When the Vanuatu players head to the crease against Jersey on Sunday in World Cricket League Division Four, they'll be armed with bats that have been specially restored for them at a workshop in Melbourne.

As Richard Ewart reports, carpenter Pete Duffy is also a long time club cricketer and an expert at getting new life out of old bats, and over the last 12 months he's become equipment supplier-in-chief for both the Vanuatu men's and women's teams.
