Alfonso Thomas is to take over as Somerset's limited-overs captain this summer. The South Africa-born seamer, 38, will therefore share leadership duties with former England batsman Marcus Trescothick, who will stay in charge in the LV County Championship and as club captain. Somerset coach Matthew Maynard said: 'Alfonso has played a huge amount of T20 cricket in the last few seasons, both here and abroad. 'He has tasted success in the IPL, the BPL and the Big Bash. His experiences of the intricacies of the T20 game at the highest level make him the ideal captain for the shorter form of the game.' Alfonso Thomas (left) has the experience to be an ideal short form captain, says coach Matthew Maynard . Former England batsman Marcus Trecothick (right) will remain club captain in the LV County Championship . Meanwhile, Somerset have signed Pakistan international Sohail Tanvir for next season's NatWest T20 Blast. Left-arm seamers are a prized commodity in the shortest format and 30-year-old Tanvir brings plenty of experience, with 170 domestic and 42 international Twenty20 appearances. His return of six for 14 for Rajasthan Royals in the 2008 Indian Premier League was the record bowling performance in T20 cricket until Somerset's Arul Suppiah bettered it with six for five three years later. Somerset have signed Pakistan international Sohail Tanvir for next season's NatWest T20 Blast .

Alfonso Thomas is to take over as Somerset's limited-overs captain this summer. The South Africa-born seamer, 38, will therefore share leadership duties with former England batsman Marcus Trescothick, who will stay in charge in the LV County Championship and as club captain. Somerset coach Matthew Maynard said: 'Alfonso has played a huge amount of T20 cricket in the last few seasons, both here and abroad. 'He has tasted success in the IPL, the BPL and the Big Bash. His experiences of the intricacies of the T20 game at the highest level make him the ideal captain for the shorter form of the game.' Alfonso Thomas (left) has the experience to be an ideal short form captain, says coach Matthew Maynard . Former England batsman Marcus Trecothick (right) will remain club captain in the LV County Championship . Meanwhile, Somerset have signed Pakistan international Sohail Tanvir for next season's NatWest T20 Blast. Left-arm seamers are a prized commodity in the shortest format and 30-year-old Tanvir brings plenty of experience, with 170 domestic and 42 international Twenty20 appearances. His return of six for 14 for Rajasthan Royals in the 2008 Indian Premier League was the record bowling performance in T20 cricket until Somerset's Arul Suppiah bettered it with six for five three years later.

After handing her teacher a 'sick note' to skip the day's PE lesson - Olivia McEvoy thought she had pulled off the perfect crime. But unbeknown to the 11-year-old, her mother Samantha had made no mention of her phony 'bad leg' as instructed, instead diagnosing her daughter with 'bone-idle-itus' and suggesting she be given 'a few extra laps'. The 27-year-old mother-of-two, of Cheshire, said Olivia was 'perfectly fit' to take part in the class and asked the teacher Mr Whittle to show her daughter the letter after reading it. Stitched up: The note (above) Olivia McEvoy's mother Samanatha wrote for her after she said she was 'too cold' to go to her PE lesson . Surprise: Ms McEvoy said her daughter Olivia had a 'severe case of bone-idle-itus' and suggested she did a few extra laps to warm her up . She posted a picture of the note on Facebook, which has since gone viral with more than 3,000 shares. It was accompanied with the comment: 'Well here you go Olivia here's your note for PE, it will be sealed & in an envelope ready for her to hand to the head in the morning.' The Year six pupil unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg and even giggled to friends that she had got out of PE. The joke was revealed when the headmaster - who was in on the plan - read the letter and called Olivia into his study where he told her: 'There are things in life we don't enjoy but have to do them.' Foiled: The Year 6 pupil, pictured with her father Wayne and brother Kaylan (right), unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg . Olivia then discovered her PE kit had already been dropped off at reception after her scaffolder father Wayne, 34, had secretly given it to a classmate's mother who was taking them to school that day. Ms McEvoy said: 'Unfortunately she didn't have to do the extra laps but she actually really enjoyed PE and had a good lesson. But she wasn't speaking to me at all - not for the rest of the night. 'When she got picked up by Wayne she had a face like thunder. She didn't speak to him. It was parents evening that night and all the teachers thought it was hilarious. 'It was like an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, I call her Saffy because she is so clever and sensible. When she came home she said, "mum I do not know why you think it's so funny" which made it all the more amusing. 'We couldn't stop giggling when we wrote the letter. We had to search the house top to bottom for an envelope to keep the plan secret.' Ms McEvoy, who also has a three-year-old son called Kaylan, said she and her husband played the prank after Olivia came downstairs no fewer than a dozen times to nag her about writing the fake letter. Harsh lesson: Olivia's mother said: 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like' She said: 'She has tried every trick in the book to get out of PE. In the run up to this she has left her kit at home, only taken one shoe to lessons, has a tummy ache, her foot hurts - the teachers know her very well.' 'She doesn't like to move at all. She'd rather sit on her i-Pad or games console. It was about 10.30 pm and she was up and down the stairs, saying "please write me a note, I'll do anything, I'll make you a brew, I'll clean, I'll look after Kaylan". 'I kept saying, 'you are not having a note' and sent her back to bed. In the end when she came down again I shouted, "get me a pen and paper then". She added: "I said 'so what's wrong with you?" and she told me to write she that had a bad leg. She just didn't want to move and said it was too cold.' She said that upon agreeing to say that she had a sore leg, Olivia's face lit up before she tottered off to bed none the wiser. Played th part: Olivia, pictured with her little brother Kaylan, even walked into class with a limp so that teachers would believe her made-up injury . The mother added: 'She thought she was a winner. Wayne and I were literally sat there wetting ourselves writing this letter. 'Then I realised we'd need an envelope so she couldn't read it. It was 11pm and we were running around the house looking for an envelope. It was like we were the kids.' Ms McEvoy then took to Facebook to disclose to a few of her friends what she had done, posting a picture of the note before it went viral. She added: 'Everyone was saying I was terrible and couldn't believe I was going to send her with it. I can't believe how many people have shared it but I thought it was absolutely hilarious.' 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like.'

