I thought it would be a good idea to begin a thread dedicated to cricket. A place to post results, schedules, comments & banter. We have one for NFL & AFL, lets get Cricket into the mix!

Great Idea

Though as some of us Aussies have a history of "sledging" I trust that it will only of a comical or tongue in cheek nature.

Cricket season in Phuket normally kicks off in January with the Island Furniture Cricket League and runs through to June. This season there were 5 teams from around the island and rumours are there will be 7 for next season. The comp is organised by the Phuket Cricket Union (PCU). www.phuketcricket.com

All teams in the League are always after new 'talent' as well as people with experience as umpires/scorers. The comp is what I would call semi-serious with the whole range of talent on display. Apart from the fun aspect of the game, the League is also used to select a team to represent Phuket at the Thailand Inter-Regional Tournament where we go up against teams from Bangkok, Chiang Mai + Khon Kaen where cricket is also very popular. The Inter-Regional tournament normally takes place in February each year.

Saying all that though we try to play as often as possible, weather permitting. At the moment we play at a ground at a Thai school in the Cherng Talay area every Sunday, again depending on the weather. We also recently constructed a cricket net facility there. We occasionally play at the Karon Stadium where the Phuket Cricket Sixes (www.phuketsixes.com) has been held for the last 5 years and we plan on running a Twenty/20 comp there before the end of the year.

We also plan to go on tour to KL next month to play a couple of teams down there + possibly to Chiang Mai before the end of the year. And next year, apart from the League, the 2009 Phuket Sixes + the Thailand Inter-Regional Tournament to look forward to, it looks like we will have a few teams from Aussie, Malaysia + the UK popping in for a few games and a few beers as well.

If anyone is interested in getting into a local team, feel free to PM else refer to the PCU web-site.

Cheers
