It makes me a little bit sad to announce this

It turns out that Graeme Smith's hair is not the carefully styled, captainly hair I thought it was.

Gallo has a picture of Graeme and his brother (whom we shall call mini-Graeme being that he's just a shorter, slightly rounder version of Graeme*) and he has captainly hair too! It's clearly genetic hair.

The fluffy, non-captainly hair must be the bit he puts effort into.

I'd post an image, but I can't be bothered to work out how. You should go here and see Graeme being welcomed back to South Africa by people with banners. There really should have been garlands and musical tributes.

* being a younger sibling myself, I should point out that Graeme could just be a larger, more svelte version of him, but I know Graeme's name so we'll have to go with that option.

It is. You'd feel quite sorry for anyone who had to be Graeme's brother if they hadn't somehow managed to find the one job that's actually slightly cooler than being an international cricket captain.

Graeme so came home planning to put an end to 20 years of sibling rivalry by announcing the captaincy and then Little Brother announced he'd just scored a job chasing giraffe.

I'm reposting that because I was wrong about the ages. Graeme just *looks* like someone's baby brother.

It must help when they have that family dinner and Graeme talks all about hitting a ball and running a bit, and brother gets to describe how he wrestled a rhino into a crate.

Graeme's wrestled Nella on to a plane, but it's not quite the same.

He's probably eyed the tranquiliser gun once or twice.

He so has. It would make life so much easier.
