The Ashes...but not as you know it

The Reedybrook Ashes, the bush cricket tournament to end all bush cricket tournaments, is on this weekend and should be a beauty. Greenvale's Tropical Cowboys, led by James and Tim Atkinson, have been in training and our spies tell us they are in top form and going all out to topple premiers the Gum Flat team led by cricketing legend George 'Killer' Harriman. They reckon George has been getting in shape by belting basalt rocks around the flat with an ironbark stick. This is a camp-out weekend and it's been down to three degrees up there in the basalt. It'll be cold, so take the windbreak. She'll enjoy the outing.
