Look out Sixes… for a second year running the sister team of the legendary Stuffed Beavers will hit the crease with a vengeance. Pumped and ready to go, this vintage set of international fillies mean business - having the Ladies Cup firmly in their sights (along with the obligatory champagne, gin and tonic, 'cocktail of the day'... )
Cheers!

Adele Theron - SOUTH AFRICA
It has been a busy year for our Delly… In addition to swiftly (and surely) climbing the corporate ladder, travelling the globe and making people's divorces ‘less shit’, Delly has become the focus of NBC news reports. How does she do it? Who knows? Both Justin Beaver and Delly will be ready to dish out fines again this year for naughty behaviour and nonsense (watch out Tash…)

Amanda Horsburgh - AUSTRALIA
Tall, slim and beautiful – what’s not to love about our keen-as-mustard Waltzing Matilda? Keeper of the sacred ‘Beaverette tail’, Amanda is out to replicate her wide-free bowling and boundary-clearing batting skills from our 2016 tour. Our dear Amanda is ready to party and will be the official Beaverette eyes and ears for the ‘Chassies Choice’ recommendation.

Beaw Thatsanaprai - THAILAND
After years of tour guiding for the Malakas team, it is safe to say our (formerly) innocent Beaw has been well corrupted making her perfect Beaverette material. Beaw has taken the impending loss of her cricket virginity seriously, she has tied down a Kiwi personal cricket coach Elliot "6 wicket" Lodge and locked him in to a 24/7 residential training regime and has gone from true tea-totaller to a mojitos for breakfast girl.
-
Ellis De Ruiter - THE NETHERLANDS
Although ‘Big-Ball-Smasher’ Ellis has been absent from the nets of late (orange hair may have a lot to do with it), she is still the Beaverettes anchor(wo)man. Her unique bowling style and fierce handy-work with the bat will set a red hot pace on the pitch. Off the pitch, this Dutch Beaverette likes a drink, and another, and another and just one more…
-
Helen Allday - UNITED KINGDOM
One of our Sixes virgins, Helen is usually found on a hockey pitch running after balls with a big rod. We are delighted to have such an athlete on our team this year and have great expectations of her ball handling skills. Being an actual real sports person, she knows how to handle herself on and off the pitch and is ready to make Beaverette history.
-
Jackie Tortorelli Ahlborn - USA
Another Sixes virgin, our softball playing Yankee-Doodle-Dandy Jackie will be ready, willing and able to kiss wickets with her demon bowling style. This tall, athletic specimen is surely going to scare our opponents senseless with her powerful presence… and if she doesn’t, we will just mention ‘Mr Trump’ to her, let her adrenal juices flow and send her into battle.
-
Joanne Robinson - UNITED KINGDOM
Dr Robinson is officially the cleverest person we know and is virtually royalty after her ‘encounter’ with Prince Edward last year. Our glove-wearing captain leads the charge with the complete package of brains, beauty and impressive tossing skills. A true Sixes stalwart, she beavers with the best of them and can usually be found sobering up with a pint of G&T.
-
Maiken Hjulgaard - DENMARK
Long-time Beaver supporter Maiken (yes, they have supporters?!) is our Viking Warrier. Practicing her bowling skills through a strict weekly training regime, this maiden is out to smash some wickets this year… or her toes given her usual lack of any footwear. Demonstrating a slightly evil side to her persona, Maiken tried to poison the Beaverettes last year with some ‘vile liquid’ during the fines session. Not to be repeated.
