Reading through Zainub's musings on cricketing hair-styles, the following thought came back to me:
Looking at Dhoni sometimes, you get the feeling he's waiting for the ball to go past him, say, to short third man, so that, he can take off after it, cap slipping off, hair flying all over, him sliding, all flourish, turning with the slide, head thrown back, hair everywhere again, and then the final hurl of the ball. It's a bit like Rene Higuita, it was not the goalkeeping he was really after, it was the dribble past a couple of forwards, dreadlocks flying.
