Ford Australia is preparing for a summer of sponsored cricket with a Backyard Cricket war between four players from the Australian cricket team. The TV campaign will connect with material on the radio, on cricket grounds over the summer, and online at www.fordbsc.com.au where the Tonk A Pom digital game is being revived. Matthew Hayden, Michael Clarke, Mike Hussey and Andrew Symonds establish the rules of war…

I’m 8 and i reckon that husseys heroes suck and i like roys rebels. i reckon that the adds are heaps cool and roy and pup are right, hus and haydos keep changing the rules.
I’m 10 and I play for Queanbeyan and i’ve only hit one six.I would like to be on the Roys Rebals team.So Roy and Pup can teach me how to hit more sixes.I also rekon my backyard rules will make Haydos and Huss quiver and they will want to take there bat ball and go home.
I’ll shout the Backyard Bucket for lunch!
Hey, I’m 14 and from Townsville and have played rep cricket for North Queensland and have been and emerging Player and I’d love to be one of Husseys Heroes cause i think hussey and Hayden are legends and they would kick Roy and Pups ass. And Plus my backyard is awesome for barckyard cricket and i would shout a awesome kfc bucket lunch.
I’m 11, and my brother and I play cricket for Thomson. I play with him in the backyard, but I’m to good for him and I need a challenge. I think if I had Roy and Pup on my team, then haydos and hussy would’nt stand a chance!
I’m 8 and I love cricket. I play under 11s. I alway’s play with my brother. I think with Roy and Pup on my team we can kill Haydos and Hussey.
i play milo cricket. and my brothers play with me.and they help me bat and bowl.and they also sometimes get me out by the stumps and catches when i am batting.could you come and play cricket at my house please.i would like to play with roy as he has ropes on his hair. and dont get me out .
Hi I’m 13 and I absolutely love cricket. I think that I am more of a bowler than a batter. On the Add where the girl says for pup to be afraid i think she is wrong Hussey’s Heroes should be the ones afraid. I absolutely adore KFC and I love the Fillers that they make. I could bring some. Forgot to say this I also love the Bakyard Buckets.
Hi I’m 11. I am a BIG cricket fan. I Love Roy and Pup. I love there hair. There Great Cricket players. I don’t like Hussey and Haydos, they keep changing the rules. and fake tan doesn’t rub off Haydos. I love KFC. I would Bring Roys Rebels Fillers and a Backyard Bucket.

hi im 11 i love cricket i play reps for north shore and if i was on roys team we would kick ass and the fillers are the best i would die for one right now.
Hi,
I reckon backyard cricket is the best! You can get together with your mates and have a hit. ( Without worrying about the rules that Husseys heros make up all the time).I play for an U11′s team, even though I’m twelve, and am one of only two girls. Me and my team love to kid around while we arent batting with a little mini game. Then when its our time to field, we play imaginary cricket out on the pitch while we wait for the batters!. It’s so fun!! Cricket with ya mates is the best you can get!!
hi my name is christian i like both teams but i would like to be on roys rebles becuase i can take a chnce but can they i will shout the winning team lunch at our backery
by christian
im 16 and i play me sister…shes 14 and she doesnt even know wat stumps r.. so with hussey n haydos onmy team we could destroy pup n roy n my sis just how aussies done it for 16 tests in a row!!!!
Hi im a 37 dad of five my oldest daughter loves & plays cricket my oldest boy loves it to but doesn’t play yet. I think if pup & roy were on his team & hussey & haydos were on my daughters team it would make for one great game of cricket plus get to kids even more in love with the game of cricket. Forward this on be have of two future Australian cricketers
yo i’m 10 and i love cricket i think roys rebles are da best. EVER.
I AM 14 and i love cricket I play for my local club and North east Knights.(im a girl). I think Roys Rebels are better because they are more versatile. Clarkey and Roy can bat, bowl and field which gives them the edge over huss and haydos.
If they were to come to my house i would shout them some filler.

My three highest scores in Backyard Cricket are 238, 156 and 152
i am aiming to beat my own Backyard Cricket World Record score of 238 and to score a 300*
I am 10 years of age. I have decided to not play cricket this year as has my brother Donovan and sister Maible.
All three of us watch dad play every saturday afternoon and we are busting to play again next summer. In the meantime we are always in the backyard playing, scoring centuries and taking “five fors”.
The yard is ideal for a Roy’s Rebels V Hussey’s Hero’s test match. Hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers
Darby