Olivia then discovered her PE kit had already been dropped off at reception after her scaffolder father Wayne, 34, had secretly given it to a classmate's mother who was taking them to school that day. Ms McEvoy said: 'Unfortunately she didn't have to do the extra laps but she actually really enjoyed PE and had a good lesson. But she wasn't speaking to me at all - not for the rest of the night. 'When she got picked up by Wayne she had a face like thunder. She didn't speak to him. It was parents evening that night and all the teachers thought it was hilarious. 'It was like an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, I call her Saffy because she is so clever and sensible. When she came home she said, "mum I do not know why you think it's so funny" which made it all the more amusing. 'We couldn't stop giggling when we wrote the letter. We had to search the house top to bottom for an envelope to keep the plan secret.' Ms McEvoy, who also has a three-year-old son called Kaylan, said she and her husband played the prank after Olivia came downstairs no fewer than a dozen times to nag her about writing the fake letter. Harsh lesson: Olivia's mother said: 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like' She said: 'She has tried every trick in the book to get out of PE. In the run up to this she has left her kit at home, only taken one shoe to lessons, has a tummy ache, her foot hurts - the teachers know her very well.' 'She doesn't like to move at all. She'd rather sit on her i-Pad or games console. It was about 10.30 pm and she was up and down the stairs, saying "please write me a note, I'll do anything, I'll make you a brew, I'll clean, I'll look after Kaylan". 'I kept saying, 'you are not having a note' and sent her back to bed. In the end when she came down again I shouted, "get me a pen and paper then". She added: "I said 'so what's wrong with you?" and she told me to write she that had a bad leg. She just didn't want to move and said it was too cold.' She said that upon agreeing to say that she had a sore leg, Olivia's face lit up before she tottered off to bed none the wiser. Played th part: Olivia, pictured with her little brother Kaylan, even walked into class with a limp so that teachers would believe her made-up injury . The mother added: 'She thought she was a winner. Wayne and I were literally sat there wetting ourselves writing this letter. 'Then I realised we'd need an envelope so she couldn't read it. It was 11pm and we were running around the house looking for an envelope. It was like we were the kids.' Ms McEvoy then took to Facebook to disclose to a few of her friends what she had done, posting a picture of the note before it went viral. She added: 'Everyone was saying I was terrible and couldn't believe I was going to send her with it. I can't believe how many people have shared it but I thought it was absolutely hilarious.'

After handing her teacher a 'sick note' to skip the day's PE lesson - Olivia McEvoy thought she had pulled off the perfect crime. But unbeknown to the 11-year-old, her mother Samantha had made no mention of her phony 'bad leg' as instructed, instead diagnosing her daughter with 'bone-idle-itus' and suggesting she be given 'a few extra laps'. The 27-year-old mother-of-two, of Cheshire, said Olivia was 'perfectly fit' to take part in the class and asked the teacher Mr Whittle to show her daughter the letter after reading it. Stitched up: The note (above) Olivia McEvoy's mother Samanatha wrote for her after she said she was 'too cold' to go to her PE lesson . Surprise: Ms McEvoy said her daughter Olivia had a 'severe case of bone-idle-itus' and suggested she did a few extra laps to warm her up . She posted a picture of the note on Facebook, which has since gone viral with more than 3,000 shares. It was accompanied with the comment: 'Well here you go Olivia here's your note for PE, it will be sealed & in an envelope ready for her to hand to the head in the morning.'

