SHARKS EVADE HUNGRY WOMBATS IN WASHOUT (11/07/2010)
TWCC looked forward to its 2nd competitive game of the season with a visit to Fuji to play good rivals, Chiba Sharks. After a lean couple of weeks of washouts, forfeits and lack of players, a full squad of 11 plus 1 reserve was picked and hopes were high that we'd get a game in to get 2010 season moving.

CHIANG MAI 6s 2010: GOOD JOB!
It's so much harder to write a tour report than a match report. Cricket makes up just a small part of each day's events; amnesia is part of the problem; and let's face it, it's far more interesting getting drunk than reading about it.
The fun began in Bangkok with Marty making a re-appearance in the city of angels, and quickly settling in for some serious team tactics discussions with Gavin and Jarrad. Me, Paul and Nick joined the team after some lost luggage and lost hotels, and a tour of the usual bars and cultural performances took place.

THE LOGO
by Smokey (Barry Francis) |
 |
Rising Sun. Mount Fuji. A Wombat on one knee, flashing a square drive past the covers. It could only be The Tokyo Wombats Cricket Club.
Created by Barry Francis, this eye-catching logo is without doubt the best wombat logo you will see. The design process began in 2003 when I asked Barry if he could do us a few sketches. Happy to oblige the Club he plans to join in 2004, the young Englishman had just one question: "What's a wombat look like?"
Well, when the web pictures began arriving, Barry began regretting his generousity. Short, stubby legs, no neck, round and docile.....how do you turn that into a cricketer? Several forests were felled in the process, and Barry says "I never want to draw another wombat again!", but finally we arrived at the logo you see today. We had wombat chewing stumps, wombat biting bat, wombat climbing on a very big cricket ball, plus countless number of wombats that went straight in the bin.
A self confessed perfectionist, Barry was reluctant to show the boys any design he wasn't happy with himself. A set off designs presented to the AGM failed to satisfy the picky Wombats, but we reached a consensus on what we wanted: Rising Sun, Fuji, and a Wombat not eating anything.
A few weeks later we were presented with our new logo. In the interim, HARDYS, our sponsors, had agreed to supply us with cricket shirts, which will take delivery of this month. The Wombat logo will sit opposite the HARDYS logo on the players' chests, as we strive to bring home the Cups in 2004. Also on the way are TWCC caps, and if you havent ordered one, be quick, because they won't last long!
A big thanks again to HARDYS for the shirts, and to Barry for the design.
