Title: Pink Stumps Day
Post by: Jenko on February 07, 2014, 10:12:29 PM

Hey lads, any fellow Aussies on here get into pink stumps day? We have been doing it for years but stepped it up a notch this year, will be donning pink uniforms! Thought I'd share them here :)

We are thinking of making it our stock home strip...usually we wear navy blue as we only play one day cricket out here in the bush.

Have you found that alot of people In AUS that like cricket like AFL?

It might just be the people in yeppoon but just an observation I have made.

Any other aussies have any thoughts on this?

That's a pity because that's a seriously good comp. Would have been a good test for you.

The day was a huge success, we raised $1500 on the day and won by 150 runs! And let's be honest we all love to wear a little pink from time to time!
