Blackball

Blackball follows Cliff Starkey, a talented but rebellious young lawn bowls player (Paul Kaye), as he becomes regional champion and is subsequently banned for 15 years after writing an expletive on an opponent's scorecard. Sports agent Rick Schwartz (Vince Vaughn) helps him regain his popularity, leading to a romance with Kerry Speight (Alice Evans), Ray Speight's daughter, which ultimately leads to the two players being selected to take on Australia in "The Ashes." With the help of his friend Trevor (Johnny Vegas) and grandfather Mutley (Bernard Cribbins), Cliff must overcome their differences to work together and defeat the Australian team.