After handing her teacher a 'sick note' to skip the day's PE lesson - Olivia McEvoy thought she had pulled off the perfect crime. But unbeknown to the 11-year-old, her mother Samantha had made no mention of her phony 'bad leg' as instructed, instead diagnosing her daughter with 'bone-idle-itus' and suggesting she be given 'a few extra laps'. The 27-year-old mother-of-two, of Cheshire, said Olivia was 'perfectly fit' to take part in the class and asked the teacher Mr Whittle to show her daughter the letter after reading it. Stitched up: The note (above) Olivia McEvoy's mother Samanatha wrote for her after she said she was 'too cold' to go to her PE lesson . Surprise: Ms McEvoy said her daughter Olivia had a 'severe case of bone-idle-itus' and suggested she did a few extra laps to warm her up . She posted a picture of the note on Facebook, which has since gone viral with more than 3,000 shares. It was accompanied with the comment: 'Well here you go Olivia here's your note for PE, it will be sealed & in an envelope ready for her to hand to the head in the morning.' The Year six pupil unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg and even giggled to friends that she had got out of PE. The joke was revealed when the headmaster - who was in on the plan - read the letter and called Olivia into his study where he told her: 'There are things in life we don't enjoy but have to do them.' Foiled: The Year 6 pupil, pictured with her father Wayne and brother Kaylan (right), unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg . Olivia then discovered her PE kit had already been dropped off at reception after her scaffolder father Wayne, 34, had secretly given it to a classmate's mother who was taking them to school that day. Ms McEvoy said: 'Unfortunately she didn't have to do the extra laps but she actually really enjoyed PE and had a good lesson. But she wasn't speaking to me at all - not for the rest of the night. 'When she got picked up by Wayne she had a face like thunder. She didn't speak to him. It was parents evening that night and all the teachers thought it was hilarious. 'It was like an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, I call her Saffy because she is so clever and sensible. When she came home she said, "mum I do not know why you think it's so funny" which made it all the more amusing. 'We couldn't stop giggling when we wrote the letter. We had to search the house top to bottom for an envelope to keep the plan secret.' Ms McEvoy, who also has a three-year-old son called Kaylan, said she and her husband played the prank after Olivia came downstairs no fewer than a dozen times to nag her about writing the fake letter. Harsh lesson: Olivia's mother said: 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like' She said: 'She has tried every trick in the book to get out of PE. In the run up to this she has left her kit at home, only taken one shoe to lessons, has a tummy ache, her foot hurts - the teachers know her very well.' 'She doesn't like to move at all. She'd rather sit on her i-Pad or games console. It was about 10.30 pm and she was up and down the stairs, saying "please write me a note, I'll do anything, I'll make you a brew, I'll clean, I'll look after Kaylan". 'I kept saying, 'you are not having a note' and sent her back to bed. In the end when she came down again I shouted, "get me a pen and paper then". She added: "I said 'so what's wrong with you?" and she told me to write she that had a bad leg. She just didn't want to move and said it was too cold.' She said that upon agreeing to say that she had a sore leg, Olivia's face lit up before she tottered off to bed none the wiser. Played th part: Olivia, pictured with her little brother Kaylan, even walked into class with a limp so that teachers would believe her made-up injury . The mother added: 'She thought she was a winner. Wayne and I were literally sat there wetting ourselves writing this letter. 'Then I realised we'd need an envelope so she couldn't read it. It was 11pm and we were running around the house looking for an envelope. It was like we were the kids.' Ms McEvoy then took to Facebook to disclose to a few of her friends what she had done, posting a picture of the note before it went viral. She added: 'Everyone was saying I was terrible and couldn't believe I was going to send her with it. I can't believe how many people have shared it but I thought it was absolutely hilarious.' 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like.'

