Thailand Needs Cricket

[StreetCowboy]

Hey ... changing the subject a little ... where is Kevjohn?

I sort of miss him diligently scrawling away over a hot desk and a coffee, while I'm kicking back with a beer.

He bowled an honest over.

He hasn't joined JT and gone to play that 'other' game, has he?

I'd sort of be a little dissapointed if he was all of a sudden batting for the other side.

Baseball is just not Cricket !

Want to know more about

Fish Farms or a simple Australian Visa Application ?

I thought JT, our fitness coach, had taken KevJohn in hand, to stiffen his resolve, so to speak.

While I assume KevJohn is running a mile...

Which reminds me...What about the 'Match Review Committee'...?.

I can do the commentary, if you like.

It doesn't require quite the same fleetness of fingers as trying to keep up with the rugby league.

In computer networking, IP over Avian Carriers (IPoAC) is a proposal to carry Internet Protocol (IP) traffic by birds such as homing pigeons. IP over Avian Carriers was initially described in RFC 1149, a Request for Comments (RFC) issued by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) written by D. Waitzman and released on 1 April 1990. It is one of several April Fools' Day RFCs.

Waitzman described an improvement of his protocol in RFC 2549, IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service (1 April 1999). Later, in RFC 6214 released on 1 April 2011, and 13 years after the introduction of IPv6, Carpenter and Hinden published Adaptation of RFC 1149 for IPv6.^[1]

Harry...Your wealth of knowledge amazes me.....

Having broken the 1000 post barrier is anyone willing to make a prediction of how long it will take to get to 19000 and beat the apparently longest other thread. I know cricket is a slow game but will it take us several years like that one.

I think we probably already hold the record for the longest thread without post disapearances.

At the current run-rate we should pass the 19,000 landmark early in 2013

However, as anyone who watches movies knows, most of us will die during 2012

You do realize cricket has the (accurate) image as a sport of COMMONWEALTH nations? Thais have this kind of "thing" about not ever being colonized by the west.

That is exactly why this plan will work; the open-minded Thais have infinite potential to reap the benefits from cricket

Conversely, you have identified why the introduction of cricket would be met with too much resistance to be effective in fixing America

Thanks again for your interest in this thread (and implicitly your support for my wider underlying plan)

Given your determination to identify potential pitfalls, maybe you would like to answer the following question...

Are there are problems / imperfections with Thailand that cannot be fixed by cricket?...
