MG7 CRICKET CLUB & MG WARRIORS CRICKET CLUB
|
Is a new team founded by Mahmoud Abdullah, better known as MG. Number 7, because every year MG sponsors a 7 A Side Tournament, hence MG7. The team, in this tournament will consist of players whom are social and very serious cricketers. However, their talents will probably shine more when there is a slammer session in progress. So do invite them for that, they will not let you down, because they can DOWN few drinks easily, and go on the field straight after. Both MG7 and MG Warriors are sponsored by MG for this tournament, and both teams consist of different nationalities. However, that was never a problem because they are united under the banner of "Friendship through Cricket ". ----They are here to entertain, be it slammers, or with bat or with the ball.
MG 7 were the Cup Champions in Phuket- 2012, Semi finalist in the Cup Division in Singapore-2011, 2012 & 2013,Runners-up in the Cup Division in Honkong-2012, Runners-up in the Cup Division in Phuket-2013, Runners-up in the Cup Division in Bangkok-2009, MG Warriors were the Spoon Champions in Phuket-2013, semi finalist in the Cup Division in Phuket-2011, and ended up being Runner up the coming year 2012 only to go down to Twin competitors "MG7" in the Cup Division. When team members of MG7 & MG Warriors get together, you will realize that they are loud, noisy, hard drinkers and party animals (domesticated one though).
This year MG squad is not just limited to the players. Mr. MG is bringing his entire family, wife, 4 sons & his two daughters.

Mahmoud Abdullah "MG "(Captain)
MG the Captain cool, whom frequently is been mistaken for "Al Pacino" or "Kevin Costner" not simply cause he's Handsome but also for his great sense of Humor. At 58 yrs, he's still super sonic behind the stumps and would give any teenager a run for his money. He loves his cricket & every bit of the Tradition that follows the slammer sessions, both in drinking or even being the hanging judge.

Faisal "The Dasher"
This young lad is no stranger to Thailand, and on his first trip to Phuket in 2012 he ended being a Champion (Cup Wnner-2012). Blessed with rich talent he can bowl fast and open the innings. He is better known to help Johnny at the end of the night as he is also another teetotal.

USMAN "Boom Boom -Afridi"
The new sensation in the Kuwait Cricket Arena, A very young lad his early 20's energetic & exuberant, he is super talented ….also known as Boom Boom -Afridi amongst his friends …..Merciless for his massive big hitting ….last summer he was the star at the "Phuket Cricket festival-2013"…watch out for this Lad
|
Bharat Arkas "The Big Bang"
Purely talented for anything that cricket has to offer (Be it Batting or Fielding & not to forget Even Wicket keeping). It's hard to describe Bhari as a cricketer as he's the busiest player on the field .he seems pretty calm & quiet by nature with a silent smile , but is a perfect game finisher. Exciting talent .
|
Imran "The Professor"
A supremely gifted cricketer, he is far too smart to out fox the batsmen with his left arm unorthodox spin & his mystery variations. The best Fielder on board with hands as safe as a bank safe deposit, his power packed batting only amazes the talent & skill this all-rounder possess. A few drinks bottoms up & we get to meet the English professor in him that preaches wisdom full of humor….
|
Mewlyn "Alvin"
A very dedicated cricketer whom will never say no to a game of cricket on a any day of the week; he is known to hit one handed sixes. And as for his spin bowling it has more variations then the fingers on one's hands. However, he is better known for his drinking sessions with MG. With these two around, you should definitely invite them for a "slammer session ". NO! Is not a word in their dictionary when drinking starts. They can Party all night
|
Asim "Our Englishmen"
Extremely lazy, slow as always in the midst of cricketing actions, prefers opening the batting and bowling but the team thinks the other way around lolzzz…. An evergreen cricketer who only wishes to engrave a tattoo in English some day (which his slim body never permits ...(hehe) In the day light he enjoys changing the Score board & after dawn he confuses the bartenders with his extra ordinary English .
|
Ostine (Roy) "The Rock Star "
Elegant as Mark Waugh (Batting Style) with the "High Handle Grip" makes stroke play & batting look so easy, often mistaken as "VIN DIESIL " for his hot looks & crazy dance moves … The only place you will find Roy is at the "BAR" when the bat's not in his hand….Cheers .
|
Casino "CAS "
Don't ever gamble against CAS. This All rounder has so plenty of batting varieties, chicky dabs & skiers clearing the grounds with great ease. Has won many games single handedly. His leg spin is always a mystery. He happens to be the most talkative person cheering on the field. Likes to drink and party too, so it is not that all gloom and doom.
|
Simon "King of the Swing "
S for Simon, S for Swing! A shy dude with a shy smile, popularly known as the " King of the Swing " as he literally makes the ball talk when he is bowling offering plenty of swing. A safe and agile fielder & no mug with bat either. He is not only busy sharing a joke, but will also share plenty of drinks. (Don't be surprised if u see Simon swinging in the evening after a few drinks..hehe)
|
Unni -The Big Daddy "Our- Entertainer "
A guy with a never say "NO" attitude towards any thing thrown to him, extremely cheerful, helpful & a total team player …. Funny & smiling as always cheering the team with a buzz, a talented bowler but a very reliable Drinker, never to drop a catch (opps…I mean a bottle of Chivas thrown to him), he loves challenging the batsmen.
|
Murad Khan "The Birmingham Express"
Popular as "Muri" amongst his friends, a comedian by nature but don't be lured by his Hollywood - Tom Cruise Looks. A perfect Killer all-rounder any skipper would bet on, a skillful bowler with fierce pace but even more dangerous with the willow in his hand .no ground is big for this lad as he believes in only one numeric digit "6" when he bats. Let's wait to see what's on show this summer. (Wasim Akram happens to be his role model)
|
Rohan Bane "Mr. Dependable"
A Perfect All-rounder, best known as "The wall" not for his physical structure, lol!!..But for his patience in the middle to grind the bowlers, very reliable and the "GO to Man" when the chips are down ….carries a big hitting reputation. Bowls with lively pace & the also of the quickest when it comes to fielding ….