After handing her teacher a 'sick note' to skip the day's PE lesson - Olivia McEvoy thought she had pulled off the perfect crime. But unbeknown to the 11-year-old, her mother Samantha had made no mention of her phony 'bad leg' as instructed, instead diagnosing her daughter with 'bone-idle-itus' and suggesting she be given 'a few extra laps'. The 27-year-old mother-of-two, of Cheshire, said Olivia was 'perfectly fit' to take part in the class and asked the teacher Mr Whittle to show her daughter the letter after reading it. Stitched up: The note (above) Olivia McEvoy's mother Samanatha wrote for her after she said she was 'too cold' to go to her PE lesson . Surprise: Ms McEvoy said her daughter Olivia had a 'severe case of bone-idle-itus' and suggested she did a few extra laps to warm her up . She posted a picture of the note on Facebook, which has since gone viral with more than 3,000 shares. It was accompanied with the comment: 'Well here you go Olivia here's your note for PE, it will be sealed & in an envelope ready for her to hand to the head in the morning.' The Year six pupil unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg and even giggled to friends that she had got out of PE. The joke was revealed when the headmaster - who was in on the plan - read the letter and called Olivia into his study where he told her: 'There are things in life we don't enjoy but have to do them.' Foiled: The Year 6 pupil, pictured with her father Wayne and brother Kaylan (right), unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg . Olivia then discovered her PE kit had already been dropped off at reception after her scaffolder father Wayne, 34, had secretly given it to a classmate's mother who was taking them to school that day. Ms McEvoy said: 'Unfortunately she didn't have to do the extra laps but she actually really enjoyed PE and had a good lesson. But she wasn't speaking to me at all - not for the rest of the night. 'When she got picked up by Wayne she had a face like thunder. She didn't speak to him. It was parents evening that night and all the teachers thought it was hilarious. 'It was like an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, I call her Saffy because she is so clever and sensible. When she came home she said, "mum I do not know why you think it's so funny" which made it all the more amusing. 'We couldn't stop giggling when we wrote the letter. We had to search the house top to bottom for an envelope to keep the plan secret.' Ms McEvoy, who also has a three-year-old son called Kaylan, said she and her husband played the prank after Olivia came downstairs no fewer than a dozen times to nag her about writing the fake letter.

It was accompanied with the comment: 'Well here you go Olivia here's your note for PE, it will be sealed & in an envelope ready for her to hand to the head in the morning.' The Year six pupil unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg and even giggled to friends that she had got out of PE. The joke was revealed when the headmaster - who was in on the plan - read the letter and called Olivia into his study where he told her: 'There are things in life we don't enjoy but have to do them.' Foiled: The Year 6 pupil, pictured with her father Wayne and brother Kaylan (right), unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg . Olivia then discovered her PE kit had already been dropped off at reception after her scaffolder father Wayne, 34, had secretly given it to a classmate's mother who was taking them to school that day. Ms McEvoy said: 'Unfortunately she didn't have to do the extra laps but she actually really enjoyed PE and had a good lesson. But she wasn't speaking to me at all - not for the rest of the night. 'When she got picked up by Wayne she had a face like thunder. She didn't speak to him. It was parents evening that night and all the teachers thought it was hilarious. 'It was like an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, I call her Saffy because she is so clever and sensible. When she came home she said, "mum I do not know why you think it's so funny" which made it all the more amusing. 'We couldn't stop giggling when we wrote the letter. We had to search the house top to bottom for an envelope to keep the plan secret.' Ms McEvoy, who also has a three-year-old son called Kaylan, said she and her husband played the prank after Olivia came downstairs no fewer than a dozen times to nag her about writing the fake letter. Harsh lesson: Olivia's mother said: 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like' She said: 'She has tried every trick in the book to get out of PE. In the run up to this she has left her kit at home, only taken one shoe to lessons, has a tummy ache, her foot hurts - the teachers know her very well.' 'She doesn't like to move at all. She'd rather sit on her i-Pad or games console. It was about 10.30 pm and she was up and down the stairs, saying "please write me a note, I'll do anything, I'll make you a brew, I'll clean, I'll look after Kaylan". 'I kept saying, 'you are not having a note' and sent her back to bed. In the end when she came down again I shouted, "get me a pen and paper then". She added: "I said 'so what's wrong with you?" and she told me to write she that had a bad leg. She just didn't want to move and said it was too cold.' She said that upon agreeing to say that she had a sore leg, Olivia's face lit up before she tottered off to bed none the wiser. Played th part: Olivia, pictured with her little brother Kaylan, even walked into class with a limp so that teachers would believe her made-up injury . The mother added: 'She thought she was a winner. Wayne and I were literally sat there wetting ourselves writing this letter. 'Then I realised we'd need an envelope so she couldn't read it. It was 11pm and we were running around the house looking for an envelope. It was like we were the kids.' Ms McEvoy then took to Facebook to disclose to a few of her friends what she had done, posting a picture of the note before it went viral. She added: 'Everyone was saying I was terrible and couldn't believe I was going to send her with it. I can't believe how many people have shared it but I thought it was absolutely hilarious.' 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like.'

