Hope every one has enjoyed it as much as me.

Has opened up a whole new world to me when it comes to, discussing, nothing about cricket.

There was a whole page of material to discuss.

You had ...

Thai Visa Cricket ... diversifying the Economic base of Thailand

THAILAND ... Asia's new Cricketing Hub

Thai Visa Cricket ... adding to Thailand’s Hubs

Thailand … the Hub of Intergenerational Cultural Exchanges

Racism and Cricket

... and we got three pages of Coffee, Red Fanta and Lamb with mint sauce ...

The symbolic 3,000th post made by harrry recounting his Hospital trip ...

* sigh *

Yes, I'm like this guy for the moment... not very jai yen

Just a small aside to kevjohn ... you were ever a fan of the old style drink (which I was) of creaming soda ... Red Fanta ... same but slightly different.

Thai Visa Cricket Team 1.2 ... same but (slightly) different.

New upgraded version (1.2) now with two eyes

Foot note for Clarification.

I happen to like coffee very much. My mate who I went to watch the game with last night, his daughter actually has a coffee van and they import coffee cups into the Australian market.

Red Fanta is very refreshing

And I happen to like Lamb with Mint Sauce

And harrry, your Hospital story did make me warmly smile.

For some fun I bowled into the UK Pensions post and nicked their 1,000 post and promoted this

But some days later, some previous posts were deleted and the entry was the 998th posting ... but the point was made ... don't ignore the fact that Cricket is important to Thailand!

So, my time here is coming to a close and the drawers are slowly being emptied.

Let me have a poke around and what I can find in the bottom drawer on the left side.

Maybe symbolism isn't your guys go?

This was a classic moment for England ...

I wonder what Thailand's classic moment will be?

Do agree with you re the old flavored creaming soda. Was a good drink.

My favorite is ginger beer. Love that Bundaberg ginger beer.

Made, many a ginger beer brew, when on the farm.

Wake up to the sounds of bottles exploding.

Ahhh.....the good old days.

Speaking of Scoreboards.

Some specially designed for ChonBuri ...

[krisb]

If cricket became a national sport in Thailand it would just be another country Australia would smash. I suppose then all the poms in Thailand would have something in common!!!

[David48]

While I have the Scoreboard up ... Thailand, Terrorism and Cricket.

maybe if you wwere not spending your time trying to get runs in other threads YOU could have been 3000

[David48]

^^ harrry to reply to your above comment would lower the tone of this thread, so I will humbly agree that your statement above is correct.

Always play with a straight bat ...

So, may we now get back to the Cricket Score?

ps ... thanks to kevjohn for agreeing with harrry and Liking his comment.

Hmmmm..Wonder what a Thai batsmen would do when the Wickie whispers quietly that he fcuked his wife the night before.........

I don't think they could cope with sledging.

Cricket doesn't do well in countries that have a "face" culture.

I see cricket as a solution to such cultural imperfections

Spoken like a true Pommie. England, during its history of colonisation, considered it a responsibility to wipe out cultural imperfections of her subject nations around the globe, welcomed or not.

Thank you for your contribution and for adding a historical context. As discussed earlier in the thread, the fact that Thailand has never been colonised means that their society lacks a certain perspective that only an outsider can provide.

We will of course have to convince the Thai government that the effect on Thailand of introducing cricket will be positive, before they add it to the national school curriculum. Bringing an end to the "face" culture is arguably one of the biggest potential benefits.

Who are the #1 Test cricket team in the world?...

I love lamb with mint sauce

[brit1984]

With the process of cleaning out the drawers ... this one was marked miscellaneous.

So for the next few posts, shots to all over the field.

Once Thailand develops a deep love of Cricket, maybe they develop their own special bat designs within International Standards.

They even could produce a version of the Sponsors bat ...

Thai Visa Cricket ... diversifying the Economic base of Thailand

Indeed, Thailand could manufacturer cricket bats, balls, pads, boxes, caps, whites, cucumber sandwiches, umpires' coats, wicketkeepers' gloves, cricket nets, bowling machines and scoreboards...

Anything else?...

[brit1984]

Speaking of Hubs ... there was a news article recently that Thailand had also become a Medical Hub.

So, with that in mind ...

Thai Visa Cricket ... adding to Thailand’s Hubs

Indeed, we need to think about partnerships with various tourism operators. For example, local English village cricket teams could combine a cricket tour of Thailand with some cultural experiences... any more ideas?

I hope you don't mind I am using that wonderful image you posted as my new avatar

Not manufacture but, produce, excellent cricketers.

No problems brit1984 ... as you know I've made a few Avatars for the members here and found others on the internet to use and I am sure that it suits you perfectly.

If you actually want one designed specificially for you, give me an idea of the background image and the words/slogan you want and I'll mock something up for you ... or carry on with what you have now.

Funny though ... the first one I made was for this thread, and the 2^nd for SC ... and they remain my two favourites.

[David48]

Speaking of manufacturing ... the top draw on the right hand side of the desk is stuffed full of T-Shirts.

'Hook or 'Pull' ... I went with the Cricket Hookers ... better then the other option.

Note to Mods reading this particular:- A hook shot in Cricket is named as the shot that one pulls to 'off-side' of the players natural stance ... same as in Gold, when you 'hook' the ball.

Perhaps they could manufacture statistics.

Always come in handy in cricket, statistics do.
