The Ashes Caption Competition

Throughout the last three Ashes tests, we have been running a caption competition - your task was to take a photo supplied by us which hopefully was mildly amusing, and make us laugh.

Some of you did make us laugh, some of you just confused us, but the best of, it has to be said, a pretty good bunch was this belter from Pete Roberts (also known as Sledger to most of us) to describe the photo on the right:

"Captain Ricky Ponting is quick to use CPR on a hysterical Shane Warne after England announce an unchanged side for the 5th and final Test."

If you think you can do better, then by all means email your own caption to competitions@cricketworld.com. No prizes, but we'll let you know if we like them.

Keep your eye on the competitions page for more chances to win and further caption competitions to be run later on in the year.
