Queenstown news and more...

Mascot

The Pelican – Australian, Dalmatian, Great White, American White, Pink-backed, Spot-billed or Brown Peruvian Pelican, we don’t care which type

Watering hole:

The Grumeti River bissecting the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania or the Speights Ale House

Team Meal:

Fish, but we’ve also been known to eat amphibians, crustaceans and on some occasions smaller birds, usually served in a burrito from Sombrero's

Team Drink:

Every night, sometimes more than one

Match-fixing plans:

Currently consulting the Pakistan cricket team for pointers but keeping an eye on a certain chubby medium-pacer – you know who you are

Player who'll make a difference:

Team patron Mark “Rigger” Richardson, as he’s the only person we know who owns a one-piece lycra suit, so it’s highly likely he’ll win the one-piece lycra suit race. Don’t know what he’ll add to our actual cricket though

Team weaknesses:

A bit slow waddling between the wickets. Not easy to catch a ball with wings but the throat pouch can come in handy
