Clare, the captain of our women's team, and Tien, a past captain and team administrator, will be competing against representives of seven other clubs in a 400 metre dash and a sprint during the tea break. Both Clare (at far right) and Tien have played in the men's teams at Moonee Valley as well as with our women's team, and are more than capable as cricketers. If they win the Club Cricket Challenge, Clare and Tien will win $1000 for Moonee Valley plus a bat autographed by the Australian squad for the Vodaphone Ashes Series. So if you're at the MCG for Day 4 of the Test, cheer on Clare and Tien at the tea break. If not, keep an eye on the Channel 9 telecast as we're hoping they'll be proudly wearing our Moonee Valley colors for all to see. Cricket makes the world go round at Moonee Valley's latest cricket import, Ihtisham Uddin, has arrived in Australia from Pakistan, and has lost no time in settling in to training. Ihtisham, who as recently as a month ago was playing first class cricket back home, is match-fit and raring to go. He joins a veritable United Nations vying for spots in Moonee Valley's First Eleven. And while there are tensions between the countries on the sub-continent, that's just not the case at Moonee Valley - as the picture here shows. Welcoming Ihtisham are our champion Arosha Perera (left), from Sri Lanka, and chairman of selectors Amit Chaudhary (right), who came from India. When you include Joel Wilford, Kris Garland and Simon Thornton from England, you can see cricket really does make the world go round at Moonee Valley. Amit Chaudhary played a key role in liaising with Ihtisham as he worked through his visa application, and was the first person from our Club to welcome him when he arrived on November 10. I will be making changes to training, as it has become a little slack lately. From this Thursday onwards, I will be asking that all First, Second, Third, Fifth and Sixth Eleven players train twice per week until we start getting some wins on the board - especially the First and Second sides.
