Thailand Needs Cricket

[harrry]

well I hope the mechanics are not as thick as one geologist I worked with.....read the toyota manual and saw hubs were to be be tighten to xx newton./ metre and loosened all the nuts to the the same in foot/pounds.......wondered why the wheel fell off.

[kevjohn]

Probably enough to keep me awake for another hour.

Lost count after I used up all me fingers.

good thing you didnt take your shoes off too count more....it isn't thailand there.

Too cold to take the shoes off. Only reason I could use me fingers was that I had gloves on and not mittens.

At the moment 2 degrees

oooooo sorry for you

I get cold when it gets to 20

Yeah.......Look at the temp in Non Thai

Seems OK ...

For anyone interested, I had a flat in the car last week ... actually a valve problem.

When they replaced it I asked them how much air they put in the front of my passenger car ... the equivalent of say a Ford Mondeo from the UK ... 38 PSI was the reply.

Happy as larry with that as I usually run between 36 - 40 psi for longer tyre life and better fuel consumption ... though I admit the ride is a touch harsher.

From a promotional aspect we did receive this ...

Great on style ... but worried that the hair might not be suitable for the open air Double Decker Supporters Bus?

These 3 Lassies made a strong application however ...

I had held them back for this reason ... We don't have a collective policy on visible tattoos.

Look again .. I missed the first time!

I was making sure that the Logo presented here looked very close to bkk, but it is actually blk ... shame.

So we do have a dilemma.

Tattoos are an integral part of Thai life, whether we like them or not.

We are trying to ingratiate Cricket into Thai Culture, but if we ban tattoos then it might be seen a restrictive policy.

Yes tattoos are indeed a divisive issue.

On the one hand, a tattoo could also be seen a label of bravery (I certainly would never do get one) and of course bravery helps a batsman to deal with short balls. A bowler bowling to a batsman with a tattoo may feel worried that the batsman has no fear and hence will ball a standard line and length bowl through fear that a more attacking ball could be hit for a boundary. Likewise, if a bowler with tattoos on his arms (or even face) was running in to bowl, most batsman would (or at least I would) be more inclined to poo in one's pants that when a bowler without a tattoo is coming into bowl. The fear that could be engendered upon the opposition could well contribute to success. Famous cricketers with tattoos such as Kevin Pietersen are an example of this phenomenon.

On the other hand, a tattoo could be seen as a sign of reckless or rebellious attitude, neither of which are generally considered suitable attributes for a cricketer. Having a tattoo could encourage a batsman to try to hit balls pitched outside off to the leg side (as Kevin Pietersen) does. Likewise, a bowler with a tattoos (or tattoos) may bowl excessively short pitched deliveries and become expensive (in terms of run-rate).

Overall, I think tattoos should be permitted but not encouraged for cricketers.

Whether non-playing members of the cricket club should be allowed tattoos will require further thought.

Hummm ... it appears that the more prolific run makers boycotted the tattoo balls delivered and let them go through to the keeper with nary a change in batting stance ... apart from the vital protection of their stumps.

Of course there was always the drinks break ...

[David48]

Before BookMan returns to the crease, I would like to discuss one more issue.

What if the attempt, despite our good efforts Thailand decides that it really doesn't need nor want Cricket?

What would be the outcome then?

They experimented, they embraced, enjoyed then ultimately rejected the game (there's a metaphor in there kevjohn) ...

So what would Thailand do with these new found skills and now unusable equipment?

Would it look like this?

EDIT:- Nice to see a healthy buffalo at work!
