Hoping to improve on their 1-4 record from '05, expect to hear
the Wombats
making noises about winning isn't everything, we're just happy to be here
etc when they don't.

DANIEL ANLEY
Second tour for the wild man from Transvaal. Zulu has finally found a way to
cure himself of his beamer problem: keep wickets.
COURTNEY JONES
Appropriately named after 2 greats of world cricket, Chuck unfortunately
bats like Courtney Walsh and bowls like Dean Jones. Winner of Golden Thing
(biggest idiot) in '04 and '05, and let's face it, probably '06 too.
IAN GASON
In the Glenn McGrath mould of bowlers. That is, will bend your ear til it
bleeds going on about how is batting is under-appreciated. Coming to CM via
a circutous route: Perth to Tehran, Syria, and Egypt. Will be carrying the
added burden of 5 months of kebabs.
LUKE RAY
Simply unplayable in the Australian Ashes victory last year, where he
bamboozled openers Trescothick and Stra.....oh hang on, that was the Tokyo
Ashes. Anyway, he was unplayable. Capable of the supernatural in the field,
hence also known as The Freak.
ANDY HALL
The star of the Tokyo Wombats maiden tour, NIKKA also played some bloody
good cricket. Wielded his trusty Tusker with glee, and sent balls down hard
and fast. Has a return to Australia calmed him, or will he let fly?
MARTY CHARLTON
Dr Death, our Wommie was a smiling assassin as he closed out innings, and
his 2 wickets in 2 balls v Awali was vital in our (one and only) win.
Straight forward, no bullshit approach to all things in Chiang Mai.
REGAN DAWSON
The quiet achiever, The Shinjuku Express went quietly about his business in
CM '05, then went on to become a stand out player in the regular season. One
of the first to sign up for a second tour, doesn't care where he bats or
bowls as long as it's Bubbles.
PETER HOSKING
"I will NEVER go to Thailand again." After Boxing Day '04 in Phuket,
it took
a lot of work convincing Smoker that Chiang Mai was nowhere near the ocean,
and actually in Laos. '05 season consisted of one disgraceful over and a 2
ball duck. Wouldn't dream of going in without him.
KYAL HILL
So impressed with our demolishing of The British Embassy CC, 20kgs of snags
and copious amounts of beer, Hamburger Hill decided he had to be a Wombat.
Adds condsiderable weight to our middle order. Keep Jack Daniels out of his
sight.
