It's the school holidays and brothers Freddie and Titch are being led astray by a group of kids up to no good. When they meet the 'Crickodile', they discover a sport that changes the summer and changes their lives forever. With an absent father and a busy mother, boredom and anti-social behaviour are threatening to land the boys in big trouble. A chance trip to the zoo introduces them to a crocodile from India on a mission to introduce children everywhere to the wonderful game of cricket. Now under a better influence, Freddie and Titch develop a newfound confidence and for the first time in their lives find themselves part of a team. However, when their football-loving dad turns up and Titch is told he has a serious health problem - it's not just the rain that stops play.
