6 August, the Oval. Phipps says: "Moores has his hands clasped in front of his body which is him forming a barrier, suggesting there is some kind of barrier between him and whoever he is speaking to. Pietersen has his hands on his hips, which gives him the feeling of being in control."Photograph: Anthony Devlin/PA21 August, Headingley. "That looks like quite a happy scene – but again there is no eye contact in this photo, and when people are getting on and laughing they tend to look at each other."Photograph: Lee Smith/Action Images30 October, Antigua. "There is no eye contact from Pietersen though Moores is looking at Pietersen and has his hand on his chin, an analytical pose. The right foot of Moores is further forward than his left foot, a sign of dominance."Photograph: Tom Shaw/Getty Images
16 November, Indore. "Moores with his tongue hanging out could just be licking his lip, but it is also a frustration signal. Sure, Pietersen’s got his thumb up for the journalists, but he is not smiling, is he?"Photograph: Adnan Abidi/Reuters19 November, Kanpur. "Pietersen looks quite happy there, it’s a nice genuine smile. Moores's expression is curious and downcast – his head is actually lowered downwards and he is not looking at either Pietersen or Andy Flower. Both Pietersen and Moores have their hands on their hips, which is a way of giving yourself the feeling of more confidence or control."Photograph: Pawan Kumar/Reuters23 November, Bangalore. "Again there is no eye contact between the two of them and Moores' slightly furrowed forehead is generally a sign that somebody is trying to make sense of something. Pietersen is looking in a completely different direction."Photograph: Julian Herbert/Getty Images5 December, Abu Dhabi. "The fact that Pietersen is sitting on the icebox gives him some superiority because of the height advantage. Moores’s hand gesture, unless he is describing something specific or pointing or counting, is unusual. That could be laying down the law."Photograph: Tom Shaw/Getty Images9 December, Chennai: "Pietersen is making eye contact with Moores, but Moores is not. Moores has his arms in a semi-crossed position, again a barrier. Pietersen again has hands on hips, which makes him bigger."
