It’s the start of a new season for professional women’s cricket team the Southern Scorpions.
Batter Ellie, 32, is returning to the game after a long injury, determined to regain her form in the twilight of her career. The dream of playing a Test Match at Lord’s will only happen if she can make the England squad again.
Ardent fan Adam, 34, an artist and photographer, has followed Ellie and the team through highs and lows. He’s drawn to her talent, athleticism and public persona—but couldn’t imagine being anything more to her than a face in the crowd.
When events on and off the pitch bring Ellie and Adam together, an easy, open friendship blossoms. It also drives their careers upwards.
Yet, with romance in the air, Ellie loses focus on her game, jeopardising her dream.
What’s more important for them both—love, or cricket?
