| Our first international game was played against the Singapore Wombats in October 1995 at the Cibubur Cricket Ground, with the Singapore Wombats giving the Bintangs a thorough hiding (21 16 142 to 5 8 38). The Wombats presented themselves as a fit, fast running side that obviously trains and plays quite a lot. At the very least they all had the same coloured football guernsey on, and for the most part matching shorts and sox. The Bintangs had gone the whole hog and t-shirts with 'Save the Sumatran Tiger' on the front (still not sure where they came from !) and 'Jakarta Bintangs' printed on the back were as good as we looked. Despite the alcoholic fog induced by the copious amounts of 'Bintang' consumed on the previous night (this has now become part of the Jakarta Bintangs match strategy), the Wombats belied their adopted name on the field (but certainly lived up to it in table manners and horticulture off the field !). |
