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.

Apparently I can't stop commenting.

Looking at the photos, he's signing autographs. How?! He's got no arms! Well, he has, but you know what I mean.

Apparently there was a shot of him on sky sports news attempting to sign a small person's autograph but clearly struggling to form words.

I caught the end of that! I thought I'd catch it again in an hour's time, but they never showed it again :(

I know! I was told about it, and watched the whole day and they never showed it again.

It was lovely. The child dashed towards him all excited and expecting an exciting autograph and he left slightly disappointed with an illegible scrawl on a bit of paper. Graeme did look very apologetic about it, so it's not really his fault.

At least he tried though. I'm sure other people, naming no names, would have just said no.
