Well, as far as I know, this is based on the British show Ashes to Ashes. But I'm rather sure it does encompass a wide range of things, even maybe the Ashes series.
So this guy was not meant to be here? Some out of place character maybe?
Did you even get a character? Because that would indicate very strongly that it's cricket or TV. I've got a cricketer so you are confused somewhere sir.
