Australians and their hair!
So to be a bowler in the Aussie squad, you clearly have to be blonde. Not only that but you need to lighten your hair with even blonder streaks to mask your receding hairline and tip a whole tub of wet-look gel on your scalp to make it spiky.
So THAT’S why Gillespie has been dropped! The black mullet doesn’t fit with the team’s corporate identity!

It’s awful if you ask me, and the depressing part is that the trend of dodgy haired Australian bowler is going to continue for a while …I saw a couple of matches of the Australia A tour to Pakistan, and for the exception of off spinner Darrel Cullen I couldn’t watch any of the other lads for too long - I just couldn’t bare it. All of them were seemingly too inspired by Shane Watson.
And what’s with the increased length? Is getting a trim very expensive in Australia…I mean just look at Nathan Bracken … he’s getting very close to that point where if I were a batsmen in the opposition team I’d protest his hair was hampering my concentration skills.
Why can’t all cricketers have nice, proper decent hair cuts like Ashley Giles - no mullets, no streaks, no highlights, no non-sense - and instead good old simple but cut, the same you’ve had since you were eight. How simple, how admirable!
