Almar Players

• Dax Bailey

  Dax models himself on his cricketing idol, the infamous Bermudian, Dwayne Leverock. His job as a seller of wine gives very little indication as to whether Dax pocesses any cricket skills. Otherwise, his upbeat outlook and constant jibber jabbering might prove useful in the after match socialising.

  

• Ebrahim Parker

  Hash has a forgettable job of very little interest, though he is head of youth cricket at his local club. As a lover of Bollywood movies he is a batsman of some style. Regrettably this is looking good in his kit rather than technical stroke play. His fair weather bowling will come in handy during lost causes.

  

• Garry Muller

  After failing to prove that he could be quicker between the wickets last year, Gary has sacked his sprint coach. This year he tried 'The Fully Monty' fitness regime. He could be found wrapped in cling film, sitting in a sauna, while sipping a cold Castle. This year Gary will only be hitting boundaries.

  

• MC Laubscher

  MC is a detective in the South African Police Service. He is also an avid sports photographer, although cheer leaders seem to be his favourite subject. As a wicketkeeper/batsman, Almar can finally replace Foxy after a few years of comedy keeping. MC is reported to enjoy the social aspects of cricket as much as the playing.

  

• Neil Strybis

  As Neil becomes chronologically challenged & his cricketing skills diminish, he has found a new role within the Almar side as a pitch reporter. He can regularly be found, after his opening delivery, giving the wicket a close up and personal inspection. Likes coming to Chiang Mai as he gets to rise up the order & bat at 6.

  

• Peter Scott

  As an expert in the conditioning of air it comes as little surprise Peter has a lot to say, especially about his own crafty bowling. It has been said that he can hold a bat only slightly better than his John Travolta dance moves. Another who brings more to the social side of cricket than the playing.

  

• Ron Nes

  Ron is still an all rounder despite debilitating strains all over his body. He can still run & walk if the circumstance are deemed critical. Ron remains in the side these days more to provide funds for his more fiscally challenged team mates than his cricketing prowess.

  

• William Crichton-Stuart

  Now on his 10th sixes, it is expected that he would understand how detrimental no sleep and copious tins of San Miguel can be on his ability to play cricket. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any cricketing skills to be affected by this lifestyle. Carry on !

  

Almar Supporters

• Sally, Susan & Pratrica

  As avid cricket watchers they can regularly be found wandering the Gymkhana with vodka laced smoothies in hand. This can, later in the day, lead them to become very vocal in their support.
