Maybe he would like to retire in Thailand and help setup the Thailand needs cricket (Two Knees) team.

Does he have two knees?

He would if he eats pancakes, plain omelettes and hot chocolate, for breakfast.

Could always have mother in law eggs, sticky rice and a good shot of sansom here.

With one of your coffees.......thumbsup.gif

Has it been that long allready.

We will really have to start at looking at new transport options for the Thailand Needs Cricket (Two Knees) team. The baby seat will not last for ever. Time for a booster seat isn;t it.

I think Google are celebrating the Thailand Needs Cricket (two knees) team.

Must say the wicket keeper does have the two knees......smile.png

...and went on to score 175 not out off 66 balls... and took 2 wickets from the 1 over he bowled... not bad... but can we find a space for him in our team?

brit1984, good to see you back!

Gave that a miss, harrry....their two knees would not support me....sad.png

Contrary to information posted to date, I'm told crickets have six knees, rather than two, regardless of to which national team they belong

That kind is rare in Thailand as every time one is seen it is eaten.

Forgot to mention David48 is currently training up a pair of brothers who will indubitibly take their place in thai cricket like the Warne Brothers....hopefully without the SMS messages.

Maybe, but they might have also gone and visited the world-cup-hotties-you-choose-the-winner

Nice way to spend 5 or so minutes ... rolleyes.gif
