Baldheads - the new dread

No sooner had the Indians recovered from the jet-lag, than they unleashed their latest fashion statement - Baldheads Unlimited. Sreesanth set things rolling even before leaving India, and it didn't take too long for Irfan Pathan and Suresh Raina to catch on.

Sreesanth, it is learnt, shaved his head for religious reasons but Pathan and Raina joined the when-in-Windies-do-as-the-locals-do brigade couple of days after landing.

Rockstar MSD (Dhoni to some) had showed early signs of this revolution a few weeks back, when he chopped off his bobbing mane and cited 'tremendous heat and humidity in the Caribbean' to be the main reason. "But I will let it grow now," he revealed, "and by the end of the tour, it should be back to its earlier splendour."

Curtly Ambrose and Richie Richardson once started a band called 'New Dread and the Baldhead'. This Indian side is reversing the concept a bit: Baldheads - the new dreads.
