She Wore A Wreath Of Yellow Roses.

But I don't sing.

Oh, it was only a joke.

Do you think so?

Just do your best, old boy.

No-one can do more than that.

- Ma'am. - Morning.

- Morning.

Ladies.

Hall team. You ready, chaps? Shall we?

Time to meet the enemy.

Good luck.

- Yes, good luck.

- Good game.

Mr Burgess, this is Leo

Colston, our twelfth man.

Master Colston and I

already know each other.

He comes to slide down my strawstack.

Ah, yes, of course, he told us.

But you should make him

run errands for you.

He's a wizard at that.

I'm sure he's a very

useful young gentleman.

Come on, lads, let's have 'em.

OK, gents.

Come on, lads.

Yes. Well played.

Ah, splendid!

Come on.

Take a single.

Come on, lads, look lively.

Well done.

- Bad luck.

- Good luck.

Good shot, sir. Well played.

Come on!

Sorry. Lad's a bit wild.

Oh, don't worry in the

least. All's fair, and so on.

Well done.

Now, come on, chaps.

- Right, shall we?

- Yep.

Come on, Ted!

Show them what you're made of, Ted.

Come on, Ted.

Everything depends on getting

Ted Burgess before he's set.

Burgess is just a hitter.

That's it, Ted.

Show them how it's done.

Come on, chaps. That's it.

You're a good boy, Ted.

Isn't it exciting?

You don't want them to win, do you?

Come on, Ted.

If we don't get him out soon,

we'll lose. That is unthinkable.

Can you carry on, old man?

No.

- One more.

- Leo.

Good luck, Leo.

Good luck, Leo.

I'm going to put you at square leg.

Now, you won't have much to do,

but sometimes he hooks one.

Just there.

Well done.

- Well done, Leo.

- You got him.

Well done, old man.

We did it!

Sorry, Ted.

It was a damn good catch.

Well done, Ted.

Thank you very much. You

played extraordinarily well.

Have you tried that ale?

I'm sorry, madam, but the

accompanist is feeling a bit seedy.

There's no-one to play the piano.

Well, Marian can play it.

Marian! Marian, you'll

play the piano, won't you?

Now, who'll start us off?

Come on, Ted! Give us a song.

Oh, no, no, no.

Go on, Ted! Get up there, Ted!

Don't disappoint us, Ted.

All right.

Go on, lad. You surprise us.

Er...

My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose.

My love is like a red, red rose

That's newly sprung in June

My love is like a melody

That's sweetly played in tune

And fair art though My bonnie lass

So deep in love am I

And I will love you still My dear

Till the sea's gone dry.

- Good job, Ted.

- Not bad, boy.

Not bad.

Don't they make a lovely couple!

Done us proud, Ted. Well done.

Well, what about our twelfth

man? Can't he give us something?

- Come on, Leo.

- Well done, Leo.

Go on, then, Master Colston.

Well done, young man, up you go.