After handing her teacher a 'sick note' to skip the day's PE lesson - Olivia McEvoy thought she had pulled off the perfect crime. But unbeknown to the 11-year-old, her mother Samantha had made no mention of her phony 'bad leg' as instructed, instead diagnosing her daughter with 'bone-idle-itus' and suggesting she be given 'a few extra laps'. The 27-year-old mother-of-two, of Cheshire, said Olivia was 'perfectly fit' to take part in the class and asked the teacher Mr Whittle to show her daughter the letter after reading it. Stitched up: The note (above) Olivia McEvoy's mother Samanatha wrote for her after she said she was 'too cold' to go to her PE lesson . Surprise: Ms McEvoy said her daughter Olivia had a 'severe case of bone-idle-itus' and suggested she did a few extra laps to warm her up . She posted a picture of the note on Facebook, which has since gone viral with more than 3,000 shares. It was accompanied with the comment: 'Well here you go Olivia here's your note for PE, it will be sealed & in an envelope ready for her to hand to the head in the morning.' The Year six pupil unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg and even giggled to friends that she had got out of PE. The joke was revealed when the headmaster - who was in on the plan - read the letter and called Olivia into his study where he told her: 'There are things in life we don't enjoy but have to do them.' Foiled: The Year 6 pupil, pictured with her father Wayne and brother Kaylan (right), unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg . Olivia then discovered her PE kit had already been dropped off at reception after her scaffolder father Wayne, 34, had secretly given it to a classmate's mother who was taking them to school that day. Ms McEvoy said: 'Unfortunately she didn't have to do the extra laps but she actually really enjoyed PE and had a good lesson. But she wasn't speaking to me at all - not for the rest of the night. 'When she got picked up by Wayne she had a face like thunder. She didn't speak to him. It was parents evening that night and all the teachers thought it was hilarious. 'It was like an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, I call her Saffy because she is so clever and sensible. When she came home she said, "mum I do not know why you think it's so funny" which made it all the more amusing. 'We couldn't stop giggling when we wrote the letter. We had to search the house top to bottom for an envelope to keep the plan secret.' Ms McEvoy, who also has a three-year-old son called Kaylan, said she and her husband played the prank after Olivia came downstairs no fewer than a dozen times to nag her about writing the fake letter. Harsh lesson: Olivia's mother said: 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like' She said: 'She has tried every trick in the book to get out of PE. In the run up to this she has left her kit at home, only taken one shoe to lessons, has a tummy ache, her foot hurts - the teachers know her very well.' 'She doesn't like to move at all. She'd rather sit on her i-Pad or games console. It was about 10.30 pm and she was up and down the stairs, saying "please write me a note, I'll do anything, I'll make you a brew, I'll clean, I'll look after Kaylan". 'I kept saying, 'you are not having a note' and sent her back to bed. In the end when she came down again I shouted, "get me a pen and paper then". She added: "I said 'so what's wrong with you?" and she told me to write she that had a bad leg. She just didn't want to move and said it was too cold.' She said that upon agreeing to say that she had a sore leg, Olivia's face lit up before she tottered off to bed none the wiser. Played th part: Olivia, pictured with her little brother Kaylan, even walked into class with a limp so that teachers would believe her made-up injury . The mother added: 'She thought she was a winner. Wayne and I were literally sat there wetting ourselves writing this letter. 'Then I realised we'd need an envelope so she couldn't read it. It was 11pm and we were running around the house looking for an envelope. It was like we were the kids.'

We had to search the house top to bottom for an envelope to keep the plan secret.' Ms McEvoy, who also has a three-year-old son called Kaylan, said she and her husband played the prank after Olivia came downstairs no fewer than a dozen times to nag her about writing the fake letter. Harsh lesson: Olivia's mother said: 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like' She said: 'She has tried every trick in the book to get out of PE. In the run up to this she has left her kit at home, only taken one shoe to lessons, has a tummy ache, her foot hurts - the teachers know her very well.' 'She doesn't like to move at all. She'd rather sit on her i-Pad or games console. It was about 10.30 pm and she was up and down the stairs, saying "please write me a note, I'll do anything, I'll make you a brew, I'll clean, I'll look after Kaylan". 'I kept saying, 'you are not having a note' and sent her back to bed. In the end when she came down again I shouted, "get me a pen and paper then". She added: "I said 'so what's wrong with you?" and she told me to write she that had a bad leg. She just didn't want to move and said it was too cold.' She said that upon agreeing to say that she had a sore leg, Olivia's face lit up before she tottered off to bed none the wiser. Played th part: Olivia, pictured with her little brother Kaylan, even walked into class with a limp so that teachers would believe her made-up injury . The mother added: 'She thought she was a winner. Wayne and I were literally sat there wetting ourselves writing this letter. 'Then I realised we'd need an envelope so she couldn't read it. It was 11pm and we were running around the house looking for an envelope. It was like we were the kids.' Ms McEvoy then took to Facebook to disclose to a few of her friends what she had done, posting a picture of the note before it went viral. She added: 'Everyone was saying I was terrible and couldn't believe I was going to send her with it. I can't believe how many people have shared it but I thought it was absolutely hilarious.' 'There's no chance she'll be doing it again in a hurry. It's a lesson to her that she can't get out of things she doesn't like.'

