The MacRob is a very challenging comp, not just because of the high level of skill but because of the match length.
There are 21 individual/ doubles games which are the best of 3, no time limit!
Considering the tournament was created by McPherson MacRobertson, the 19th century Sydney confectioner who invented the Cherry Ripe, all competitor should be awarded and inexhaustible supply of Cherry Ripes.

Back to croquet, this is Dwayne using a croquet stroke to peel white through 4 back(10th hoop).
So his pink ball puts white through the hoop and also ends with a rush to 6 with green.

The match against England was hard for the Aussies, we lost. However they played hard and no doubt enjoyed the location.
See Croquetscores for the results.
There are some croquet player who will look at the scores and wonder about the initials TP.
TP is short for Triple Peel, a brillant tactical set of actions that allows 2 balls to go through their next hoop in the same manouver.
The first step of the triple, yes there’s more!
Sounds complicated, it is.
Many AC players aspire to TP but few manage it.
It's the use of the croquet shot.

A croquet shot occurs when the ball being played is placed touching a ball roqueted. When the ball being played is hit both have to move, if they don't it's an errot -end of turn.
Virgina in the video is playing green and taking croquet from pink - both balls move..
