The Jolly Grog Pub Cricket Team: Jolly Grog Chronicles Volume 1

By Russell Barker

The Jolly Grog Pub Cricket Team A short story by Russell Barker No kits. No clue. One dog. And a mission to take down the poshest cricket club in the Midlands. When veteran grumbler Henry and lovable rogue Bert decide modern cricket's gone soft, they hatch a plan: form a pub team from whoever's propping up the bar. What follows is a glorious mess involving a fruit machine whisperer, a man called Tank (don't ask), a quietly blooming romance, and a Jack Russell with a taste for chaos. It's village cricket like you've never seen it -- badly organised, wildly inappropriate, and utterly heartwarming. Think The Full Monty with stumps, or Ted Lasso on sausage rolls. A short story packed with big laughs, unexpected moments, and just enough cricket to get away with it. Perfect for fans of found family, underdog glory, and beer-fuelled brilliance. If this doesn't make it to screen, it will be a tragedy.
