Each year Eric plays in the parents v children cricket match at his kids school. Each year he is bowled first ball by the kiddie with the thick glasses while his perfect next door neighbour, Ray Perfect, makes a hundred then deliberately gives away his wicket. When Brian and Claire produce a collage at school entitled "The Shame", Eric is shocked at the damage his repeated failure is inflicting on his kids. He resolves to make one last stab at getting off the mark.