After handing her teacher a 'sick note' to skip the day's PE lesson - Olivia McEvoy thought she had pulled off the perfect crime. But unbeknown to the 11-year-old, her mother Samantha had made no mention of her phony 'bad leg' as instructed, instead diagnosing her daughter with 'bone-idle-itus' and suggesting she be given 'a few extra laps'. The 27-year-old mother-of-two, of Cheshire, said Olivia was 'perfectly fit' to take part in the class and asked the teacher Mr Whittle to show her daughter the letter after reading it. Stitched up: The note (above) Olivia McEvoy's mother Samanatha wrote for her after she said she was 'too cold' to go to her PE lesson . Surprise: Ms McEvoy said her daughter Olivia had a 'severe case of bone-idle-itus' and suggested she did a few extra laps to warm her up . She posted a picture of the note on Facebook, which has since gone viral with more than 3,000 shares. It was accompanied with the comment: 'Well here you go Olivia here's your note for PE, it will be sealed & in an envelope ready for her to hand to the head in the morning.' The Year six pupil unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg and even giggled to friends that she had got out of PE. The joke was revealed when the headmaster - who was in on the plan - read the letter and called Olivia into his study where he told her: 'There are things in life we don't enjoy but have to do them.' Foiled: The Year 6 pupil, pictured with her father Wayne and brother Kaylan (right), unwittingly limped into class at St John's C of E Primary school in Sandbach, Cheshire, citing that she had a bad leg . Olivia then discovered her PE kit had already been dropped off at reception after her scaffolder father Wayne, 34, had secretly given it to a classmate's mother who was taking them to school that day. Ms McEvoy said: 'Unfortunately she didn't have to do the extra laps but she actually really enjoyed PE and had a good lesson. But she wasn't speaking to me at all - not for the rest of the night. 'When she got picked up by Wayne she had a face like thunder. She didn't speak to him. It was parents evening that night and all the teachers thought it was hilarious. 'It was like an episode of Absolutely Fabulous, I call her Saffy because she is so clever and sensible. When she came home she said, "mum I do not know why you think it's so funny" which made it all the more amusing. 'We couldn't stop giggling when we wrote the letter.

Web-savvy militants fighting for the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq could control as many as 90,000 Twitter accounts worldwide, allowing them to spread their sickening propaganda with ease. The terror group is able to 'exert an outsized impact on how the world perceives it' because of its shrewd use of social media and sheer number of online followers, terror experts have concluded. Recommendations in the report by the Washington-based Brookings Institute report include governments and social media companies working together to find new ways to tackle the problem of pro-ISIS accounts spreading horrific murder videos and images and jihadist rhetoric. Power: ISIS militants (pictured) are able to 'exert an outsized impact on how the world perceives it' because of its shrewd use of social media and sheer number of online followers, experts have concluded . The report, by Brookings academic JM Berger and technologist Jonathon Morgan, says: 'While we do not believe that any mainstream social media platform wishes to see its services used to further acts of horrific violence, we also suspect some would rather not be bothered with the challenge of crafting a broad and coherent response to the issue. 'While we can sympathise with the challenges and dilemmas such a response would entail, it is clear that social media companies do feel an obligation to respond to some social standards and illegal uses of their services. 'We are not aware of any major company that takes a hands-off approach to the use of its platform to promote child pornography or human trafficking - or, less dramatically, phishing, spam, fraud, and copyright violations. 'Extremism, while raising thornier issues, merits attention, especially when faced with a rising challenge of violent groups who manipulate platforms to reap the rewards of spreading images of their cruelty.' Showboating: ISIS terrorists use social media to boast of the organisation's victories and territorial gains . The study of ISIS-linked accounts between September and December estimated there were between 46,000 and 70,000 IS-supporting Twitter accounts, with the researchers believing that the true figure was towards the lower end of this scale but setting an absolute maximum at 90,000. It argues that the problem also applies to other social networks and extremist groups such as far-right organisations. Brookings' analysis was based on 'robust' data collected about 50,000 accounts, and partial information about a further 1.9 million. Only a small number of the accounts were able to have their locations identified, as most had this function switched off. But of those that could be located, the vast majority were in the Middle East and North Africa. Other were found in the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium and Australia, but these numbers were in single figures, the report found. They noted that platforms including Facebook and YouTube have already introduced changes aimed at tackling extremist material. Horror: The militants also use social media to share barbaric images of atrocities they commit, such as throwing men accused of being gay off the roof of high buildings . Twitter had started suspending accounts linked to ISIS by the time the research was started, but the authors said this created a new risk, arguing: 'While suspensions appear to have created obstacles to supporters joining Isis's social network, they also isolate Isis supporters online. 'This could increase the speed and intensity of radicalisation for those who do manage to enter the network, and hinder organic social pressures that could lead to deradicalisation. 'Further study is required to evaluate the unintended consequences of suspension campaigns and their attendant trade-offs. Fundamentally, tampering with social networks is a form of social engineering, and acknowledging this fact raises many new, difficult questions. 'Social media companies and the US government must work together to devise appropriate responses to extremism on social media. 'Although discussions of this issue often frame government intervention as an infringement on free speech, in reality, social media companies currently regulate speech on their platforms without oversight or disclosures of how suspensions are applied.'

