Both men take a quick interest in Sloane, Dadda because he recognizes the youth as a wanted murderer, Ed because he likes manly young fellows -preferably draped in leather goods. Kath and Ed engage in a game of sexual cricket, with Sloane as the wicket. As is always the case with such games, it is the bystander who suffers.

With stumps set up for added authenticity, Trueman sent one egg after another whizzing down the cricket pitch at 90 m.p.h. Remarkably, only a few broke.
