Beer Wench?
I guess I really haven't been keeping up with modern cricket. Reuters reports that Beer wenches lubricate cricket fans:
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Cricket-mad Aussies at the fifth Ashes test in Sydney this week made sure they missed none of the action by hiring the latest sports accessory, a "beer wench".

Instead of wasting time queueing for cooling beakers of Victoria Bitter, fans paid young women from the modelling agency Sex Bomb Promotions A$65 (23 pounds) an hour to do it for them.

Alistair Flower told The Daily Telegraph newspaper in Sydney he and his mates had hired two beer wenches, dressed in denim hot pants and tight T-shirts, for the first days of the test so they wouldn't miss any of the play.

"We were surrounded by the Barmy Army (British fans) and wanted to have a couple of glamours in our group," Flower told the paper, which labelled the cricket accessory a "beer wench".
This was the only beer wench I had heard of.

UPDATE: The Yobbo is all over this one including a link with pictures.
