N51 : Fifty-first lesson S00-TITLE : Hants v. Lancs S01 : The two teams are coming out onto the pitch for this gripping match between the top two county sides. S02 : The captains are tossing to decide who will bat and who will bowl, and the umpire is picking up the coin. S03 : It's going to be a great game. Even the weather's picking up. S04 : Murray steps up to the wicket, takes the first ball. And he's out! S05 : They'll certainly have to step up the pace if they want to win this match, Jim. S06 : Murray goes back into the pavilion and out comes the next player, the young superstar Sean O'Hagen. S07 : The captain's obviously gone back on his word: he said that O'Hagen wouldn't be playing today. S08 : The bowler's put his sweater down on the pitch: he's obviously getting ready for some fast action. S09 : He's played very badly in the last three matches. I'm sure you can put it down to a lack of experience. S10 : O'Hagen's signalling to the umpire. I think he wants someone to put up a sightscreen at the pavilion end. S11 : I know the guy's a brilliant player, but he's so demanding. I wonder why the umpires put up with it. S12 : Here comes Kamram. He's going around the wicket... and he bowls O'Hagen out for a duck. S13 : The coach must take the blame for this disappointing performance: there's certainly enough to go around. S14 : Too right, but all the players in the team really look up to him, so no one dares criticise him. S15 : Meanwhile, look up there at that big black cloud! It's starting to rain. On go the covers. (Twenty minutes later.) S16 : The groundsmen are pulling off the covers and play can resume. But it looks as if Hampshire are in dire trouble. S17 : You never know, they might be able to pull off a miracle. They've done it before. S18 : You're dead right. Anyway, it's another hour or so before they go in for tea. Who do you reckon will win? S19 : You know I don't go in for forecasts. But given the way the match is going, I'd put my money on Lancashire. T00-TRANSLATE : Exercise: Translate T01 : A typical British summer: down comes the rain and up go the umbrellas! T02 : He's trying for the world record. Do you think he can pull it off? T03 : How much do you reckon those golf clubs cost? T04 : We've got nowhere to go. Could you put us up for a few days? T05 : You promised! You can't go back on your word now.