Web-savvy militants fighting for the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq could control as many as 90,000 Twitter accounts worldwide, allowing them to spread their sickening propaganda with ease. The terror group is able to 'exert an outsized impact on how the world perceives it' because of its shrewd use of social media and sheer number of online followers, terror experts have concluded.

Web-savvy militants fighting for the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq could control as many as 90,000 Twitter accounts worldwide, allowing them to spread their sickening propaganda with ease. The terror group is able to 'exert an outsized impact on how the world perceives it' because of its shrewd use of social media and sheer number of online followers, terror experts have concluded. Recommendations in the report by the Washington-based Brookings Institute report include governments and social media companies working together to find new ways to tackle the problem of pro-ISIS accounts spreading horrific murder videos and images and jihadist rhetoric. Power: ISIS militants (pictured) are able to 'exert an outsized impact on how the world perceives it' because of its shrewd use of social media and sheer number of online followers, experts have concluded . The report, by Brookings academic JM Berger and technologist Jonathon Morgan, says: 'While we do not believe that any mainstream social media platform wishes to see its services used to further acts of horrific violence, we also suspect some would rather not be bothered with the challenge of crafting a broad and coherent response to the issue. 'While we can sympathise with the challenges and dilemmas such a response would entail, it is clear that social media companies do feel an obligation to respond to some social standards and illegal uses of their services. 'We are not aware of any major company that takes a hands-off approach to the use of its platform to promote child pornography or human trafficking - or, less dramatically, phishing, spam, fraud, and copyright violations. 'Extremism, while raising thornier issues, merits attention, especially when faced with a rising challenge of violent groups who manipulate platforms to reap the rewards of spreading images of their cruelty.' Showboating: ISIS terrorists use social media to boast of the organisation's victories and territorial gains . The study of ISIS-linked accounts between September and December estimated there were between 46,000 and 70,000 IS-supporting Twitter accounts, with the researchers believing that the true figure was towards the lower end of this scale but setting an absolute maximum at 90,000. It argues that the problem also applies to other social networks and extremist groups such as far-right organisations. Brookings' analysis was based on 'robust' data collected about 50,000 accounts, and partial information about a further 1.9 million. Only a small number of the accounts were able to have their locations identified, as most had this function switched off.

Twitter had started suspending accounts linked to ISIS by the time the research was started, but the authors said this created a new risk, arguing: 'While suspensions appear to have created obstacles to supporters joining Isis's social network, they also isolate Isis supporters online. 'This could increase the speed and intensity of radicalisation for those who do manage to enter the network, and hinder organic social pressures that could lead to deradicalisation. 'Further study is required to evaluate the unintended consequences of suspension campaigns and their attendant trade-offs. Fundamentally, tampering with social networks is a form of social engineering, and acknowledging this fact raises many new, difficult questions. 'Social media companies and the US government must work together to devise appropriate responses to extremism on social media.

