Furious Ponting accuses opponents of bizarre IPL rules breach... is completely wrong

He’s been known best for his notorious head of totally genuine *cough* hair, but Doug ‘The Rug’ Bollinger has now decided to rejoin the horde of the bald.
In a one-day trial match for the New South Wales Blues, Bollinger was sporting a noticeably aerodynamic look.

Bollinger sprung into national contention back in 2007-08, when he grabbed 45 wickets at an average of 15.44 in the season for the Blues. A Cricket Australia contract duly followed, as did a luscious collection of locks not long after. Problem was, Dougie’s new head of hair never really seemed all too genuine, especially when the left-arm quick was picked up on hotspot after taking a wicket for Australia team.
There hasn’t been a halo which has glowed as brightly as Doug’s head did on that day.
But it turns out Bollinger has decided to ditch the rug, shaving his head and opting instead for a fairly hefty beard instead. Hardly a ringing endorsement for Ashley and Martin, the hair loss company who so proudly list Bollinger in their ‘Celebrities with hair replacement’ page.
Anyway, turns out the new do is suiting Doug pretty nicely, with Mr Rug-less picking up a couple of early wickets in the trial against Tasmania.
WICKET! And it's Doug again!! Michael hooks to the deep and it's a great diving catch at fine leg. @crickettas 2-17, Doug has 2-7! #NSWvTAS
