Art for cricket's sake

ArnieCricket = Action = Art is a blog that I've recently discovered and become quite a fan of. The author, Martyd (surely not Damien Martyn??), hails from New Zealand and describes himself as "taller than Sachin Tendulkar, better looking than Scotty Styris, younger than Jack Hobbs, more self-controlled than Jesse Ryder and more humble than Ricky Ponting".

He is also a darned fine manipulator of Photoshop, as this image of Ryan Sidebottom shows. In fact, Martyd does barely any writing, focusing his skills instead on taking regular photos of cricket and turning them into works of art. He's well worth a regular visit.

Incidentally, this blog will be two years old in a couple of weeks and it's about time for an update of the blogroll. Send me your suggestions for your favourite blogs and I'll probably do a list or something special to mark the occasion.
