TEN SUGGESTIONS FOR WHAT WARWICKSHIRE MIGHT DO WITH THE SCOREBOARD AT THE PAVILION END.

1. Have it towed away for scrap. Must be worth at least a fiver.

2. Send it to a cricket museum. Visitors will marvel at how spectatators used to cope with such a hopeless, faltering piece of equipement.

3. Turn it round and hammer nails into the back from which numbers could be hung, thereby relating the score in old-fashioned but reliable style.

4. Make it a designated target for seagulls and other feathered creatures, thereby encouraging them to reduce the trail of devastation they habitually leave elsewhere, notably on silver Ford Fiestas.

5. Redevelop it as a luxury, character residence and rent it out to a bespectacled loss-adjuster called Norman.

6. Drape it in curtains and tassles and festoon it with hanging baskets so, like other essentially useless items, it at least has decorative value.

7. Send it to Zimbabwe so Robert Mugabe can use it as his election scoreboard.

8. Pack it up lock, stock and barrel, transport it to New Zealand and instal it in Mark Greatbatch's garden as a token of appreciation for all his good work for the club.

9. Recycle it into 26,736,812 bat handles.

10. Leave it just as it is and allow it to continue to regularly make the club a laughing stock.
