Cricket In Phuket

[InspectorGadget]

I guess I missed the season this year

I used to play in a sunday afternoon league in the UK and I can't bear to spend the rest of my life without being able to take my bat in my hand and give those balls a good wallop. I was looking around for cricket options in Phuket and found phuketcricket.com

Are there a lot of teams in Phuket? And what is the standard? Is there a lot of competition for places? Is it all 6s or 11-a-side games too? For me it's a chance to have a bit of competitive cameraderie and get to know a few people doing one of the things I love.

Would be interested to hear from anyone who knows anything...

I think you can do this most any day in Patong. Not just Sunday.

Yep, there is cricket in Phuket. We (Phuket Cricket Union or PCU) recently finished our 2nd season of the local League in April. This consists of 4 teams with skill levels that cover the entire spectrum. We also go on tours to other places within Thailand & abroad & also host incoming sides, the next one being a bunch of lads from Zimbabwe who are coming back for the second year in a row. They return in July so weather permitting we'll get a game or 2 with them, else its off to Soi Bangla to talk up what could've been. You have the web-site correct www.phuketcricket.com which is in the middle of being updated/upgraded. If you want more info & to be kept up-to-date with cricket in Phuket, PM me & I'll add you to the PCU e-mail list & let you know the next time we give our balls a good walloping.

Cheers
