Down Under Diva’s make their debut in the Sixes competition this year. All players are very excited to get to Chiang Mai to do some sight seeing before sussing out the competition.
Some of the team are returning supporters of the Sons of Pitches, while others this is their first time not only at the cricket but overseas.
This group of Ladies decided to put a team together after being great supporters of the mens team, and thought “How hard could this be”.
We are here to have fun while hopefully learning the game, and making more friendships along the way.
We know we will have everyone supporting and watching back home especially at the Farmers Hotel!

Danika (7) Hicks
This is Danika’s first year of cricket. We are sure that after all her training sessions with her coach she will be more than ready to take on the competition at the Sixes.
Danika has never been overseas so is looking forward to the trip.
Danika is very excited to explore all the sights of Chiang Mai and can’t wait to get to the Markets.

Kerri (Kez 14) Hicks
This is Kerri’s first year playing cricket. It is also her first overseas trip.
Kerri will not only be in Chiang Mai to play but will also be a supporter to her Husband Adam (Dump) playing for the Son’s of Pitches team.
We know that Kerri is looking forward to the nightlife and will take on the role of drinking for 2 as her Husband doesn’t drink.
I am sure she will be in constant contact with home as she is leaving her Son home alone in charge of the Farm.

Maddi (Ranga 27) Hicks
Maddi is making her return to cricket after a few years off.
This is Maddi’s first overseas trip so she is very excited to see all the sights but most importantly she can’t wait to hit the Markets.
Maddi will get to enjoy not only playing but supporting her Dad (Dump) and Uncle (Wombat) in the mens competition.
Maddi will be sure to eat as much Sticky Rice as humanly possible while in Chiang Mai.

Nicky ( Mrs Wombat 19) Hicks
This is Nicky’s first year playing cricket. She visited Chiang Mai last year to support her Fiancé Jason (Wombat) who is now her husband and decided she would have a go herself this year.
Nicky is known as the Sons of Pitches loudest supporter which I am sure she will continue with this year when not playing herself.
Nicky is the World Famous Publican and major sponsor of the Down Under Diva’s and Sons of Pitches which was very publicised by Nicky’s number 1 supporter Burnsey last year.
She is very happy to be taking the family this year and is looking forward to catching up with everyone.

Odette ( Nan Wombat 33 ) Hicks
This is Odette’s first year of cricket after all the years of being a cricket Mum to her 3 boys.
Odette will this year take on the Nan role not only for her family travelling with her to Chiang Mai but to all the Down Under Diva’s team and also the Sons of Pitches team.
Odette will get to watch 2 of her boys compete in the Men’s competition.
She is looking forward to spending as much time as she can in the pool and doing a spot of shopping at the markets.
Her favourite dish which she will live on while in Chiang Mai will be the Chicken fried rice from 7 Eleven.

Raylene (Razer 17) Roddom
This is Razer’s first year playing cricket, after spending many years support her Husband the Famous Mr Chef!
Although Razer may be the smallest on the team, don’t let that fool you! She is the biggest party girl!!
Always up for a drink and a dance, we hope she doesn’t wear herself out of a night, she is quite known though to have a little nap while out partying just to recover enough to keep going.
When not on the field, she will mostly be found at the massage tent with, Drink in hand.
