Pitch perfect

95365_02 Merv Hughs talks to his fast bowler.

CRICKET legends and Victoria Police members threw on their cricket whites last week in the annual Twentieth Man Fund Cops versus Kids match at Maribyrnong’s Merv Hughes Oval. A team of street kids led by cricket legend Merv Hughes (pictured), and Rodney Hogg, went up against a Victorian Police 11 led by Deputy Commissioner Graham Ashton. “The cricket match provides a unique opportunity for young people from the western region to see the police in a different light, and it works to break down barriers, providing both the police, and the kids, with a greater respect for each other,” Les Twentyman said. 95365 Picture: JOE MASTROIANNI
