Paul clinches it
Paul wins the Seagull Trophy with his immaculate prediction for the first ball: "Outside off stump. Batsman comfortably leaves it alone."
Congratulations, Paul. Hard lines and thanks to everyone else who took part.

Brian Halford - Brian Halford’s look at Edgbaston.
Are you sure it wasn't a no ball...... a bit misty this morning. I was rather looking forward to collecting the trophy ;-)
But rejoice..... our journey in division 2 is underway.
Was n't there to see it, but I bet the first ball as described drew a nice round of applause from the slip fielders.
Yes it did!
Well I have to say I'm pretty much lost for words.
Having seen Wolves defeated by the old enemy Albion last night, I was starting to wonder if life was worth the hack any more.
But the trousering of the Seagull Trophy has lifted my spirits like nothing else on earth.
Obviously there are a few people I'd like to thank.
Brian of course, my mother and father (who used to give me a proper Action Man rather than a deserter), Richard O'Sullivan and perhaps most importantly the two protagonists themselves - messrs Carter and Mitchell.
I await the 'trophy' presentation with interest....
Probly the only trophy Wolves win this century...
