Caption competition
What was Hoggard thinking?
November 12, 2005
The dust on this summer's Ashes series has finally settled, and after a 62-day break England's focus switches towards Pakistan and Multan. And ours, too, as we prepare ourselves for a shockingly-early 4am start. To help us through the early mornings, it's time for another caption competition.
The captain is injured, Marcus Trescothick is seeking advice from his wife and, below, Matthew Hoggard has already received his first massage of the tour. But what, we ask you, was he or the bystanders really thinking?
Submit your answers by logging in (and registering, if you haven't already done so) below - and we'll publish the best, and worst, once the dust settles (literally) on the Multan Test. The best three will each win a copy of David Frith's book, Battle for the Ashes.

Assistant editor Will opted against a lifetime of head-bangingly dull administration in the NHS, where he had served for two years. In 2005 came a break at Cricinfo where he slotted right in as a ferociously enthusiastic tea drinker and maker, with a penchant for using "frankly" and "marvellous". He also runs The Corridor, a cricket blog where he can be found ranting and raving about all things - some even involving the sport. He is a great-great nephew of Sir Jack Newman, the former Wellingtonian bowler who took two wickets at 127 apiece for New Zealand.
