Team at 2002 Sixes

William Whiteside-McFadden

Making his 4th visit to the Sixes, "Tinker" is still basking in the glory of leading the Kiteboys to glory in last year's Bowl, and, even more improbably, actually hitting a four in the final. The current crisis being faced by the world's leading insurance companies is probably the result of his claim following the loss of his luggage last year. William is currently taking a part-time, long-distance learning degree at Manchester University (who are unaware that it is part-time or long-distance).

Sam Whiteside-McFadden

Appointed team treasurer after working out that any sum of money in Baht is equivalent to a pound, "Chucky" lived up to his temperamental reputation last year on his Chiang Mai debut when throwing a strop before he had even bowled a ball when objecting to the umpire preventing him taking a 120 yard run-up. If he had run in that far and then been no-balled god knows what would have happened. Showed hitherto unrevealed batting ability when smashing a six in the Bowl final off a rather infirm Bunny. He is eagerly anticipating renewing acquaintance with the Spotlight Bar.

Jonno Seifman

Jonno's heroism in changing his flight plans last year in order to play in the Final, therein risking his immediate employment prospects, have made him a Kiteboy legend, and we are delighted to welcome him back for a second year. The Kiteboys have turned down a huge transfer bid from Lamma for his services so he had better do the business again!

Daniel Shaw

Junior Kiteboy whose accurate bowling was a major factor in last year's success. Our only Aussie Kiteboy, but we will not be teasing him about how England massacred his national team in both the Ashes and the one-dayers this winter (not to mention the football or as is quaintly known down under, 'soccer'). We are hoping he doesn't share a pharmacist with Shane Warne's mother as the Kiteboys have an extremely strict drugs policy.

Paul Carroll

While the participation of this cricketing colossus is not yet totally confirmed, Pail is hoping to make his Chiang Mai comeback after a 12 year gap a lot of water (and other fluids) have passed under the bridge since then. Legendary cricketing cavalier and bon viveur with an idiosyncratic cricketing style involving charging the world's fastest bowlers and the unique 'neck-spin' style of bowling, named after the head movement which follows the ball flying over his head with much greater altitude and velocity than that with which it was delivered. Paul will be in charge of team laundry and marriage guidance counselling.

Matt Luton

The Kiteboy's manager or as he was more accurately known, "Damager", is again ready to take the field in an emergency, and could prove a secret weapon. Despite not playing last year, still came every close to a double figure score. He will be trying to organise a more active Rest Day for the Kiteboys, as last year all they could manage was elephant trekking, rafting, go-karting and bunjee jumping (and that was before lunch).

In Absentia

Nick Knight

The spearhead of the Kiteboys' attack may well be missing this year as he is doing something in a tropical rain forest in Brazil. How we will find another bowler able to restrict the opposition to only 48 off an over is hard to fathom.

James Bryant

We would like to wish James every success in his new contract with Somerset for 2003, and hope he will give Andrew Caddick's ears a tug on our behalf.
