The last time anyone mentioned Everest at the Wick it was someone trying to sell Keith double glazing. DBW said he'd knock some up and that was the last we heard of it. Now one intrepid Wick Man has worn the shirt (there's always been some pink in the badge) at Everest Base Camp.
Phil "Milkybar" Linter can be seen here at quite a few thousand feet. The renowned club day umpire and 3xi spearhead is on a round-the-worlder and recently uploaded this snap to update us all. Luckily its so cold he has had to keep his hands in his pockets - something which Wick batsmen will be delighted to see.
Everest, as keen geographers will know, is not so far from Bangladesh. If (see previous posts) Bangla fans are annoyed at some of the umpiring decisions of Tucker et al out there, we should ask Splints to drop by for the second test. A couple of sessions with him and they would truly know the pain of poor umpiring.
