Flanders, neighbour of The Simpsons (TM, picture copyright of Twentienth Century Fox Film Corporation etc etc)

Well I have to say that the I Don't Like Cricket Collective have been ploughing this furrow for sometime now - particularly with the a specialist interest in He-Man / cricket lookalikes.

Here are a few of our favourites.

Others that I've spotted:
Dinesh Karthik & Ajay Ratra (two young Indian wicket-keepers) (http://cricket24x7.blogspot.com/2006/02/kumbh-mela.html) and Ponting & Bush and Nasser Hussain & Vladimir Putin! (http://jagadish.blogspot.com/2004/01/politics-us-president-george-bush.html#lookalike)
