The Jimmy Savile Test
Now then, who wants to look like me?
Now then, now then - never mind the cricket, the real competition at Headingley this week involves finding a dead ringer for Jimmy Savile.
Spectators are being encouraged to dress up as the eccentric veteran DJ, with the winner coming face to face with their hero.
The contest has been inspired by the trend over the years for fans to turn up to international matches dressed as anything from Donald Duck to Elvis Presley.
And with this Test being held in Yorkshire, Sir Jimmy, with his trademark blonde hair and cigar, seemed the obvious theme.
The contest will be judged on Saturday, when all look-a-likes will be ordered to stand up and be counted.
Sue Newton, spokeswoman for sponsors NPower, who dreamt up the idea, said: "Jimmy Savile is a hugely popular figure who holds great appeal for sports fans.
"This initiative is all about showing the wide appeal of Test cricket and how much fun it is as a spectator sport."
Jim'll fix it for the winner of the competition to receive £100 cash, a year's supply of Yorkshire Tea and an official trophy.
And even better, the prizes will be presented by the man himself. How's about that, then?
