"K" keeper......as in wicket-keeper

Although as we are talking about Thailand needs cricket...a keeper is one you don't throw away?

Should I get my coat?

What happened to J?... jumper

J could also be for

Jaffa (also corker)

An exceptionally well bowled, practically unplayable delivery, usually but not always from a fast bowler. Taken from the idea that a 'Jaffa' is the best type of Orange.

Or getting down to something a little more closer....

Jockstrap (also jock strap)

Underwear for male cricketers, designed to securely hold a cricket box in place when batting or wicket keeping.

M is for maiden

N is for not-out

O is for out

Remember we are trying to build and 'A B C' style book for teaching Thai Children a very early love an understanding of Cricket ... so maybe suggestions could reflect that?

We are thinking of your yet unborn Cricket XI Team.

But I did like your use of the K is for Knees ... post-104736-0-00891400-1339972306_thumb.

"F" is for Fielders as well as 4.''

Maybe kevjohn you have found your specialist niche.

Double points for double use 'fieldsmen' and 'four'

Lucky I could count to 4. If it had been, 5, I would have had to start on the toes......sad.png

Thanks boss......I take my floppy green off to you.

You are so much quicker between the wickets than me, myself and I all rolled into one.

Running between the wickets is all about reactions, decision-making and communication.

As soon as the ball leaves the bat you must both decide whether or not it is your call.

If the ball is behind square it is the non-strikers call, or vice-versa.

If it is your call you need to make a quick decision whether a run is possible.

Immediately make a loud and clear call to your batting partner.

Only three calls should be used... "yes", "no" or "waiting".

Great advice and agree 100%

But I'm afraid it's stumps for this little black duck.

Can't keep my eye on the ball at the moment.

Cheers!

Is this our first "Duck" as a result of "Bad Light"?

Obviously SC never taught you how to count.

When you are 20 you can sometimes count up to 6 knees ... biggrin.png

When you are 40 you can sometimes count up to 4 knees ... smile.png

When you are 60 you can sometimes count up to 2 knees ... tongue.png

When you are 80 you sometimes usually can't anymore ... ermm.gif

Hummm ... for someone who knew little about Cricket ... your knowledge has increased significantly!

Have you had a wee bit of Internet coaching?

I like the way you say "When you are 60 you can sometimes count up to 2 knees"

That give me a lot of hope.

Now......Must off to go do my house work.

I would add one more to that list ... judgement.

For example, my partner can make a firm decision to run ... but his/her judgement maybe poor resulting in one of us being run-out.

While waiting for the washing to cook, how about

"Q" for Quota

Quota

The total number of overs (maximum 10) allotted to a bowler in an ODI, or any limited overs match. Typically total overs in the innings divided by 5, rounded to next highest integer. Maybe someone can explain, all this, to me.

Then most time you can count your gf's / wife's 2 knees, but not your own.

Maybe kevjohn, you might want to let the other kids play for a while (develops a conversation in a thread) with the Cricketing Alphabet for Thai Children.

SO maybe you can focus on helping them count!

I'll start with 1 ... post-104736-0-06051200-1339975820_thumb.

Anyway ... the early alphabet is always the easiest ... tongue.png

Yes ... I did let myself go there for a few years.

But then I rediscovered Cricket, was selected to Run the Pitch ... not Roll the Pitch ... and can count 4 knees again ... thumbsup.gif

Is a jumper more athletic than a runner?

J is for Jaunty Roads - I think they take you to where the Country Roads take you home from...
