Thailand Needs Cricket

[harrry]

Well all the water they thow during Songran must go somewhere.

The cricket fields can double as swimming pools. That way ,the team, has an income all year.

Great idea

The cheerleaders can perform their Synchronised Swimming routines.

any ideas on Swimming uniform?

Plenty of ideas but doubt I could put them here..........but then again, maybe a one piece could be a good idea.

Well I will leave you to control the pitch for a while. Going to lay down for a bit.

Must bring this to Little Brothers attention. He's our money man. (Bookman , Please note)...ah, now that's done.

Not a problem. Will close shop here, too, as it is almost 1am.

'I didn't know that you knew my wife.....'

hey...my wife is 'kick ass' as well but don't let her know that I told you...she runs a tight ship around here, like Captain Bligh she sidles up to muntinous nieces and sneers: 'are you tryin' to take advantage of yer uncle tutsi again? hmmm?' and 'I'll stick that mobile phone down yer throat yew ungrateful little bitch!...' and then tutsi sez: 'darling, darling please ease up as they are just kids...'

After a good nights sleep and then catching up on the housework..... I have discovered that the Boss is a little perplexed re the sex of aliens..... See here

I hope this does not distract him from the fantastic job that he is doing in promoting why "Thailand Needs Cricket".......

I am sure we can find a way to accommodate these friendly people into the team thus eliminating any conflict that may occur....

For team member who may have problems seeing like me,

then there is still hope for us to be able to enjoy a game of cricket, as this clip may prove.

Indeed, I am wondering about the gender of an alien...

Sometimes you have to stop,and clear the line to make it safe for everyone.

This thread is about cricket, and the benefits of cricket to Thailand, and the TV Cricket team.

If there's more work required than the driver can complete in a few moments, we may have to call in the Engineers to remove some posts that seem to be obstructing traffic, but we are rightly proud, on this thread, that so far that has not proved necessary.

Right; now let's proceed with caution.

And if I can suggest that for some of our bigger games, we might want to charter a train for supporters, though in the meantime, we have enough to worry about with the logisitics of the cheerleaders, and the coach, and the cheerleaders' bus, and the groundsmen's roller, not to mention the enetertainment crew's double-decker in the pantechnicon.

Luckily we have a sponsor bigger than Eddie Stobart - SoThaiSpa

and some innovative team tactics - not least two batsmen at the crease and about thirty in the field

OK

I think that's safe to proceed now

StreetCowboy.

I am reluctant to post this as so far this has been an outstanding thread with many interesting comments. Your rare posts are valued but as far as I am aware no-one appointed you defacto moderator. I object to your veiled referance to calling the engineers as you put reporting this thread. Do so if you wish but reflect that one of the great benefits of this thread has been in generating friendships. In that it has succeeded in most cases.

If you do not like this thread there is a simple answer and that is stay out.

I hope you do not but I hope you remember you do not own this thread and you have absolutely no right to try to control me or anyone else,.

Have come across another problem and wondering if cricket is the cure.

It is the hassles that arise when it comes to the kids borrowing the car.

Example.

Daughter “Dad, I need the car”

Dad “Why, where’s yours?

Daughter “Lent it to the girlfriend”

Dad “Why”

Daughter “She lent her car to her girlfriend”

Dad “So what”

Daughter “Dad…Please”

Dad “No …..I’m lending my car to myself”

And then it starts.

So, any tips on how cricket can solve, similar car problems such as this, will be gratefully received.

Playing cricket improves health and fitness, and thus encourages one to walk for short trips. Also, as any batsman knows when the umpires give you the finger you must respect their authority and walk.

Cricket also discourages those longer road-trips because just as much joy can be had from the adventure of compiling (or watching a world class batsman like Alastair Cook compile) a big innings.

[harrry]

Well the cricket answer would be to hold one finger in the air and watch her walk away. Not sure if that will work with daughters though. Might just result in another hand signal.

On secret weapon that I have is "You, want the car you, wash the car". Works 99% of the time.

The other 1% is when I lend it to myself.

Is this why I sit in front of my computer 24/7 watching our team compile a big innings?

Cant drive, and its only a short walk from the kettle to the computer.

And you complain about me drinking coffee. Only way to stay awake

More than that harry. You would never see me back here.

Another thread about cricket here.

I'll let one of you spinners bowl over there to lend your support, but I don't mind bowling over in the roller to give you a lift if you need transport.

If you were to enjoy a leisurely afternoon of Cricket in the UK it might be a scene like this …

[David48]

Maybe Village Cricket played by Poms over there might look like this in the States ...

Edited June 23, 2012 by David48

[David48]

So, lets presume for a moment that the game of Cricket has ingratiated itself into the Thai lifestyle and has proven particularly popular in the Issan Villages being embraced as a game for all classes of Thai Society.

So in the Area where has been a Western influence maybe it would look like this ...

Edited June 23, 2012 by David48

[David48]

But in the areas where there is more affordable housing maybe like this ...

Edited June 23, 2012 by David48

[David48]

Once embraced by the village and the rain has stopped and a large flat area can be found then maybe this scene may emerge ...

Edited June 23, 2012 by David48

[tutsiwarrior]

those kids with the bats look like murderers...

[harrry]

Well we could introduce cricket to the vocational schools I guess.

Great image, except the umpire in shorts. I don't agree with that.
