LA Times and Hair's trousers

Another day, another headline. This time the LA Times gets into the act and kicks all America's troubles to the sidelines as they put cricket on the front page (subscription may be required).

Meanwhile, I have dredged up another dark moment in Darrell Hair's history. The Basin Reserve test last year when Hair refused to take off his trousers.

Some of you may remember that Hair chose to wear dark trousers instead of the more usual white ones despite requests from the New Zealand batsmen, who could not pick up the bowling of Lasith "Slinger" Malinga.
