Comments on: Okay, your job’s pretty rubbish, but at least you’re not South Africa captain during a World Cup

In reply to Sam. He would do a better job than my current barber, who has started creating a weird sort of side parting which is totally ruining my carefully-cultivated look.

In reply to Sam. Why are you letting a hyperactive four-year-old cut your hair Sam?

Every time I load the BBC sport page, it shows me a picture of David Warner smiling broadly. That feels somewhat akin to getting hit in the nuts too, funnily enough

In reply to Ged Ladd. Today I had my hair cut and got hit in the nuts by a hyperactive four-year-old. Still not sure which was more unpleasant.

In reply to Edwardian. I don't think that haircut would have gone down well on Madison Avenue, Edwardian, even in the 60s

Is it possible that there is a direct connection between:

Faf’s “getting hit in the nutsfulness”…and…

…the fact that hair growth on Faf’s forehead has been suppressed in a bilateral pair of periorbital fields. In short, Faf’s widow’s peak.

I briefly had a widow’s peak myself, years ago, but without the nad-bashing excuse and I chose not to emphasise the fact. My barnet soon went all Bard on me anyway:

I don’t like having my hair cut. I’d sooner captain the South African cricket team. Faf might feel similarly when comparing the two activities. But then again, I’d sooner have my hair cut than be hit in the nads by a cricket ball.

He looks like that bloke out of ‘Mad Men’ to me.
