SUSSEX SHARKS V DURHAM DYNAMOS - 30/06/04 |
|
The 2004 Summer Outing coincided with the forming of the Sussex Barmy Army. It was a fantastic day out, as the cricket followers among us joined together for the first Day-Night game of the season, shown live on Sky Sports. Made all the better by Sussex picking up their second Totesport League win of the season - the highlight of which was Matt Prior smashing his maiden century. Here are the days photos! |

This is undoubtabley the
picture of the day, the image captures great facial expressions of the
fielders poised for action - McCarthy admires his delivery, and Jones
and Lloyd prepare to field
|
|
 |
 |
| McCarthy dreams of being Mushtaq Ahmed, as he gets ready to send in another delivery | Chapman and Bert look forward to the second innings |
 |
 |
| And there's Tom and Jamie | Mohammed Akram sends in a delivery in Durham's first over |
 |
 |
| The Sky Cameraman gets ready to film the Barmy Army's flag, air horn and celebration as Sussex take wickets like candy from a baby | James Kirtley does some stretching in preparation... |
 |
 |
| ....to sign an autograph for Tom and his other fans | Jamie and Tom go to the bar to stock up on refreshments |
 |
 |
| Tom gets 2 beers. "Ones for Scott" he pleads innocently | Theres Jamie with his, and modelling his lovely hat purchased from the club shop |
 |
 |
| And there's Scott with his | 21 year old Peter Chapman has these juvenile sweets, which were actually very nutritious |
 |
 |
| Michael Holding presents man of the match Matt Prior with his award, and interviews the victorious captain Chris Adams after Sussex's fine victory | Scott and Tom toast the victory with yet another beer after the match, and Jamie and Bert look dead happy |
 |
 |
| There is also a Livingstone Road in Hove, as well as Burgess Hill. Scott and Tom have more beer, and Jamies had too much | Chappers is puzzled how the pranking of the Chap Mobile extends further than Burgess Hill, Perhaps his website has fans all over the world? |
 |
|
| Nope, its just the usual culprit | |
|
As we entered the Chap Mobile, 3
security guards came out and questioned us, believing we were breaking
in, which wasn't helped by Scott holding a glass of beer, Tom and Jamie
playing cricket with a ball of paper and Chapman shouting: "My arms
stuck" in an area near the stereo. However, when they realised that
both legends Chapman and McCarthy were there, they soon realised that
this was no break in.
Driving along the seafront, a man then pulled violently over to stop his automobile. Chapman complained to the passengers of the Chap Mobile, but McCarthy went one step further, shouting out 'You Pratt'. What he forgot was that the window was open, and the other driver was not happy, as he showed by doing a rather rude sign at the Chap Mobile The evening had been a fine success. Not only was it the first Summer Outing, but it also gave birth to the Sussex Barmy Army - soon to have a section on Mac Industries. A fine evening featuring beer, cricket and comedy. Does it get much better that that? |
