The Mullet Bash for Te Omanga Hospice

A guest post by Belv:

Dear Kiwibloggers,
 
On Sunday 3 March a Parliament XI will be taking on Wellington’s Eastern Suburbs Roosters in the ultimate compete for cash charity T20 match – the Mullet Bash. 
 
The feature event of the Roosters’ fundraiser in support of Te Omanga Hospice, the local lads will be rocking homegrown mullets carefully sculptured from a catalogue of international cricket’s most famous lids. Think Boon, Botham, Warne, Ranatunga, Gower and Morrison from their glory days, with matching physiques, a bit less plumage and substantially less talent.
The Parliament XI is set to be co-captained by Hutt South MP Chris Bishop and Mana MP Kris Faafoi, with the full line-up yet to be leaked to the media. 
The Mullet Bash is a compete for cash game, with every run hit (thanks TAB) and wicket taken (thanks Senate SHJ) worth real dollars. Though that money is currently directed at the Roosters efforts and we are reluctant to share our hard earned bounty with the MPs. If there are any businesses or flush individuals out there willing to sponsor the Parliament XI’s batting and bowling efforts (probably won’t cost you much) then we want to hear from you.
Or you can donate to the cause individually. We’ll take your money anyway it comes. And if you have any decent (good-humoured) sledges for the MPs then leave them in the comments and we might steal them.

A big shout out to the team at Stun who did our design work and Carve Barbershop who are tasked with the biggest job of all – shaping our mullets.
