While watching the cricket against Greenbury Usha tells Joy she just needs to be herself at her interview tomorrow for the kitchen job at The Bull and she’ll be fine. On the field Henry is last man out, while Brad can’t stop sneezing. As the players come in for tea Clarrie appears upset when Helen asks how her dinner lady job is going. Henry tells Helen he saw some older kids at school being rude to Clarrie when she told them to sit down, but didn’t intervene because it would have made things worse. When Henry goes Clarrie tells Helen how humiliating the incident was. She always thought she was good at supervising kids, but this generation don’t have any respect. After the match Henry tells Clarrie that the only way to deal with those kids is to be firm and not take any nonsense. Clarrie is doubtful she can do that, but Henry reminds her what she was like at Bridge Farm, never a passenger. Do the same at school and she’ll be fine. Brad tells Usha and Joy he hasn’t got hay fever, but Tracy’s accused him of getting the Ambridge score wrong. The Greenbury scorer, Terence, agrees with Brad’s tally, but both Usha and Joy remember a second four hit by Will while Brad left the score box to blow his nose and Terence took over. Later, Terence claims he missed the extra four by mistake and has rectified it. But the extra runs don’t alter the fact that Ambridge lost and Brad has hay fever!
