England v New Zealand Two Test series is Battle of the Beards
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that the two Test series between England and New Zealand that starts at Lords on 2nd June see the international cricket summer start with a Battle of the Beards.
Kiwi captain Kane Williamson has long had a full organic beard, while England captain Joe Root, for many clean shaven, has in recent times sported a stylish designer beard.
The campaigners say that the beard styles of the Captains reflect significant differences in playing methods. New Zealand tend to be full-on in both batting and bowling while England rely more on artisan technique.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Lords will be a real Battle of the Beards. Will Kane Williamson’s full on organic approach shave Joe Root’s designer approach?
