budget meant he was supplying his own food of cheese and biscuits |
 |
 |
| Potter
and Oli Wright have their hopes up for a Sussex win |
Kane
has his traditional lager of Fosters |
 |
 |
| While
Emily didn't want to break with tradition either, as she bought her
Puzzler book |
Chapman
did disappoint though, replacing the nutritional jelly sweets with Fruit
Pastilles |
 |
 |

shows off the car horn, and one of four bottles of Weston's Organic

as ever, McCarthy drinks from this goblet |

decides to brave the spinning 'Gerbils wheel' |

 |
 |
| And
that is it - victory for Sussex! |
McCarthy
and Kane have a fight as victory is secured |
 |
 |
| They
soon make up though |
Unfortunately,
McCarthys shorts are too bug and he is so ruined they keep falling down
- even on the outfield. Emily sorts out the situation though |
 |
 |
| Emily
and Chapman are happy |
And
McCarthy and Kane toast another victory for the Sussex Sharks |
