Caption Competition 201
Australian bowler Shane Warne

This week's caption competition features Australia's leg-spinner Shane Warne.

Warnie had made the journey to Harare to join his Australia team-mates for their Test against Zimbabwe.

But following the cancellation of the fixture, he was quick to pack his rather large bag and make his way back to England, where he plays for Hampshire.

And jet-lag didn't seem to be a problem for the 34-year-old, who snapped up four wickets during Hampshire's victory over Goucestershire two days later.

Well done to Steve S from Scotter who pouches a BBC goody bag with this topical load of old nonsense:

The last housemate enters the Big Brother house!

A new cap comp will be published on Monday.
