SUSSEX SHARKS V SURREY LIONS - 29/06/05 |
|
The first full Barmy Army game of the season couldn't get any bigger. Surrey are undoubtedly the best Twenty20 team in the country, and the rivalry between them and Sussex goes back a long way. Boasting some of the worlds star players, the Lions are easily the Man United of the cricket world. But having fallen badly in recent years, their only hope of a trophy is realistically the Twenty20 cup. Could the Barmy Army cheer Sussex onto victory against the old enemy in a rain effected game, live on sky |
 |
 |
| The sky camera were all set to go at Hove | The food outlets, but unfortunately there was no jacket potatoes on offer |
 |
 |
| The beer was on offer though! | The RAF dog unit did an entertaining display before the game |
 |
 |
| Dan Collin was at his first ever cricket match, along with Barmy Army regular Robert Jones | McCarthy looks forward to the game in prospect |
 |
 |
| Walmsley and Sat had these dashing 118 headbands and moustaches on | These private school children had Scott McCarthy angered, much is his dislike of the middle classes |
 |
 |
| Dan and Jones prepare for the game | This helicopter was delivering commentator Charles Coalville and Sussex captain Chris Adams |
 |
 |
| It touches down on the pitch | McCarthy and Ape look forward to the game |
 |
 |
| Ape eats his way through a burger | Harbajan Singh, the Turbinator, warms up for the game |
 |
 |
| These clouds don't look too promising | Ali and Tommy Mac were in attendance at the game. Tom looks happy as ever |
 |
 |
| The cameras were ready to roll | Oli Wright has a pre-match discussion with McCarthy and Ape |
 |
 |
| The now legendary McCarthy Industries timepiece shows us it was mid-evening when the floodlights came on | And here comes the rain! |
 |
 |
| These fans cleverly use chairs to keep themselves dry | McCarthy and Strike shelter under an umbrella |
|
|
 |
| Jones uses the Jonesped helmet to keep dry | As the rain cleared, a parachute display took place |
 |
 |
| Down they come | The slippery outfield saw many of them fall over on landing - and as they did it was greeted by great cheers |
 |
 |
| McCarthy looks forward to the start of the second innings | Dan is also excited, obviously enjoying his first cricket game |
 |
 |
| The legendary Bob Ticehurst looks forward to the Surrey reply | And Ali and Tommy Mac were obviously disappointed at the end, after a defeat |
