Thailand Needs Cricket

[kevjohn]

I like cricket (1 day matchs ) but since visiting Thailand i have to say Muay thai is a preferable day out, either watching it, joining a camp for fun/fitness and i think its somewhat regarded as a national sport.

Does Thailand need Muay Thai?

Does Thailand need droughts?

TV Cricket - We have our knees - for what more could one ask?

Droughts or draughts?

And.... oh dear! Someone seems to be moving in front of the sightscreen and play has been brought to a halt whilst the umpires investigate. Under the rules of the game this will mean stumps will be pulled early, the players will return to the pavilion to explain the rules to the offender and the covers will be brought out and placed for overnight protection.

I doubt if we'll see any more action today, John. John.... John, where do you think you're going?

I am speaking before I have conferred with the other team members ... but I'm taking a bit of a shine to the new batter ... richardjm65

You may not know, but I am one of the designated talent scouts in the team and I am liking your style!

May I ask "are you currently contracted elsewhere?'

We haven’t addressed yet the English speaking commentary side of the team and while I have one other in mind ... I am sure that you would be a perfect foil for each other. It's a team game we play here.

Your entertainment commentary skills are on display ... but there does remain the test of your technical understanding of the game.

Mind you ... the bar is not set very high ... about elbow high actually ...

OH ... I forgot to ask a very important question ... how are the knees?

No......the hard part is getting it to return so that you can catch it.....

The Australians passion for boomeranging may go some way to explaining their excellent fielding skills.

Maybe boomeranging should be introduced to Thailand in parallel with cricket (and cucumber sandwiches).

Well, nearly all Australians can throw a boomerang... it is part of the compulsory curriculum years 1-3. Catching, throwing, carving, History of Boomerangs.

Most schools will have a few Boomerang gangs, each with their own secret techniques they develop.

If you are unaware of the pigeon's gender, you shouldn't be so narrow minded to assume the pigeon must be a "him" or a "her"...

Don't you know this is the 21st century?

Agreed ... but 'it' sounds so impersonal.

Maybe kevjohn has a name for the bird with good knees ?

[David48]

Since we are now on a new page ... there is a reminder of the humour of Rolf Harris.

A natural set of wickets if we ever saw one.

I wonder if he had a brother with the same natural talent?

We need someone to take this to the next level of practicality. We need someone ot line up a few games for us, as it were, so to speak, and also to get the cheerleaders' costumes sorted.

Perhaps a Fixtures and Fittings secretary?

When I'm unsure of the sex of the bird I am talking about - for example, pigeons, or ladyboys, I refer to them as 'them'; just as we always use the plural 'you', rather than 'thou' even when we're talking to one person.

Technical understanding of the game is quite good, though I would need to brush up on that "Offside Rule".

You make a very tempting offer and I'd certainly like to give it my best shot but I should tell you that I am frequently called upon to do live commentary for the ladies "Nude Snooker" tournaments, (always a crowd puller), and also some of the "Advanced Ladies Beach Volleyball" fixtures. I wouldn't want them to clash.

Knees are in remarkable shape, given my age and habits.

I knew Trevor, you know. Best all-rounder Essex ever had! To watch him playing with Doug Insole - what an uplifting experience. But do excuse me, I tend to babble when I get excited.
