Having finally washed his hands of the rabble listed below and officially retired from first class, second class and every other class of cricket (oh how we shall miss his devious donkey drops), the Malakas founder and spiritual leader Mr Terence Skillett has been absorbed into the amorphous mass of the Sixes Committee and has handed over responsibility to an unholy alliance of Malakas spearheaded by Mr Matti. The future's bright, the future's Lemon (or not).

Steve (Yorky) Fowler
Malakas veteran who is hoping for a Sixes floodlight competition as most of his heavy scoring is done in the evenings. Watch for his Gazelle like fielding, very much missed last year as he never fielded one ball in the whole week.

John (Glasses) Bellinger
Might even get some sleep this year without his mascot (Priscilla). His big ambition is to date someone that comes above his belt. Loves the seafood here especially the crabs!!

Ray (Lemon) Matti
This golfing bandit will be keen to rid himself of the Duck, which will be difficult when you see him bat. Our number one keeper will be diving all over the place - just a pity he doesn't do it behind the stumps!

Max (Hotpoint) Osman
Malakas legend who is a doubtful starter this year but we can just hope he makes it. Needs little introduction to anybody that has spent more than 10 seconds in a bar with him. Loves his 8 hours sleep and one year even managed 9 in the week.

Brett (Fat Boy Slim) Hillas
Will be the most talked about cricketer this year after losing about 120 kilos. A big advert for the Atkins diet even though most of his team mates look like they have been on the Robbie Coltrane diet.

Kim (Mr Shenanigans) Fletcher
Spent many years in Thailand but first visit to the Sixes. Will keep the local bars very happy when having a session with Lemon (drinking that is). Last played cricket 40 years ago so should be one of our stars.

Steve (Tatz) Tatzenko
This drop in class could just be what this Australian Sixes legend is waiting for. He might even get a game which will no doubt upset him. Normally the last man out (of bars, that is). "Off field" performances are second to none.

Dave (Stubbsy) Stubbs
Another one of Yorky's Yorkshire exports. If he is anything like the rest he will be crap. A Sixes virgin but loves a beer so should fit in well and we just have a slight feeling he will enjoy the nightlife.

Mick (Sid) Moohan
A Malakas loyal supporter. First came to Thailand for the lovely Temples but is more of a leg man now. Hoping to play one year when we could witness the first 4 day over.

Dag the Swedish Geezer
Another Malakas supporter famous for his bell ringing. If you see him in a bar humming Rocket Man please don't try to pull his wig off - he assures us it's real.

Chris (Johnno) Johnson
Three lovely hooks last year alas all from his ex girlfriend. Did OK on his debut last year when he bothered to turn up. Will no doubt fall in love again.No professionals please!!

Marti (Fair Dinkum) Burns
A lot will depend regarding the Malakas' fortunes on the fitness of this man. He has recovered from a year on the treatment table and boy did he need treatment.Unlikely to make the start of the tournament but all who know him are certain he will make a big impact on arrival.
