Eleven-year-old David Wiseman is mad about cricket but no good at it. He has the entire kit but none of the skill, and he's a laughingstock at school. So when a Jamaican family moves in next door and builds a cricket net in the back garden, David is in seventh heaven. But this is 1960s Britain, and when the neighbours start to make life difficult for the new arrivals, David's family is caught in the middle, and he has to choose between fitting in and standing up for the new friends who have turned his world upside-down. 　　译文(2): 11岁的大卫 · 怀斯曼(DavidWiseman)对板球很着迷，但是他并不擅长板球。他有全套装备，但没有一项技能，他是学校的笑柄。因此，当一个牙买加家庭搬到隔壁，在后花园里建起一个板球网时，大卫就像在第七天堂。但这是20世纪60年代的英国，当邻居们开始让新来者的生活变得艰难时，大卫的家庭陷入了两难境地，他不得不在融入和支持那些把他的世界搞得天翻地覆的新朋友之间做出选择。
