He's been batting for his local cricket club for decades — and he's a statistical miracle. He's overweight, he makes very few runs, he's not pretty to watch, but he's never been dismissed. When local schoolgirl Cassie Midwinter discovers this feat, she decides to take the matter further. The remarkable story finds its way into the hands of Donna Garrett, a female sports columnist who's forced to write under a male pseudonym to be taken seriously. That summer, the West Indies are thrashing Australia, and the Australian people's love of cricket has never been lower.
