SUSSEX V WARWICKSHIRE - 25/07/06 |
|
Following their superb one day form so far in reaching the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy final, Sussex would be looking to take that cricket into the Pro 40 League. Opening their home campaign against Warwickshire under lights and live on the Sky TV cameras, it was sure to be another good game - especially with the team now ably supported by the Car Horn! |
 |
 |
| Things could get sticky at the toss, as James Kirtley won it and elected to bat | The big screen was in place to show the highlights |
 |
 |
| Emily Benyon, Scott McCarthy, Neil Kane and Mark Potter look forward to the action | Peter Chapman looking practically edible on the outfield |
 |
 |
| Scott McCarthy gives his groin an early feel | The Warwickshire Bears prepare for the game |
 |
 |
| Richard Montgomerie and Matt Prior come out to open the batting | McCarthys 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 |
 |
 |
| McCarthy shows off the car horn, and one of four bottles of Weston's Organic Cider, weighing in at 8.4% | Here was Carter of the Bears |
 |
 |
| Sophisticated as ever, McCarthy drinks from this goblet | Oli is soon joined by Mark Funnell and John Hewitt for the evenings event |
 |
 |
| Hewitt decides to brave the spinning 'Gerbils wheel' | Chapman is soon demanding he is pun upside down, and the controller duly obliges |
 |
 |
| Ex-Sussex player Tim Ambrose was looking good behind the wicket | Ticking along nicely, with Chris Nash and Murray Goodwin |
 |
 |
| Robin Martin-Jenkins and Yasir Arafat end the Sussex innings | McCarthy contemplates cracking open a Fanta |
 |
 |
| Chapman molests Sid the Shark | And Funnell is at it yet again |
 |
 |
| The announcer Graeme looks on | Sussex wrack up a decent 238 at the end of their innings |
 |
 |
| Bob Ticehurst is here! | Funnell and a pretty unhappy Kev 'the Ape' Ticehurst |
