With his younger brother chirpsing the other girl at hand, Roachy decides to call it a night at put everyone to bed. However, after bigging up a nice, spacious barn for all to sleep in, the boys were met with what could only be descried as a ‘Syrian refugee style garage’. Not impressed. Roach then departs and sleeps inside. Shit host.
Murphy – attending a trial and facing Nish in the nets. Nish, still a bit nervous from the 6×6’s incident, floats one up to Murphy. The ball does not ever look like it will pitch and Murphy’s eyes light up. He picks his bat up, picks his spot in the trees, and completely misses the ball. Bowled. Cya.
Raj – After chirpsing a girl for the majority of a Kasbah night out, Raj finally decides to make his move. He goes in for the kill and asks, “wanna go back to mine? Actually before you answer, how old are you?” Girl replies “17”. Chop? Unconfirmed although a sly grin gives a lot away.
