Well done the CCs. Thanks for the entertainment, and the Cap you gave me at The Pub. How come I missed out on the free wine though? Free sample would be appreciated. What about distribution in the UK? Thanks again from Dave at City Police.

More information on the spoon competition - The Custom Cockatoos from Adelaide, South Australia batted first in the Spoon final and made 3 for 89 off their 5 overs with Jason Kohlmorgen (22*) and Cohen Thamm (20*) being the top scorers. In reply the Bounty Spirits from Singapore could only make 3 for 60 off their 5 overs, with wickets to Jason Kohlmorgen, Heather Marshall and Kylie Tulloch, and 2 great catches to Cohen Thamm. Rachel Thamm was handy behind the stumps. Custom Cockatoos skipper Mark Thamm was delighted with his teams performance and described the final as a highlight in his cricket career.

What a great tournament! It was the first time for the Custom Cockatoos and the team consisting of 4 girls and 3 boys came away with the Spoon trophy - big cheers from the crowd for the orange team!! Now that we know how the game is played, look out because we will be aiming for the plate at least next year. Anyone with an interest in cricket should get to one of the Asian Cricket Sixes tournaments for a great time. We also were promoting our wines and gave away heaps of free samples causing a stampede for the Custom Wines tent. The wines were very well received and we hope to have a distributor in Thailand very soon for all those who wanted to take home bottles! Well done to everyone involved!!! See you next year.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Martin Williamson
Executive editor Martin Williamson joined the Wisden website in its planning stages in 2001 after failing to make his millions in the internet boom when managing editor of Sportal. Before that he was in charge of Sky Sports Online and helped launch and run Sky News Online. With a preference for all things old (except his wife and children), he has recently confounded colleagues by displaying an uncharacteristic fondness for Twenty20 cricket. His enthusiasm for the game is sadly not matched by his ability, but he remains convinced that he might be a late developer and perseveres in the hope of an England call-up with his middle-order batting and non-spinning offbreaks. He is now managing editor of ESPN EMEA Digital Group as well as his Cricinfo responsibilities.
