Peter Dawson"Tent Pole"
Team manager and procurer. Can he do any better than last years team.
An inspirational figure that last year orchestrated a top team. Another
who is rather nocturnal although old father time is having his way.
Eric Little "Peter Pan"
The captain with a reputation. Gets plenty of practice these days with
the Sawasdee cricket. However the old legs are getting much slower and
will be sorely tested this year to make a few runs and bowl some reasonable
overs.
Chris Simmonds "Old Popeye"
Is back in Chiang Mai with a vengeance. He missed the Sixes so much that
he has moved back especially to be available this year. His beguiling
left arm googlies will tempt and tease many a batsmen. More attuned to
running around a tennis court because he doesn't have to stoop to
pick the ball up, shall need so flexibility exercise to get down to the
low balls. I hear that he get plenty of flex exercises, just never shows
any one them!!!
Maurice Bromley "The Gaffer"
Will always prevail with his crafty left arm seamers. But he may have
to pass the girthometer test first. He hasn't grown any taller but
has gained many inches over the Christmas break. The question is will
he be able to get to those ground balls or can he even see the shine of
his shoes.
Richard Abbott, "The Key man"
Where's me keys were the last words spoken after the last Sixes
dinner. Pity that they were in his bag at his feet. Curse the alcohol,
does slow the memory some times. Still that doesn't reflect in his
ability on the cricket ground and will give the opposition plenty of headaches
again.
"Parn" Poshyanondo "Old Scotch"
That stumping completed that famous hat-trick, can he do any better this
year. Batting has yet to be proven. If his efforts on the field could
match his efforts off the field he would be a world-beater. However his
nocturnal prowess leaves him with little spare energy for sensible recreational
activities like cricket.
Terry Kersey "The Body"
What he lacks in skill he contributes in muscle. Not too bad with the
ball, but agility in the field is a little doubtful. Has vowed not to
subject an elephant to torture by riding one this year, the elephant had
the last laugh last year. The biggest acre we have ever seen. Even with
a dodgy hamstring and torn rib muscles, he contributed well. What would
he be like if he was fit. Not a chance of that as he likes an occasional
drink.
Bill Beasley "Cartoon Man"
The man with a real reputation to uphold. The hat-trick in the "Spoon
Final" last year will be hard to top. The experience gained last
year in the exalted company of the "SPOON" will stand Bill
in good stead. Superb in the field topped with those devious left arm
tweakers will ensure that the "Cavaliers" will be hard to
beat again this year.
Peter Simmonds "Tubby"
The second half of the infamous duo. His girth has increased considerably
with the good living down south. Ground balls will not to fielded and
catching could be a problem. He might not even be able to get his hands
together around that enormous rotundity. Still he will score well on the
can consumption helping in his generous way the children's cricket.
Geoff Thompson "The Pencil"
As always creativity at it's best with the magazine. Smooth of tongue
and wise with words. However Geoff this is the real thing and we want
runs and wickets. Welcome back to the fold after a lay off last year.
An old British Club player with loads of experience, but where, at what
and there is no when or is there??
