Yes folks, this is your chance to have Jukka Halme sent to Australia. And probably New Zealand as well. I can’t promise that he won’t come back, but you never know.

The reason for this is that Jukka is standing for GUFF, the fan fund that sends fans from Europe to the other end of the world. To find out how to vote for him to go, check out this fine web page put together by this year’s Administrator, Mihaela Marija Perkovic.

It appears that Jukka is the only candidate this year, but you do still need to vote if you want him to go. The other option is for the funds from this year’s race to be held over to a later date. Some people may think that the Aussies and Kiwis are better than everyone else at enough sports already, without Jukka teaching them to play ice hockey. And the Aussie authorities might be concerned about their people becoming addicted to Strange Finnish Food as a result of his visit. Who can tell?

Anyway, good luck, Jukka, mate. I expect you to come back able to play cricket.
