Captains’ Clash (Big Bash League #2)

Description

Like a Big Bash League match, this junior fiction series is explosive, entertaining and action-packed! Bronsen Park is the best cricket ground in the world - well at least according to Fletcher and Jana. They have even formed a special Bronsen Park Cricket Club with their friends. The only drawback is Mrs Grumblehoofer, the park curator, who is ready to ban the game the moment the ball gets hit into the wrong area. Luckily for Mrs Grumblehoofer, the gang are taking a night off from the park and going to watch a WBBL and BBL double-header between the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder. There is half-time entertainment too - a very impressive grammar school cricket team. The following day, the kids are even more excited. It's going to be their biggest ever game at the park - a full T20 match. But when they arrive, their space is already taken ...by the grammar school team from last night! Will Fletcher and Jana reach an agreement with the other team and also find a way to get Mrs Grumblehoofer onside?
