Meet Moof, Womble, Castaway, Churchyard and One Dad, a dog called
Six Bits and a van known as the Bog Roll Express.Every summer
weekend, the parks of Australia turn themselves over to countless
thousands of club cricket matches. One of those clubs is the
Yarras.This is the inside story of their most memorable season,
told by the vice-president, chairman of selectors, newsletter
editor, trivia-night quizmaster, karaoke impresario and club
greyhound shareholder, Gideon Haigh.The Vincibles is about playing
for love, winning with grace, losing with humour, valuing your
community, and other anachronistic notions. It features 69 ducks
and 257 dropped catches.(Not that we're counting.)The spirit of
cricket isn't dead. It's just upped and moved to the suburbs.
