Maurice Bromley: Old "Barge pole" The lefty with a wily slant to his bowling, will measure out his opponents. Nothing second hand there although he is always on the lookout for a bargain. He will not give his wicket away cheaply, not even to the highest bidder. Done, done, all done.

Richard Abbott: Old "May pole", it's in the bag, why is he always digging in the dirt, now that's food for thought. The "Rural Aussie", "Kingswood" and all, but where is the "Blue Heeler". Like the famous dog he has plenty of bit, however can he repeat last year's stunning performances on and off the field.

Geoff Thompson: Old "Totempole", resurrecting his cricketing career after a sabbatical break. Smooth with the pen, deft with the blade, slight of hand with the ball and wise with the tongue. He can't fail to impress with all round ability like that.

Roger Herbert: Old "Flagpole", adding intellectual depth to the team, fresh from the shores of Corio Bay in Aus. He will experience his first "Sixes". Can he handle the pace off the field as well as on it? Left handed batting will add variation to a team rich with talent.

Ray Twine: Old "Bean pole", bringing culture and sophistication to this collection of misfit cricketers. Well, that's his story, he has lots to prove!!!. Fresh from foreign shores is anxious to impress with wily craft weadling away at the stumps and batting with deft touch. "Beanpole" is hoping that action speaks louder than words.

Eric Little: Old "Spinnaker pole", with a mind as young as his, no wonder he enjoys playing cricket with the kids. But can his body keep up with the mind? Failed to finish last year's event in good shape. Obviously the mind is willing but the body is weak. Has never passed by a damsel in distress yet.

Peter Dawson: Old "Tent pole", as Team manager and administrator of this motley collection of poor unfortunate bodies who claim to be fit and healthy cricketers he has the most awesome task ever imaginable keeping this "pole headed" lot together. . Still old "Tent Pole" will handle it with consummate ease as he does with everything else. He even took a poll and found that all his men where "pole" men. He's hoping that they will poleax the opposition.
