Joe Carpenter
As every chairman should be; Jo is even-tempered, never prone to a rash action and is a joy to be with on
the golf course as all the caddies of Chiang Mia will confirm. In his spare time Joe is available for weddings, birthdays and
Bar Mitzvahs, just please DON'T touch his records.
Clive Carpenter
The opposite of his brother Joe. Clive is famed for his tantrums and outspokenness on all matters. When
Clive's around you know fireworks are going to follow.
Hils Carpenter
Every team needs a floozy and our out of Africa girl fits that bill. Never happier than with a glass of wine
in one hand and George in the other.
Ron 'Trigger' Farrer
The mild mannered scorer for 51 weeks of the year turns into the terror of Chiang Mai for
this week. Ron also records every wide we bowl, every wicket we lose and every catch we drop. Rumour has it he keeps coloured
pens for when we do something right. Only a rumour though.
Jeremy 'Jes' Coulbeck
Jeremy was taught at his minor public school how to consume vast quantities of Jack Daniels & Coke.
This has proved useful for Oy who now trebles her yearly order of JD when Jes in town. Jeremy is soon to publish a handbook
on organising and managing cricket tours whilst under the influence.
George Appleton
After twenty years having his golf clubs carried around the world courtesy of the British taxpayer (sorry
serving Queen & Country - my mistake ed) George is now going to spend the next twenty years hoping Middlesbrough
FC can add to their 1976 Anglo-Scottish Cup triumph. His time in the Navy was well spent developing a keen naturalist's
eye on native monkey.
Ahmed Al Khandi
The mad Arab makes his Chiang Mai comeback. Even if you never meet him his laughing is bound to let you
know he's around. The only member of the squad to have a tuk-tuk licence unfortunately he's unlikely to be sober
enough to take a fare.
Andy 'Shad' Phillips
Shadwell returns to the scene of his most legendary over, please ask him about it whenever
you can. Whilst he is being sponsored by the 'Khaleej Times' Shad really owes his place to the new quota system
at Darjeeling. This allows the poor oppressed Welsh a token slot on the team.
Duncan McKenzie
He may occasionally appear to be lost for words but d-d-d-on't worry that's just the stutter
kicking in. He never minds if words fail him however as his bowling action provides all the poetry he needs. There are also
suggestions that he might have bowled a wide or two in his time.
Mike Herbert
The cricketing world sighed with relief when it was found out Mike's leggies were unaffected by the broken
finger that kept him sidelined for almost a year. Yes you read that right: a year out with a broken finger. We are happy to
report though, that Mike assured us it didn't affect the more solitary pursuits accountants get up to.
Stuart - What Stuart doesn't know about Warwickshire Cricket Club can be written down on the ticket stub of a Chiang
Mai cinema receipt. Fortunately he has plenty of these and can not only tell you who is the greatest WCC bowler but also who
Mai-Lai thinks has the greatest balls.
Lewis Carpenter
After taking Meryck caught & balled last year the youngest (and best)
Carpenter is looking for more big guns to add to his list for bragging
rights back in the UK. As I'm sure he's found out boasting
to your mates about such endeavours might go down well but it only bores
the girls to tears.
