Sixes 2013 Committee Pen Portraits

		David Walker, King parrot, what else. Good eye and good talker. Likes a flock to watch over, hence he is King parrot to the local flock.  Zooms in on the magazine and its presentation is his mantel and all that pertains to it and that is plenty.
		Mike McCune, Bald eagle, flies high with the band waves on the lookout for more band width. Has an eagle eye for food.  Great spread of wings glides through many a website with consummate ease. Our techno geek who does all that stuff that normal humans shy away from through complete ignorance. Magazine, web site man, video camera, direct feed and much more etc.
		Eric Little, our kookaburra always breaks the dawn with a noisy chorus with his joyful laughing call. Will be first person at the ground very early every day checking what the night brought in. Loves the early hours when all is quiet and not a soul is stirring.
		Awn Pattimaporn, our love bird. Coy and reserved with such an innocent face and a becoming smile. Will seduce you for an extra drink at the bar. Guards our oasis for the thirsty cricketers. Behind the bar or in the cashier’s tent she will greet you with a warmest of smiles.
		Terry Skillet, angry bird. Well, he is not angry really. But don’t stir him or he may be angry. Ever ready to give a helping hand. Will be on the microphone most days giving us soft patter and vivid descriptions of play.
		Rick “Vicking”Davis, our peacock makes a great song and dance. But has been absent for a couple of years. Reports say that he is going to umpire. But will the lure of spreading the word, induce our dulcet toned commentator to a microphone at some stage. Probably the air-conditioning may be the greater attraction.
		Paul “Hagar” Jones, resplendent in white with black. Standing stork-like steady with eyes wide open ready to pounce on any misdemeanor . The “Chief” and you better believe it. Men in white are always right, just ask them.
		Barrie Radburn, no duck this chestnut teal fellow. Always looks calm on the surface, but plenty happening under. Now relaxing in Chiang Mai for an easy life. Well this week will fix all that. Our man who has all the headaches sorting out of the would be’s and could be’s from the gunna be’s and wanna be’s. No one wants his job.
		Jenny Morgan, our “DUCK” lady. Has a clutch of ducks waiting to be handed out to the most unfortunate batsmen who not troubled the scorers. Our tracker of all the quackers and lover of kids cricket.
		Martin Papworth, our weaver bird. Industrious, neat and chirpy. from kids to ACC duties multi skilled. Works like a slave coaching the local Thai childres' cricket. The results are most impressive. Their development is his reward and satisfaction.
		Dominic Williams, our magpie, never short of a word to say. Scrambling for better things. F & B man, no, that is “Food and Beverage”. Will pick your brains in one fell swoop if you are not aware.
		Chris Dodd, Miner bird on the go squabbling for scraps. Never alone in Lamphun and is busily developing a strong cricket base in that area. His Lamphun team did very well in the regional cricket.
		Mike “Burnsie” Burns, our wedge tail eagle, soaring over all, seeing all. Not a thing is missed. Welcome back this year after a year’s absence.
		Richard “Lockie”Lockwood, Galahs are clever birds, as well as pretty talkative.  Stats man. Wisden’s book of knowledge is our Lockie. This year again will abandon us for the bright lights of the IPL and its riches.
		David Holt, willy wag tail, a loveable bird. Busy hussling about singing his song. Man of many hats. Will plug any hole that has opened during the week.
		Peter Dawson, the English barn owl always on the prowl. Prefers the dark dingy atmosphere, but occasionally appears in the spotlight. A figures man for sure.
		Renita Bromley, the Phillipino eagle that likes to keep a watchful eye on her baby even while occupied with new pursuits.
		Maurice Bromley, the Zimbabwean Ostrich, is a flightless bird native to Africa. The largest living species of bird, it is distinctive in its appearance, with a long neck and legs and the ability to run at high speeds. The father figure of the Sixes. Still in the background, but is likely to come to the foreground if things are not ship shape. Keeping a watchful eye on the developments.
