Clifton Hill Tom Cats

The World Famous Clifton Hill Tom Cats have been pimped!

What was supposed to be the team that let all the older players have an excuse to travel to Chiang Mai and "play cricket" has now been transformed into a younger, fitter and more sober team, with a couple of older lads thrown in. The Tom Cats now have the capacity to beat previous years winning record of 1 game per tournament

Clifton Hill Tom Cats Players

  • Asher "AK47" Kelly

    A quiet underachiever, AK47 will be plying his trade with the gloves for the Tom Cats this CM Sixes. An unknown quantity off the field, his superb glovework on it can surely be transferred into all manner of extra curricular activities.

  • Jarrod "Tuffy" Tough

    "Tuffy" is another seasoned CM veteran returning to the scene for the first time since 2013. Tuffy may struggle in the early part of the tournament as his body deals with digesting a beer that isnt Furphy but once he's acclimatised look out. Tuffy is a big game player who loves taking wickets and spraying his teammates if they misfield.

    P.S I am reliably informed not to go within a 10m radius of his hotel room either.

  • Jesse "Nailz" Parlane

    A CM veteran embarking on what may be his final tour. Plagued by injury recently belying his nickname of "Nailz", he will be out to prove a point this year - providing he can safely make it onto the field.

  • Lachie "Hammer" Elmore

    Hammer is back for his 419th tour of Chiang Mai - which is still much less than his good mate Jeff Lyons who first toured Chiang Mai in 1724. Hammer is the tallest bloke ever to wander onto a cricket field and he's famous in Chiang Mai for hitting his head on absolutely everything—tree branches, shop signs you name it. Hammer is very useful in the field as due to his ability to camouflage as a flagpole and is also very useful at the end of a night out.

  • Matt "Malty" Lynas

    Malty is the 1st XI Captain at CHCC —capable of anchoring an innings when wickets fall or breaking a stubborn partnership with the ball. Of course that would usually lend him towards the Stray Cats team but an ill-timed case of his thumb being snapped in half has led to him being included as a valuable member of the CH Tom Cats. If you see anyone waving balls by in the field this year, chances are its him.

  • Matt "TBone" Tulk

    TBone is one of those rare cricketers who seems good at everything: clean striker, crafty with the ball in hand, and decent after the match with a drink in hand. His nickname had nothing to do with steaks or strength—it came from a bizarre team story. Years ago, world famous CH Stray Cats player TRob borrowed his room after a long night out . The tale spread through the club faster than a quick single, and before long the lads started calling Matt “TBone”. The name stuck, though, and so did his reputation: dependable runs, sneaky wickets, and a capacity for celebratory beers that could rival his batting average.

  • Nathan "Sonny" Sonnberger

    Part of the new breed of Clifton Hillers, Sonny or the Burger as he is affectionately know, is one of many entering their first tour of Chiang Mai. Sonny's principles of cricket are simple - spray the ball everywhere, hit absolute bombs and drink beers in no particular order. Sonny's principles on a night out are of course very similar and we are excited to see what, or who, he can bring to the table.

    P.S I am reliably informed not to go within a 10m radius of his hotel room.
