Caption Competition 243

The Australian cricketers are enjoying a day off after winning the first Test against New Zealand.

Jason helps the punt along as Glenn relaxes on the Avon River.

As usual we received loads of entries but there can only be one winner - and here it is...

The Australian attempts to enter the University Boat Race weren't being taken that seriously by the other competitors.

A BBC Sport goody bag is winging its way to Adam from England. Congratulations Adam!
