The CRAS reached their quest for World One-Day
cricket supremacy. Their current record stands at 22 wins
and 5 losses.
Their victims include the West Indian XI, the Pakistan XI, the
South African XI, and the English XI.
The
team is based in London, England and are made up of Aussies
currently living in London. The CRAS, or "Carl Rackemann All Stars", are named after the
great Australian fast bowler himself, Carl "Mocca"
Rackemann. He is our mentor and inspiration to play the
great game of cricket.

Tour Manager's Early
Fame Overlooked - Until Now!
(3/02/04)
Long before Bobby
Hicks modeling days began, the CRAS's own Tour Manager Aids was
appearing on television commercials for a company in Australia.
The Tour Manager is still receiving royalties and his photo can be
seen on
Lube Mobile's website even today. It is rumored the
profit he makes from these royalties will be spent on
opening a Belushi's Bar in Sydney and suing his hair dresser at
the time - check out that crazy do....
