Sporting pictures of the Week :- 24 Feb

From the slightly toe-curling Sporting Event Promotion Photo Op file.  Here is Roger Federer serving on a barge next to Charles Bridge in Prague promoting the Laver Cup which will be held in September.

Yup, nothing awkward about that at all.

Another sportsman who is prone to the awkward photo op is Steve Smith, before the first test in Pune.

Perhaps he should have used his bat, as practice in how to keep hold of it may have come in handy later on.

What a week for Wayne Shaw. From cult hero pie eater to publicly shamed and sacked by his club.  Worst of all, he had to sit next to Piers Morgan.

The renovations at Lords are coming along nicely.  The seats are ready to go in.

Hamish Marshall.  Quick, it’s time to do the toss. And put a shirt on before you run out there.

The feeling of having rolled Australia for 66.
