Thailand Needs Cricket

Featured Replies

Is there any limit to Thailand's potential once cricket becomes the national sport?

No limits at all. After cricket becomes the national sport, Thailand can export cucumber sandwiches,

with a dash of cricket paste, to Australia.

That would give Thailand great potential by increasing it export market 200+%.

I think we would have clearly defined boundaries, with a rope laid around the edge.

No limits? no boundaries? No 4s and 6s? We'd be at sixes and sevens, so we would.

I bet our best cricketers would end up doing a runner.

Know your boundaries,

and play beyond them

What.....to beat the crickets to the cucumber sandwiches?

yeah, man...cucumber sandwiches and pretentions of civilization in white flannels is too much to bear...

Sometimes a photo captures a moment.

Not that the photo lies.

The implication is not the reality, still interesting though ...

I wonder what Cricket in Thailand will deliver for the snap happy Thai's ?

Sometimes there is a problem with the older spectators.

This seems to be one way of removing them when they invade the crease.

Sorry harry

I saw the errors of my ways.

Is it normal in Australian cricket to have two batsmen at the crease at the same time? Or is the fella with the walking stick a runner because the chap in the pads is a bit frail? I was surprised when someone posted the Australian fielding plan, with about 30 positions on it, but two batsmen does seem excessive. The lead batsman's bat seems a bit thin, as well, though I like his action

Now moving along re “Thailand's potential” once cricket becomes the national sport.

The way I see it, with cricket being the National Sport, it will be integrated into the Thai way of life.

This will be achieved by including cricket in the school curriculum as Plopmeister has started to do.

When this is achieved, then Thai society will blend into One BIG team, thus eradicating all the negatives that exist now.

Does not the OP say

I think it is really an umpire who because of his aging years has had to move closer to the action to see.

I'm only a learner, SC, but I do think that we can be "a little excessive" when it come to two batsmen.....at one end.

I can imagine the photo now... important cricket match in the background (maybe Thailand cruising to victory against Australia) and a grinning teenage girl in the foreground showing two-fingers (in the friendly way)...

If anyone reading this thread voted "yes" in the recent poll about being scared to post on TV, I would just like to say do not be afraid... this is a friendly thread...

Tell us what you think about Thailand's problems, the game of cricket, and how the latter can fix the former...

Sorry, work, and the proximity of Cheers to the Client's office, have combined to limit my internet time-wasting.
