MALAKAS are to CRICKET what PRICE WATERHOUSE are to the OSCARS!!
-
50 CRATES TIM
Of Greek heritage this is of course a fulfilment of his life’s ambition to be officially ordained a Malaka. A fervent West Ham fan
He hopes his association with the Malakas will continue to provide the success story he is used to with the Hammers.
-
BEN ANTES
A popular understudy to our Dutch master Lemon, Ben also plans his all year fitness regime to peak in Chiang Mai & like
Lemon he is often out all night planning tactics for the next days match. Lets hope there are not too many Ducks A La Orange
this year , although I am sure Jenny would welcome them.
-
HARRY OSMAN
The other partner in the prestigious quality Grog business and another Chiang Mai stalwart.
Let’s hope this Arsenal fanatic does not swap Arsene out for Arsin’ about {not at match times anyway} and that this Gooner
Is not a wooden Spooner.
-
LEMON RAY MATTI
A great Chiang Mai ambassador, he is a rare example of a European boat person becoming a refugee in Asia. Dutch interest in
Cricket was traced to the misconception that Van Holder was Dutch not West Indian, sadly whilst many Cloggies’ names contain
The ‘VAN’ element, their fielding abilities suggest they need to work on the ‘HOLDER’ part. The welcome Matti is always there
for those brave enough to visit the Malakas tent.
-
MARTY ‘ C H ‘ BYRNES
Most of you would never have noticed Marty[ Coq Tere’] previously at the tournament, none the less he is a Malaka veteran.
His evenings spent reading scripture in his room, despite this all Police & Ambulance leave has been cancelled, Medicare have a
Chiang Mai exclusion clause, and the stock price of crutches, splints, bandages & ear plugs has gone through the roof.
As no doubt will CH at some stage. Another maybe no show after being left with the bill from a recent wedding , but on the
bright side he now has several goats and a couple of camels if anybody is near Kalgoorlie.
-
MAX OSMAN
Long time Malaka, this purveyor of fine wines has now turned to “Gentleman Farmer”
However as a result of an RSPCA ban it has no activity of a bovine nature, due to his habit of aiming everything at cow corner.
In a dramatic late development Max has been installed as ante-post favourite for the SID award following a failed M.Fanning
Impersonation and will most probably be an absentee due to upcoming surgery.
-
PETER MITCHELL MITCH
Fresh from his extensive Asian acclimatization period Mitch should be fully charged up and ready to go. A veteran of many
Tournaments he loves the Craic’ – but not the crack [ especially his ankle] Sue & Mitch’s love of Chiang Mai is clearly
Demonstrated by their reluctance to leave even on flights they have already paid for.
-
SAURAV CHATTERJEEE
Our ever popular globetrotting superstar should see our odds plummet whilst he is amongst us, only to have reality kick in as he
makes his way to the airport. Our best chance may be a three day Pilots strike around Thursday. He should be particularly
admired for his ability to fit a full weeks drinking into his reduced time with us.
-
SIMON COOKSLEY
A supporter of the red half of Scouseland Si hopes to be the cream of the KLOPP. An experienced Malaka he knows that
“YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE” does not apply to the Malakas, as when you walk from the Square you will rarely wait long
For our next walker or should that be Waddler?
-
STEVE CHRISTIE ‘CRUNCH’
Crunch has completed his 500 plus trial games with the Waratahs and proved himself worthy of a place in the Malakas squad.
I bet he never dreamed of such heights when he took up the game back in the pre war days!!
-
STEVE HERMAN HERPS
Where did we dig him up from? This seasoned Malaka is our very own Miner county player.
He is the original Herman Hermit & often needs round the clock nursing in his room, we will do all we can to coax him out at Match times.
-
WAZZA WARREN
Yet another Malaka involved in vital public services, a senior rep of Carlton brewery, he will never be short of Malaka
volunteers for quality control testing.
