Sporting Pictures of the week :- 1 August

During the week South Africa blocked out the final day on a turner in Sri Lanka to narrowly salvage a draw and go top of the ICC rankings.  Cricket is a game of millimetres though, as Kaushal Silva proves here.

Chris Walker-Hebborn is a gold winning English swimmer.  He may not know it yet, but in later life he will regret that tattoo.

There has been a bit of talk during the week about how Usain Bolt isn’t particularly enjoying his time in Glasgow.  But first there was the “How would you fix Gaza?” press conference, and then demeaning photo opportunities like this.

What’s not to love about the Mt Smart Mr Bean guy?  Funnier than the original.

This is what an awkward Press Conference looks like.

And Kevin Nolan.  You don’t play for Newcastle anymore; you play for West Ham.

The Tour de France wound up during the week.  Any vantage point will do.

Steve Finn is attempting a comeback to the England cricket side.  And he even has sponsors to assist in this and they’ve got fins on their heads.  Geddit?  Something about jumping the shark perhaps.

You have probably seen this by now but, for posterity’s sake, is the unanswered question of the week.
