Identify the cricketer - 1 to 5, medium mode. follows..

I.
It takes a lot out of you to play International cricket. A top level cricket team can do without a coach, but physios are a must. The little champ in caps is Ian Bell, whereas Dean Conway, the England cricket team physio (who was robbed by masked-men at a sydney hotel) is showing the V.
Hint : Cricket has nothing to do with nudity, but this is one of those photos. The naked man captain's England these days & rarely fields at backward point - which made him one of the best fielders in the world. Right handed batsman with good spin playing ability.

options : Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Graeme Swann, Jamies Dalrymple or Luke wright.


II
Don't be sacred. its just the stupid camera that has made this geniuenly handsome cricketer look like a vampire.

Hint : He could have been driving delivery van by now, as his back problem (due to the bending bowling action he has) came haunting for the 4th time in 2004, inside 6 years of cricket learning.. Say thanks to his mentors, today this left arm queenslander takes new ball frequently for cricket Australia national team. And gets Tendulkar out frequently. His nick names are Midge or Notch, whichever you like.

Options : Bendon Julian, Nathan Brackan, Mitchell Johnson, Brad Hogg or Simon Katich.

III

No no, he's not taking a picture of the field, but its some kind of reaction of dis-appointment.

Hint : Has a pop ground - 'six and out', and plans to make a career in Indian film industry once he hangs his cricket boot. Already a duet with singer Asha Bhosle is out , but this man is thinking only about yorking-bouncing the batsman (as of now) & aspires to take 250 test wickets at an average lower than 30..

Confusion is huge over this man bowling the fastest ball - over 160kmph along with Shoaib Akhtar. No one knows for sure, as different speedguns show different readings under different conditions.

Options : Jason Gillespie, Michael Kasproviwz, Shaun Tait, Andy Bichel, Brett Lee.


IV
There's little net between you and the man in picture.. in which this lefty seems to have caught in between mind & bat. a sorry story he has.

HintHe was vice captain when betrayed his team & went back home before tough Indian tour started in 2006. reason - mental stress they said. Never played for his country since, till date. December 25th born Somerset batsman is also nick-named - Banger! his highest first class score is also an international score - 219 against South Africa at the Oval.

Options : Michael Vaughan, Mark Butcher, Robert Key, Marcus Trescothick, Ravi Bopara.

V
Australia have rarely produced good left-arm orthodox spinners, but left arm leg-spinners, also known as chinaman, have been frequent in their side. this man is one such 'very rare' breed of spinners.

Hint : Said he'll be the main spinner in Aussie ranks since the retirement of Shane Warne in 2006 and hoped for a test spot soon. we;re waiting to see this man more than 4 test matches after playing 11 years of one day cricket for Australia. One more thing - You'll never see him bowl without his toung show like the picture we have. George is his nick name and he don't have a first class century even though he averages better than usual tailenders.

Options : Michael Beven, Brad Hogg, Simon Katich, Derren Lehman, Collin Miller.
