Description
CRICKET KINGS is a little bit about cricket but it's about a lot more as well.
Chris Andersen loves cricket. He may not be a legend like Waugh or Bradman but in the Yarraville West Fourths, Chris Andersen is king. He is the captain, the coach, the manager and, thankfully, a player. They are getting hard to find ... players.
Every Saturday Chris ropes together a motley team of men (and a few boys) to turn up in their cricket whites. Everyone has a different reason for being there to hear the music from a nearby house, to block out the memories of another place, to have fun, or just to have a go.
On the Cec Bull Memorial Oval on a blisteringly hot Saturday these men will play a game. From a nearby house, a bride will watch and remember growing up in the family home listening to the sounds of cricket. Rick Springfield and Kevin Bacon will act as inspiration, and as the wickets fall and the ball is bowled, everyone will learn more about themselves and each other than they did at the start of the day.
