"And Tegan?" Erimen prompted before the Doctor could get into his stride. "Where is she?"

"Hmm? Oh, Tegan? She's in the ground somewhere." He allowed himself a slight smirk. "She's Austrialian, so she's not looking forward to the end of the match." He wafted a hand. "Try third man."

"Wasn't that a movie?" Peri asked.

"A second slip seems kind of careless after the first one." Peri smiled innocently.

"There's a trench in the field? Isn't that dangerous?"

"Silly Point," the Doctor grated.

"That's like the Ministry of Silly Walks but with pointing."

The Doctor sucked in a deep breath and bit off an annoyed reply.

"Where is this fielding man we must stop Tegan from distracting?" Erimem interrupted.

The Doctor scanned the field and pointed to a tall man with fair, curly hair standing alone on the edge of the playing field. "Well, at the moment he's at quite a fine deep backwards square leg."
