Ladies and gentlemen I am pleased to announce an exciting new competition designed to reward high cricketing intelligence with a unique and most prestigious prize.
At stake is the Seagull Trophy, a magnificent, hand-crafted ornament forged by bearded specialists in the workshops of Cornwall. This item, which I acquired from a high-class boutique during the winter, will be awarded to the person who most closely predicts what happens when the first delivery of the Bears' 2008 season is delivered in the championship match with Worcestershire at Edgbaston on April 16. I'll set the ball rolling with: "Leg-side delivery glanced to fine leg for a single."

Okay, ladies and gentlemen, show your cricketing nous. And, by the way, the decision of the judge (me, that is) is final. I'm not having a repeat of the Old Trafford fiasco last September when the lunch-score prediction contest was seized by an unruly faction of members who wantonly rewrote the rules for their own benefit.
Get your thinking caps on. The Seagull Trophy - and let me tell you it makes the crown jewels look like a bunch of pebbles - awaits the winner.
