Forget the Ashes debacle Australia’s next great cricketing moment will be at the Peanut Farm in St Kilda on Saturday March the 5th.
After a four year hiatus the legendary Vineyard v Veg Out celebrity charity cricket match is back.
The Vineyward wine bar and the Veg Out community garden are two Melbourne landmarks and actors, comedians and sports stars will be divided into teams to represent these two great institutions.
Funny Guys Dave Hughes, Russell Gilbert and Greg Fleet have been big contributors in past games. Fleety actually hit the winning runs one year and still isn’t sure how he did it.
Many of your favorite local comedians will also be jumping into the back of the central commentary ute for a stint offering special comments on the skills of the once a year players.
The Vineyard team were triumphant when the match was last held and amongst the winning line-up were Wayne Carey, Joel Edgerton, Hellier, Hughes and Mr Wolf Creek himself, Johnny Jarratt.
Crowds of more than five thousand have not been uncommon in the past so make sure if you’re in the area you drop in for lots of beers, laughs and possibly a couple of streakers.
All it will cost you is a gold coin donation. More news as it comes to hand in the lead up to the big game. There’s a couple of clips here to wet your appetite.
