LINDY - Our fearsome Chassies’ captain who is responsible (mainly due to her fast paced bowling and not being sympathetic to the bad drinking habits of the rest of her team during practices) for the Chassies’ constant success.  However, she is responsible for the total domain of her team and the insistence of endless slammers at the end of the games!!!

NATASHA - And who said that Russians couldn’t play cricket?! Well, Tash “threw” this theory out the window (or across the field) by being a major player and winning last years game, or was it due to her ‘Babwean husband’s nocturnal training sessions!?!

MICHELLE R - Our official photographer turned grand Chassies’ player last year. As our only non-drinking team member, her cricket outfit last year “The Belt’ proved to  much for her and she is now fully on board with the team, drinking large amounts – of champagne no less!!

MICHELLE G - Well and truly over her pregnancy and back on tabletops. Sadly her bowling has not improved if last years lob (which ended up in orbit somewhere) is anything to go by. But is still very humorous to witness.

FIONA - Our super batter, whose abilities have been achieved by keeping her sons and husband in order. Will be a big contributor to the runs if she can transfer her form and accuracy with the broom handle to a cricket bat.  Favoured shots are the ‘Eric Cross-bat’ (a kind of pull-shot) and the ‘Rusty & Duncan Smash’ (a sort of cross on-drive / leg-glance).  Is also gracious host to the Chassies team trainings at her newly acquired country club.

PIM - The ballerina of the team with good baseball-cricket skills (due to David Buck’s coaching) dances her way down the wicket. Keeping us all entertained with her endless humor, plenty of slammers will be coming her way for missing practices due to her endless meetings at the Drunken Flower!  Now ‘officially’ married will need liberal applications of pre-game ice to ensure she is not the next Chassies’ player to succumb to the common pregnancy strain/injury [See: ‘Ally’].

CHERYL - Our new import, now a full blown Aussie (saying nothing but “mate!”) returns over the oceans for Chassies duties. We all wait to see her ability, has she has been in training with Shane Warne or will the lack of her drinking training with the Chassies prove to be the more interesting!?!

ALLY - One of the cricket veterans who has been out of action due to a common Chassies ‘injury’ – pregnancy.  After a comprehensive injury prevention program (i.e. a trip to Family Planning and distribution of free prophylactics) Ally is back for action and ready to hit those sixes!!

WITTY - Our new upcoming and virgin player of the team, has been coached by her husband, Wanee (which of course means the former description is figurative, not literal). She is all set to take a few wickets but is still in training for the boat race.

DOT - The youngest member of our team making her umpteenth appearance as our very staunch manager. “Do as you please as long as you win.”  Her nursing abilities, sadly, do not help in the hangovers. The super sub is quick on the offside, slow on the legside and rapid down the middle.

VANESSA= Definitely proven to be the best drinks manager – if you can take her away from her wine for long enough! But manages to keep the team dehydrated before, during and after games with her ready made toxic drinks.