(CNN)New Zealand are on course for a first ever World Cup title after a thrilling semifinal victory over South Africa, secured off the penultimate ball of the match. Chasing an adjusted target of 298 in just 43 overs after a rain interrupted the match at Eden Park, Grant Elliott hit a six right at the death to confirm victory and send the Auckland crowd into raptures. It is the first time New Zealand has ever reached a World Cup final, and it will play either Australia or India on Sunday. Te pair face each other in Sydney on Thursday. Not the first time in the sport, rain played a part. South Africa were motoring with the bat before a two-hour delay for poor weather. Though its total was escalated by the Duckworth/Lewis method -- used to calculate a revised target in the event of a rain delay -- New Zealand held firm thanks to Elliott. His 84 not out underpinned its innings and it was fitting that he delivered the final blow, smashing Dale Steyn for six off the second last ball to spark jubilant scenes at Eden Park. "I don't think this win is for myself or the team, but everyone here," Elliott said at the post-match presentation. "The supporters have been amazing. "I think we timed the pace of the innings to perfection. I wasn't as calm as I looked. When you have 45,000 fans screaming at you every ball... "It has been an absolute pleasure playing in front of this crowd. We have had a good run. It is the first final we have been in as New Zealand. "We are a very level team, we will approach it as any other game. Nothing going in my mind when I hit the six. I don't even know where the ball went." South Africa, who themselves have never reached the final, have been accused of choking in past installments of the one-day competition. But that indictment cannot be leveled at it after one of the most dramatic matches in World Cup history. It had recovered from 114-3 in the 27th over to 216-3 after 38 overs thanks to some fierce hitting from captain AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis, before the rain came. With the game stopped for two hours, it finally reached 281 off its reduced 43 overs, du Plessis top scoring with 82. New Zealand's target was upgraded via Duckworth/Lewis, a calculation that takes into account how many overs were left and how many wickets had been lost, to 298. Kiwi skipper Brendan McCullum got it off to a fast start with a 22-ball half-century but after he was dismissed it wobbled, and needed 139 from 22 overs. But Elliott was the steadying hand, judging his innings perfectly. And though he was dropped in the penultimate over, he struck the telling blow off Steyn to seal victory and inflict a fourth semifinal defeat on South Africa. "It was a great advertisement for cricket," McCullum said at the post-match presentation. "Everybody involved will remember this for the rest of their lives. "What a great innings from Grant. He came out of wilderness not long ago. The greatest time of our lives. We have enjoyed the experience. "I hope the crowds are all dreaming the way we are. Gee it would be nice to win it. We don't mind whom we face in the final. "They are both quality sides, but we know if we play the way we want to we are a good chance." Should Australia beat India at the Sydney Cricket Ground, then the joint hosts of the World Cup will meet in the final in Melbourne. "It was an amazing game of cricket," AB de Villiers said. "Probably the most electric crowd I have ever heard in my life. I guess the best team has come out on top. We gave it our best. No regrets. "We left it all out there. It is hurting. It is going to take a while to recover. The bigger picture is for the people back home. We play for them. I hope they can still be proud of us."

It had recovered from 114-3 in the 27th over to 216-3 after 38 overs thanks to some fierce hitting from captain AB de Villiers and Faf du Plessis, before the rain came. With the game stopped for two hours, it finally reached 281 off its reduced 43 overs, du Plessis top scoring with 82. New Zealand's target was upgraded via Duckworth/Lewis, a calculation that takes into account how many overs were left and how many wickets had been lost, to 298. Kiwi skipper Brendan McCullum got it off to a fast start with a 22-ball half-century but after he was dismissed it wobbled, and needed 139 from 22 overs. But Elliott was the steadying hand, judging his innings perfectly. And though he was dropped in the penultimate over, he struck the telling blow off Steyn to seal victory and inflict a fourth semifinal defeat on South Africa. "It was a great advertisement for cricket," McCullum said at the post-match presentation. "Everybody involved will remember this for the rest of their lives. "What a great innings from Grant. He came out of wilderness not long ago. The greatest time of our lives. We have enjoyed the experience. "I hope the crowds are all dreaming the way we are. Gee it would be nice to win it. We don't mind whom we face in the final. "They are both quality sides, but we know if we play the way we want to we are a good chance." Should Australia beat India at the Sydney Cricket Ground, then the joint hosts of the World Cup will meet in the final in Melbourne. "It was an amazing game of cricket," AB de Villiers said. "Probably the most electric crowd I have ever heard in my life. I guess the best team has come out on top. We gave it our best. No regrets. "We left it all out there. It is hurting. It is going to take a while to recover. The bigger picture is for the people back home. We play for them. I hope they can still be proud of us."

(CNN)New Zealand are on course for a first ever World Cup title after a thrilling semifinal victory over South Africa, secured off the penultimate ball of the match. Chasing an adjusted target of 298 in just 43 overs after a rain interrupted the match at Eden Park, Grant Elliott hit a six right at the death to confirm victory and send the Auckland crowd into raptures. It is the first time New Zealand has ever reached a World Cup final, and it will play either Australia or India on Sunday. Te pair face each other in Sydney on Thursday. Not the first time in the sport, rain played a part. South Africa were motoring with the bat before a two-hour delay for poor weather. Though its total was escalated by the Duckworth/Lewis method -- used to calculate a revised target in the event of a rain delay -- New Zealand held firm thanks to Elliott. His 84 not out underpinned its innings and it was fitting that he delivered the final blow, smashing Dale Steyn for six off the second last ball to spark jubilant scenes at Eden Park. "I don't think this win is for myself or the team, but everyone here," Elliott said at the post-match presentation. "The supporters have been amazing. "I think we timed the pace of the innings to perfection. I wasn't as calm as I looked. When you have 45,000 fans screaming at you every ball... "It has been an absolute pleasure playing in front of this crowd. We have had a good run. It is the first final we have been in as New Zealand. "We are a very level team, we will approach it as any other game. Nothing going in my mind when I hit the six. I don't even know where the ball went."
