It’s Dwayne Smith and it’s one of the half-hourly Mongoose cricket bat press releases we receive.

Dwayne Smith is the world's finest cricketing beach cowboy

We have a friend who had to be photographed as a cowboy once. We won’t say why. Not because it’s sinister, but because it sounds sinister if we leave the reason to your imagination.
