'Meet Little Davey Warner. He lives in Sandhill Flats with his mum and dad and his brother Steve – and his stinky dog Max. Davey and his school mates –even Max – are MAD for cricket. All they want to do is play … but there’s always something getting in their way.

'In this fourth book in the series, little Davey Warner bets his friend Sunil half his birthday money-bought lollies that he can hit six sixes in the upcoming battle against their club rivals, Shimmer Bay, for the No 1 spot on the ladder.

'But when he forgets to hand in his PE assignment on lawn bowls (the favourite sport of Mr Mudge, their Year Six teacher), Davey is banned from playing cricket until it’s done.
