The Chiang Mai Chassies (and Dixie Belles) are back for their millionth tour - ready to play hard and party even harder!
-
Adele Theron - SOUTH AFRICA
When she isn’t being spanked with Mr G. of Spittalfields patented device, this newly married filly is one keen and mean bowler – as her husband will testify. As the teams self-proclaimed border collie, Delly is the racehorse gunning out the gate, whether drinking up a storm or with the initiation of her new company, she uses a no holds barred approach.
-
Ann Fink - USA
Although happier on the baseball pitch, our very own angel-voiced Yankee Rose will have ya’ll standing on your seats shouting for more. Super-fit Ann makes sprinting between wickets look easy… And that’s without breaking a sweat.
-
Anne Schoch - SWITZERLAND
Elegant Anne is the tall and graceful gazelle of the team. With a good eye for the ball, she is an integral part of the Chassies wicket-keeping duo. Anne doesn’t let those tight gloves hinder her making a mean gin and tonic (always with lime – essential). Cricket is thirsty work. Anne est incroyable!
-
Gail Anderson - AUSTRALIA
As a Sixes virgin, gentle Gail brings with her a natural cricketing ability and pedigree. As probably the most sober of the team, the remaining Chassies will look to her for strength, inspiration…as well as a shoulder or two to lean/cry on during the slammer sessions.
-
Janet Kirwin - AUSTRALIA
This number crunching extraordinaire that ‘comes from a land down under (where women glow and men plunder)’ definitely means business this year on and off the pitch. As a previous years ‘lady of the match’ this cricket demon will be as delft with the bat and ball as she is at the bar…
-
Jeanette Woelinga - NETHERLANDS
This feisty, fun and fantastic clog-wearing lady is a sure-shot bowler and supreme batswoman. Proudly wearing her ex-husbands girlfriends clothes, this bundle of fun will bring life to every Sixes party, and can go on and on and on… More champagne Jeanette?
-
Joanne Robinson - ENGLAND
Pint sized wicket keeper Joanne attends practices, but rarely leaves her gin and tonics side – preferring instead to exercise her vocal chords rather than her bowling arm. Leading the Chassies management with Green and Wood, Joanne’s wicked batting has been known to cross the boundary once or twice. Spectators stand back...
-
Lek Chuenjai - THAILAND
Having dragged Lek away from climbing the Himalaya’s and playing endless hours of tennis, we have found our very own one-woman-cricket-machine. Although a Sixes virgin, Lek’s signature, focussed bowling technique is a winner for sure.
-
Lulu Coombes - BRAZIL
Many still talk in wonder about Lulu’s ‘fan water spray dance’ during the 2010 Cricket Sixes (well… mostly the men!) but today Lulu is as keen as mustard to prove herself as a hotshot, fast and straight bowler. Fighting fit and ready for action, this Brazilian goddess means war.
-
Michelle Green (Captain) - ZIMBABWE
Thankfully when the hangover hasn’t kicked in, Michelle’s bowling is much better than her singing. Known as the party animal of the team (with a propensity to dance on tables), Michelle is taking a career break for the week to lead from the front. Charge!!
-
Natalia Hird - RUSSIA
Tash (zat’s my husband) Hird is a Chassies veteran that made it back from Dubai without being traded in for camels. Make sure you watch out for her bouncers (?!) - this maiden is one of our meanest bowlers. Not shy when it comes to voicing her opinions, Tash’s dulcet tones can be heard as far as the pavilion… or make that the Night Bazaar.
-
Rin Wood - THAILAND
Don’t be fooled by Rin’s calm persona. This pocket rocket is a screaming fitness bootcamp Major that packs a punch in the drinking stakes (where the hell does she put it all?) as well as on the cricket pitch – a perfect combo for the Chassies management team. Watch out for that beautiful bowling action - poetry in motion.
-
Sarah Morgan - ENGLAND
As one of the sponsor’s ‘better half’s, SMG is the matriarch of the Chassies team and always on hand to keep them in check. Although prone to a glass of red (or ten) devil-horn wearing SMG rarely suffers from the curse of the hangover, so will be a reliable member when the wheels fall off elsewhere. Just don’t ask how she earned her horns…
