2007 Umpires

Paul Jones. Aka Hagar the Horrible

Chiang Mai veteran who has stepped into the shoes of the legendary Goughie  to lead the blind and deaf bretheren for the 21st sixes. Will he be up to the challenge?   Buy him a beer and ask him, he'll be happy to let you know!!

Herbie Whitlock aka George Formby

Once again our ukulele  virtuoso has left the banks of the River Ribble (or  is it Wiver Wibble) far behind him for the pilgrimage to CM. What will he take home for Millie this year to make sure he can come back? Surely she has enough lamp stands by now!

Barry Drake aka Bazza

Our bearded Englishman who loves England so much he splits his time between Melbourne and Cardiff!! Will be whizzing around on his Honda 50, be careful he does'nt run you down.

Jeff Cohen aka Rabbi 1

Ex of Perth WA ,now resident of Pattaya. Hagar was persuaded to let him Umpire in CM even though he knows the Cat. No loud appeals please as Rabbi is very shy

Jim Middleton aka Hong Kong Phoey

What can be said, an absolute leg end! Will tell anyone who'll listen how good he his, and who am I to argue? Can kill an argumentative fast bowler with a sideways glance from half a mile away.

Tony  Gough  aka Goughie

Former leader of this bunch of layabouts, was deposed in a bloody coup d'etat ! Will be wandering around in his 20 year old shorts and t shirt looking exactly like the refugee he his. Vastly experienced in 6's and will accompanied by the lovely Lady Norma.

Simon Cussons aka Soapy

Another first time umpire at CM. Simon is here to make sure it's a clean competition, he will be seen quietly smoking his pipe between matches, but is it tobacco in the pipe? A veteran of the North Wales League, enjoys talking about sheep.

Gavin Shaw aka Junior

After years of pretending he could play cricket Gav has joined the Umpires, he hopes not to dislocate his shoulder this year but is willing to risk a dislocated finger when triggering the Yarrambat boys.

Roger Nissim aka Rabbi 2

Roger returns to CM having been here years ago as a player with Kowloon CC and the Centaurs. Our second Rabbi so Bar Mitzvahs should be a doddle. Umpires with Jim in Hong Kong.

Si Kasturiratne  aka Sir Walter Raleigh

Our Sri Lankan superstar.  Si is not easily ruffled  and will normally be seen keeping the tobacco barons in cash. There is a prize for anyone who can pronounce Si's incredibly long  name. Sri Lankans are barred!!!

Jim Ford aka Crocodile Dundee

Joining the gang late with the feeble excuse of attending a wedding. Straight from Australia's top end, thinks Chiang Mai in April is a bit cold !

Geoff Gooch aka the Sheriff of Nottingham

Goochie while not on the Umpires roster this year will be a more than adequate replacement if one of  us should  get lost in the Spotlight Bar, chances are he'll probably be lost too !!
