I shall set you the scene. You were there, you will be able to conjour up the ambience.
Matt Prior has just come to the crease. Sussex need him to consolidate, stick around and then play an innings worthy of an England player: he takes a monumental swipe at his second ball after dancing down the wicket, and almost gets run out. Several Sussex fans in the seats behind me all independently shout "it's not a test match."
Then, during Sussex's fielding Prior misses a stumping and is shown on the big screen laughing about it. There are choice words from the Sussex fans around which were unsuitable for the four year old sitting near us.
Sadly, I didn't catch all of the words to the song, laughing hysterically as I was. However it contained the line "He's the England Keeper and we don't know why".
There was so much heckling I should tell you it all....
