FROG
Steve “FROG” Forrest Tour ?? – Nobody knows how many times frog has ventured across the ocean to Thailand even frog can’t remember. Frog’s love of beer, good friend’s, cricket, beer and a certain lady makes him the perfect supporter for our group But the man that he is has decided he would not let the team down and will play every early morning game to give some of the others a break. Frogs other duties for the tour include being the music director for the bus (god help us) and he has been assigned to assist chef in ensuring everyone on the team has their fair share of fluid intake during the time at the ground on the days he doesn't play.

SMASH
David “Smash” Barrett -Tour Unknown (to many to count) Smash is the Sons of Pitches first recruit outside of the Vacy area and he enjoys playing cricket with the team that much that we don't think he will ever leave. Smash's High speed bowling and leg glances means he if after a lot of wickets and a few retirement's this year. Once again he is touring for all the right reasons. Drinking, cricket, drinking, and some cricket. He has been waiting for another drinking session in the Awali tent since he fell out of it last year.

WOKKA
Warren "Wokka" Pugh. Warren is a virgin to the Sons of Pitches team but in no way a virgin to the Chiang Mai cricket tournament playing with the Warathais over many years. The big lovable larrikin will have many stories to share over the week and will really love catching up with the people he hasn't seen over the past few years. The man hasn't played cricket for 4 years but batters beware this man does not miss the mark. he hits everything hard the stumps, the ball and especially the drink. He has decided to see if he can destroy his stubby holder within the week. Wokka's wife Fon will attend the cricket with him so this may interrupt the bar sessions but not the fun.

WOMBAT
Jason "Wombat" Hicks Official Tour No 5 – Unofficially there's been a few quick scoping trips in between times. The man's only game since last tournament saw him pile on the runs like Chris Gayle in a 20/20 compPlaying in the Maitland comp now for Paterson and having a great first year in the comp Wombat has been visiting Thailand in between sixes we believe to get some inside tips and gain an edge, and of course working on his Thai. He also has grown fond of the local ba-NANA whilst on his numerous trips to Thailand. Currently counting the days and minutes to departure.

WOODY
Mark "Woody" Wood. Tour 11. Woody has had many name variations over the years (Woodey, Woody, Woodsey, Woosey) nobody is actually sure how many variations have occurred. Woody has had an exceptional year at home playing almost every game and failing almost every time to reach double figures with the bat. The wicket keeper who believes there is no such thing as a BYE just that the umpire didn’t see the ball hit the bat or body of the batsman when he has to chase his misfield.
