Caption Competition 211

This week's cap comp finds England's latest cricket hero Andrew Flintoff in a strange pose during the first Test with West Indies at Lord's.

'Freddie' Flintoff had his limbs pointing at all angles as he tried to win an lbw decision.

England later went on to claim an excellent 210-run win thanks in part to Flintoff's 3-25 in West Indies' first innings.

But what do you think is going through the Lancastrian's mind as he screeches "howzat"?

We were bowled over (collective groan) by some of the responses this week but Natalie Boardman emerged victorious with this topical effort:

"Dad, I'm here! Throw us the that ball and I'll show you how to catch it!"

A new cap comp will be published on Monday.
