brit1984 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share Posted June 20, 2012 Thanks kevjohn ... it all comes down to planning. I actually do not joke when I say the 'figurative drawers' are full. When I see something I want I salt it away for use when I need it. So, I have enough Promotional Material to use until BookMan returns and I can go back to being the 12th man.

tutsiwarrior Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 well...then tutsi sinks into a latin american historical reverie...in excavations of ceremonial sites in mesoamerica they always found ball courts and it was a ceremonial game with viewing stands and etc and then the victors would charge across the pitch to murder and abuse the vanquished... and I wondered did they have ceremonial anthems, grunts and shouts to accompany their triumph?...I sat around with my history instructor Mary and we pondered... not much has changed in 700 years...

kevjohn Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Here is something to debate whilst we wait for tutsiwarrior to entertain us with his rendition of 'take me out to the ball game' 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. When this is achieved, then the Thai society will blend into "ONE BIG TEAM", thus eradicating all the negatives that exist now. This means that the person at the bottom of the ladder will be able to climb to the top, thus, relegating the person at the top of the ladder to the bottom of the ladder. Having achieved these higher positions, these people will in turn, raise the people in the positions below them to higher positions. Again, this in turn, will relegate the people who have risen to these higher positions back to the lower positions. Now, this rotation of people rising from the lower position to the top positions and then being relegated back to the lower positions, will create a steady stream of people wishing to raise themselves from these low positions to the top positions and in so doing will create a constant desire to better oneself both financially and in self-esteem, which will eliminate the problem of “Losing Face” as everyone will have suffered this “Losing Face” due to the fact that they have been relegated from the highest position to the lowest position, at some stage in their life. So, having analysed this information, I believe that this would be one of the great potentials achieved by Thailand once cricket has become Thailand’s national sport. Just my thoughts........
