ROSE BOWL 2006 |
|
The first Sussex away match of the 2006 Liverpool Victoria County Championship saw Sussex travel to local rivals Hampshire, and their new Rose Bowl. Being men who enjoy traditional British pastimes such as cricket, McCarthy and Witham decided to travel to see the 3rd days play |
 |
 |
| Tom Witham has withdrawn some money as we arrive in Southampton | McCarthy had driven to Southampton in impeccable fashion |
 |
 |
| This sign told us all we needed to know | McCarthy is delighted to be inside this new arena |
 |
 |
| Witham is so overwhelmed he feels the need to offer a prayer | The Bowl shows off her newly erected floodlights |
 |
 |
| The Pavilion | This ground was scene of Englands Twenty20 win over Australia in the summer |
 |
 |
| Hampshire come onto the pitch, as they would look to finish Sussex second innings quickly | Sussex enter the fray |
 |
 |
| Hampshire bowler James Bruce pulls one of those poses that makes any fully functioning man erect | We ponder what sort of underwear he is wearing to make his buttocks appear as luscious as they do |
 |
 |
| Robin Martin-Jenkins makes 50 | The scoreboard tells us Sussex are in a pretty decent position |
 |
 |
| Witham looks forward to the Hampshire innings | This man has a wheelbarrow |
 |
 |
| We ponder why they are using this machine to roll the pitch, when Mushtaq Ahmeds erect penis could do a much more thorough job | Sussex come onto the field |
 |
 |
| Rana looking good as ever | This girl was selling raffle tickets, unfortunately she was not doing them by strips |
 |
 |
| Mushtaq whips one out | Lunch, and Witham takes the opportunity to explore the Bowl |
 |
 |
| McCarthy is happy, as we take advantage of poor security to infiltrate the pavilion and members area | Tom Witham is delighted to be surrounded by some loyal Hampshire fans |
 |
 |
| You cannot sit in the Bowl Pavilion and not have a good out feel | The Umpires come onto this fine arena |
 |
 |
| This mans nose was amusing, as not only was it a rather odd shape but it was a vibrant red colour | The Sussex team await to enter the arena |
 |
 |
| Here come the Hampshire batsman | The Umpire feels this mans balls |
 |
 |
| Mushtaq goes off for a toilet break, probably to throw one out | This Hampshire member was shocked and appalled when McCarthy complained of the Northern weather conditions in Southampton |
 |
 |
| This man was an incredible size | The game continues, and a superb display of bowling from Mushtaq would secure victory for Sussex with a day to spare |
