A reader complements our post with a cavalcade of cricket beards. Another writes:
Sports Illustrated is insulting Pakistanis by leaving out the great beards from Saeed Anwar (who started the trend), Inzamam-ul-haq, and Mohammed Yousuf. They are far better than the average American efforts.

One man's nightmare is another's dream.
