No doubt we shall all be even more confused than usual this year after the MCC in their wisdom have had the biggest re write of the laws since 2000. good luck to all the competitors and remember, be nice, especially to Hagar.

Barry Drake
Not sure of Baz's mode of transport into Chiang Mai this year but he will be flying around the town on his moped. Always has a host of pertinent cricket law questions with which to baffle the head umpire, he usually succeeds.
-
Christophe Felton
Our resident French umpire is about to relocate permanently to Bangkok, having found himself a very good reason for settling in Thailand. Visited Hagar and a cold North Wales in December, not sure if he's recovered yet.
-
Gavin Shaw
Our rock star Shawry will be concentrating solely on his umpiring this year with no Yarrambat managerial duties to weigh him down. Another who visited the metropolis of Wrexham in the northern winter, he looked well at home in the famous Turf Hotel until Kim took him home

Herbie Whitlock
the venerable Earl of Lancashire returns with the delightful Millie to keep him in check. Hagar's right hand man and chief lamp stand guard
-
Ian Locke
Locky has umpired to a very high standard in Australia so he should just about reaching competence at the Chiang Mai sixes by now. A welcome return to this great week
-
Jim Ford
Our man from the Top End of Australia, the King of Darwin. Jim is the steadying influence on this unruly bunch of reprobates. A huge knowledge of all things cricket related
-
Jim Middleton
Our man from Hong Kong, the equaliser will be our bodyguard once again this year. Probably the only person on the panel with a longer attendance record than Hagar having played in the early days for Kowloon CC

Paul "Hagar"Jones
Chief Umpire and Tournament Referee. In his umpteenth Chiang Mai Sixes and loves every minute of it. My favourite place to be the first week of April. Arriving in Thailand via Cape Town so should be well into holiday mode.

Rex " Sly Dog" Evans
Another native of Perth, not sure if its Scotland or Australia !! Known to disappear for hours on end in his single handed mission to inflate the Chiang Mai economy
-
Terry Williams
A Welshman just like Hagar from the small mid Wales town of Mount Isa ! One of the quiet ones amongst the Umpies, and you know the quiet ones are always the most dangerous!!
