Ulysses

Former Captain, WK / Right Handed Batsmen / Aggressive top order sledger - After some good off season recruiting, this mainstay of The Conts has put his hand up to open the batting this season (with varying degrees of success).  Comments made from other team members about only being in the team because he is organising the Canberra Carnival have not yet been confirmed.

Wristy

Right Arm Very Medium Pace / Right Hand Bat:  A talented top order batsmen, Snapper is generally a quiet, non assuming lad, but feed him a few rumbos (frigate??) and all that changes, hence the nickname... watch out for the 'Silly Pommy Idiot" call that he made famous when asking Phil Tufnell for his autograph.

Gaimax

Known for taking the new ball as a last resort and fielding in close to "irritate the batsman". Gets more ducks than Glenn McGrath but has proof that his bowling can take wickets - Carnival Trophy reads (and I quote): "Most Wickets Customs Carnival Gold Coast 2002"

Steam Train

Known for his ability to follow through on an almighty swing at the ball.  Certainly six if contact with the ball was ever made.  Knocks beer's down some what faster than his bowling but is always ready both on and off the field for some slips action.

Contry

Right arm, off the pitch bowler/both handed batsman. Strikes fear in the hearts of wicket keeping team mates with his un-predictable bowling – rumoured to be the reason Snapper Daniels gave away the wicket keeping game. As a batsman, he has been known to give opposition slips fielders head colds from his lusty (and usually unsuccessful) swings of the willow.

Spiral

Right Arm Slightly Off Spin / Right Hand Bat:  A big hitting batsmen capable of taking the long handle to mediocre bowlers.  Unfortunately most of the blokes in this league are slightly less than mediocre so who knows what could happen.

Flopp (Fountain)

Specialist in nothing, but will have a go at everything. Not too sharp between wickets so prefers to smack boundaries rather than wasting energy running between wickets. Bowls a lot of pies, if any wickets are taken it’s usually due to inferior batting rather than the bowlers good form. Needs to improve sledging, something that can always be worked on.

Swifty

Captain, Lightning Fast Right Handed Bowler / Aggressive Right Handed Batsmen. When bowling last week heard whispers from the slips that sounded like can't bowl, can't throw... but his 100% captaincy record, ability to clean bowl talented opening batsmen and hold the innings together by not throwing his wicket away should hold him in good stead this season.
