Thailand Needs Cricket

[kevjohn]

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!

I don't think the Thais would stop loving their cricket especially when they learn the other benefits

from having all this cricket equipment.

It seems that play has been stopped for a while due to ice in australia and the usual weather in the UK.

I've got the Cricket Coffee with the 43? beans and the cucumber sandwich, but it's too cold for the crickets.

They jump off the sandwich and hide before I get the top slice of bread on.

I did try to putting some in microwave to warm em up but they all burnt.

If Thailand had cricket it could give people something to watch as they persue their prefered method of retirement like that of this person.

I've often been asked, 'What do you do now that you're retired?'

Well...I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine and whisky into urine.

It's rewarding, uplifting, satisfying and fulfilling. I do it every day and I really enjoy it."

You do better than me. I can only convert "Cricket" coffee with the 43? beans.....but I can do it fairly regularly.

No it isn't me

my conversion is on the Aribica beans grown in the the hights of Doi Luang. Picked by dusky vestal virgins and roasted to the complextion of an Issan maiden.

I pick mine from the shelf in the supermarket. That explains why mine doesn't have the same flavor as yours.

Good ta see our driver back. Did you bring some of the team?

Only way Harry and I could keep adding runs was over a cup of coffee.

Need to get some more team members back into play.

It seems that play has been stopped for a while due to ice in australia and the usual weather in the UK.

The UK weather is in Bangkok today... miserable... not much chance of any play here today

Great photo... obviously there will be some resistance to cricket but eventually (by 2042) the Thai people will be fully in love with cricket and wouldn't dream of using their balls for anything else.

As the Thai people are so good at recycling, I do think they will re-use old cricket equipment for other purposes... wearing an old cricket helmet while riding a motorbike is safer than not wearing any helmet.

Does this mean that there will be a dramatic increase, in nine months time, of the number of Bangkok's future Cheer Leaders and Cricket players?

Should be right on cue for 2042.

The new batsman should be out of the pavilion in about 6 weeks. He is just getting padded up. The pavilion is doing fine as well, although some repair work may be needed later in the year.
