Seems OK ... post-104736-0-02433700-1340578349_thumb.

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.

Either that, or the picked up some decent maintenance people, from the "Thailand Needs Cricket" thread.

I hope that's not going to affect the performance of our roller

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.

Dealing with the vital issues

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.

A birds on each knee

and toucans in your hands

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 ... ermm.gif

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) ... whistling.gif

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

post-104736-0-51639200-1340658575_thumb.

Would it look like this?

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