Paul Thwaites - Captain
Nicknamed the ‘Wing Commander’, is currently being trained by Mike Gatting and has lost 4 stone since last at the tournament.

Former Cambridgeshire schools teams and has toured to many parts of the world, as well as being a qualified cricket coach. Watch out for the very controlled flat bat over mid wicket.

Paul Lack
Another Ashwell Crusader regular. Probably the best travelled cricketer in the side. He has toured with the skipper to Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Holland, Chiang Mai, Portugal, Florida and Barbados to name but a few.

Paul Thwaites remembers bowling a 14 over stint with Paul at the Hong Kong Cricket Club in 1986 where they took 8 wickets between them to win the game.

Still revelling from our latest victories in Sarasota and Morocco.

Neil Billing
A middle order batsman (could be tricky in Sixes having all middle order batsmen) and military medium bowler who has also toured with the Wing Commander and Lack to the West Indies, Spain, Gibraltar and South Africa. Attended the same school as Alec Stewart but several decades earlier. Plays cricket for Tenterden.

Neil Sen
Events Manager, organises the Morocco Sixes, good all-rounder, previously played for Esher CC.

Richard Pallett
Big all-rounder, 3rd tour to Chiang Mai. Former Kent representative and previously a Frostie at the Sixes. Now using the skipper's XXXL kit.

Dominic Bryan
Wicket keeper & 5th tour to Chiang Mai. Another former Jack Frost player making his debut for the Crusaders. Yet another middle order batsman. Continues to own probably the worst golf swing you’re likely to see.

John Magner
1st tour to Chiang Mai - we wait to see his performance.

Note from the Captain - Paul Thwaites

I am delighted to be attending the Chiang Mai tournament this year. Ashwell Crusaders is a touring, fun filled side and I am sure that our players will contribute to the already very colourful tournament.

Particular thanks to Maurice and Rick for inviting us to the tournament who I know will make our visit enjoyable as ever.

The Crusaders motto:

A Crusader stands for freedom
Stands for fun, stands forever being young
So do a good turn unto others
Never turn from your quest
For you are a crusader
And a crusader does his best
