Synopsis[]
As a peace-loving Ultronian, George knows nothing of the psychology of competition. So when Piers asks George to join his cricket team, George hasn't a clue what he's in for. After a crash course on the rules of cricket from Janet, George takes the field and decimates his own team with his over-zealous fielding, then surprises everyone by scoring a near-impossible 24 runs off the last 4 balls. Finally George knows the sweet taste of victory and becomes horribly attracted to it, beating Piers at everything from tennis to swimming!
