A CATCHY ditty about England wicket-keeper Ben Foakes earned Baildon Cricket Club youngster Adam Dean the trip of a lifetime in the Caribbean.

The 16-year-old penned the winning entry in radio broadcaster talkSPORT's competition to find a new song for the 'Barmy Army' supporters group.

That earned Yorkshire fan Adam a trip to Barbados for the first Test against the West Indies.

And while England performed poorly as they suffered a huge 381-run loss, the match will live long in the memory for the teenager.

Having performed his song - called 'Keeper Batsman' and sung to the tune of Snap's Rhythm is a Dancer - on the pitch to Foakes at the Kensington Oval, he said: "I'm over the moon. I even got some of Ben Foakes' gloves - it's been tremendous. I'm really thankful to everyone at talkSPORT and the Barmy Army.

"The song took me hours to write but it's been worth it.

"I thought it was some scam at first, my mum was going to report it to the police! The song has been going round the England team - it's mad!"

In what his first overseas tour, Adam, who was accompanied by his mum, met a number of his heroes including England captain Joe Root, spinner Adil Rashid, who is also from Bradford, and all-rounder Moeen Ali.

He also met talkSPORT presenters and England favourites Darren Gough, Steve Harmison and David Lloyd in the commentary box.

Gough said: "It was a real pleasure to meet Adam and we hope he had the best time in Barbados.

"From showing him around the commentary box it was clear he's a proper cricket fan as well as a true lyricist. But let's hope for a stronger performance from England in Antigua."
