IT looks like the phantom prankster paid a visit to New Road last week.

On the opening day of Worcestershire's match against Leicestershire several of the players' cars had been tampered with. I must say that there was nothing malicous, it was all just a bit of harmless fun.

A lot of the players' cars had their windscreen wipers lifted up during the day, while Kabir Ali had his car wrapped in black and yellow polythene tape.

No-one is claiming responsibility for these pranks, with some claiming they knew nothing about Kabir's car until he told them the next day.

Congratulations to Simon Jones and family after he became a father for the second time last week. With a little boy already in the Jones' household, young Charlie made his appearance last Wednesday morning.
