Free!
Michael Vaughan - one of the most graceful batsman in world cricket and the most successful captain in England's Test history - has now turned his attention to the world of contemporary art.
Apparently inspired by trips round Shoreditch galleries with Ashley Giles (is there no end to that man's talents?) Vaughan has been hitting paint-covered cricket balls at canvasses to produce art. Martina Navratilova pioneered the idea using tennis balls and now Vaughan follows suit.
It's not exactly the finest work you'll ever see but, for the cricket-obsessed, there are much worse bits of memorabilia out there.
