Jack sent an email to Cricinfo requesting they change his profile pic last year iirc. Not sure what thread it was.

Maybe Imran should do the same.

It's probably just the time but I find a lot of West Indian cricketers from the early 1970s (Bernard Julien, Lawrence Rowe etc.) sport a hairstyle simply unrecogniseable today.

That one isn't bad, this one below was his pic for ages and made me laugh.

And was taken just 5 years after his Under-19 profile pic. Looking at them without knowledge, you'd tend to guess there was more like 25 years between them than 5.

Small had a neck?

Have you ever seen any other pics of him?

It'd be bloody hard to make him look like he had a neck.
