11. Garry 'The Hulk' Fischer
LH Batter/Bowler, Wicketkeeper
Gazza has a list of nicknames from his entrance to Chiang Mai last year..Patch, Doctor are a few that comes to mind but the Photo of him wins the tour nickname of the Hulk..
Somewhere over near the Toilets there’s a Rock with his name on It- hopefully.. hopefully he doesn’t get reacquainted with it this year..
Gazza lives in Berry Springs, NT and this will be his 2nd tour in Chiang Mai.

2. Oscar 'the grouch' Ball
RH Batter/bowler, Wicketkeeper
TOUR VIRGIN
Little is know about Ballzy. Played a few years in Darwin and Alice Springs with a lot of success, now setting his sights a little higher starting his international career with the Bushies. Travelling with his girlfriend will see him getting plenty of fines, and might see him in the doghouse as well...can't win. Welcome to the Bushies.
Ballzy resides in Alice Springs and this is his first sixes tour.

25. Mitch 'Mitchy Dub' Wehrmann
RH Batter/Bowler
TOUR VIRGIN
Recruited for his youth and enthusiasm, Mitch will be called upon for his big hitting and as one of the youngest in the team, to cover the field and look after the older players. Being a single young fella he will enjoy the nightlife and ways of Chiang Mai, I'm sure a few veterans will help him out there.
Mitch is from Jamestown, SA and is his first tour to Chiang Mai

5. Josh 'Wormy' Wehrmann
RH Batter/Bowler
TOUR VIRGIN
Josh has 2 passions in life, keeping Bee's and Cricket. Some have said his batting looks similar to swatting away killer bees, but his bowling is smooth and quick. Recruited from Bundaleer CC, Wormy has brought the average age of the team down considerably and look forward to big things from him, just hope he can keep up with the fine sessions and nightlife of the Bushies.
Wormy comes from Jamestown,SA and is his first tour with the Bushies.

55. Kelvin 'Rinks' Lampton
RH Batter/Bowler
TOUR VIRGIN
Well past his best on the field, but will keep the team morale & humour on the sideline.. If he gets the opportunity to hit a ball like he does in Golf, we should see some big hits..Rinks doesn’t like running, so you won’t see no two’s or three’s between the wickets…. YES..we can see a lot of Fines here whether on the field or off..
Rinks resides in Ayr, Nth QLD and this is his first tour with the Bushies.
-
65. Bruce 'Bowz' Bowater
RH Batter/Bowler/Wicketkeeper
TOUR VIRGIN
In his day he could send them down with his Hit or Get Hit bowling..an all-rounder player that can hold his own with the bat as well. Been a few years since he’s Don the Whites but he’s hoping he enjoys this short game. 6’s Cricket is suited for guys like Bowz.. Hope this kickstarts his cricket ventures..
Bowz comes from Townsville, Nth QLD and this is his first tour with the Bushies.
-
69. Daniel 'Danielson' Rosas
RH Batter/Bowler, Wicketkeeper
As a tour virgin last year he will be looking forward to showing the new 2025 Tour Virgins the ropes..Danielson is our “Mr Reliable” who we can count on for anything..Just as well- we need someone with a level head to keep an eye over this crew. You will often find Danielson drifting up and down Loi Kroh road, breaking hearts and making friends.
Danielson lives in Katherine, NT and this will be his 2nd tour with the Bushies.

7. Chai Noi
RH Batter/Bowler
Chai had a very good Sixes tournament last year, with bat and ball and we look forward to watch him go from strength to strength this year as a important member of the Bushies. As alot of us get older, it's quite reassuring to see these youngsters hold there own and will play more of a leading role in years to come.
Chai lives in Chiang Mai and this will be his 3rd year with the Bushies

9. Ton
RH Batter/Bowler
A very good bowler and batter, Ton is one of the most experienced Sixes campaigners for the Bushies and we look forward to another great year from him. We also look forward to having a beer with him again and hope he shares some good bars and nightclubs with some of our younger members.
Ton lives in Chiang Mia and this will be his 4th year playing for the Bushies.
