Stephen "Tuffers" Drakeford - Originally haling from Swahili-land, or who cares, you might think he got his nickname for being an ace of spin, funny stunt, or a piss-head. Although two of these may be correct, it comes from his uncanny ability to field like the great Phil Tufnell himself. Do not be fooled by his "tickle me Elmo" looks and demeanour, mess with him and an explosives truck may just roll on down Sesame Street.
Jimi 'Zuppa' Green - Fielding is his specialty as his stature means he is always close to the ground. Jimi is the teams 'sheik' of tweak with his biting leggies, love of the ciggies and his passion for the ladies. Rumour has it that the "can't bat, can't bowl" sledge was born when Jimi first started in the nets but these days, when describing Jimi, you're more likely to just hear "can't".
Iain 'Debo' Davison - Often confused with Peter Fitzsimons in both looks and attitude. More at home in the second row of a rugby scrum or on the back of a fire engine. If he actually gets bat on ball there's a good chance it will stay well and truly hit. Likely to be the one of the last to leave the bar each night and if you're with him at the time he may show you where he keeps his asthma puffer.
Neil 'The Morto' Morton - The only Englishman of the team, and a Geordie to boot. He's the reason the team was put together so there is a heavy burden on his shoulders to perform on the pitch and in the bar. Can bat and bowl, just not very well. If you see him talking to his team mates late at night after a couple of Newcy Browns, please come over and let us know what he's saying.
Adam ‘Dark' Green - Intrepid traveller, ginger, seamer, sixes virgin. Forms the 'dark green' component of the brothers green. Was once mistaken for Damien Fleming on the streets of India, not likely to have the same problem when he rolls the arm for SA PA CC. Just here to discover the wonders of ‘Cheers' beer before disappearing into the jungles of Laos.
Ian Gareth ‘Welshy' Welsh - At birth was nearly named after his fathers favourite "Pit-pony" - Niven. Well renowned for dressing as a Peirot Doll and his culinary feats, Welshy is often being asked if he is the love child of the "two fat ladies". Though he looks it, he is not famous. Usually more at home on the Rugby field, his cricket experience in the home land ensures that he brings the enthusiasm and spin of Monty Panesar without the girly throwing action, Welshy is a welcome addition to the SA PA CC.
