It’s early evening in Grange Gardens, a time and place of tranquility for those unwinding after a long day. If only for a moment, the dominant sounds are birds singing, trees rustling in the breeze and the faint, excited chatter of those using the playground.
Suddenly, the peace is disturbed. First, it's by the unmistakable thud of rubber on plastic and then by a unanimous roar of approval as a tennis ball soars out of the grounds of the newly opened pavilion at one end of the park.
It has been dispatched by Australian cricketer Marnus Labuschagne, who also happens to be the number one test batsman in the world. However, this is a fact that doesn’t seem to faze the huddle of schoolchildren lining up on the pavilion lawn to try and bowl him out.
