StreetCowboy Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Streetcowboy.....I notice from your avatar that you now look a little bow legged. Is this due to the positioning of the knees so that you can accomodate 2 cheer squad leaders? Precisely. That's the sort of perceptive attention to detail that makes the difference between 'good' and 'just tops!' SC Does that mean I have an eye for detail?..... Yes indeed. For future humourous impact, I would suggest an eye for detal. Remember - 'observation' is our watch word SC TV Cricket - See the knees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuturatica Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 In response to phuturatica's posts #1478 and #1490. Ah! dear, dear phuturatica, pardon, but your slip is showing. You scrambled to the top of that wall at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground, (almost holy territory, some might say), not once, but often, then peeped over, your little face flushed with the exertion of the climb and the anticipation of what might be revealed, but lacking the knowledge required to fully appreciate the loveliness of the scene below you, you failed to be amused. That is so, so sad. Had you no helpful brothers? And of course, by posting in this thread you are once again peeping over the wall. Go on now - let the tears flow - it's safe to admit it here. But this time, being a bit braver, you're subconsciously seeking to be admitted to cricket's hallowed halls, to meekly bow the knee and seek the very knowledge you were too scared to ask for when you were but a little girl. How fortunate that you happened on this thread, for here are the very finest of the men who would lead you out of the darkness and Into The Light! Welcome, phuturatica, you have taken a very important step in life's journey - one that you will never forget! Hahaha! Fair play, I'll give you that one. Educate me in the rules of cricket and how it all works and I'll see what all the fuss is about. Then if I like it, I'll take back my words! I only ever sat on that wall when I was younger because it was exciting and naughty and the excitement got me every time when the police officer came and we had to jump down and run off.

BookMan Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I do have some issues I am hoping Cricket can help Thailand with actually. I am reasonably sure they haven't yet been addressed. The issues are all food . The first issue is Donuts. In particular Mister Donuts. I find the dough not to my liking, Is it baked or something? I really don't know but they just aren't right. Also, and I cannot be 100% certain, but the inside Donut hole might be slightly skewed to one side of the Donut, creating and uneven circumference of dough. You can see the problems with that if you are sharing the Donut, obviously: Someone loses out with the smaller half of the Donut. The question is. How can Cricket fix this Thailand food problem? more dough on one side of the donut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can Cricket fix this Thailand food problem? more dough on one side of the donut. We covered food earlier. I can't remember the post number. I think it was before we reached 4 figures. We discussed and agreed (or at least nobody disagreed) that cricket would reduce the unnecessary spiciness (and weirdness) in Thai food With regards to doughnuts specifically, this issue will be solved as soon as New Zealand tour Thailand for the first time. Jesse Ryder (the fattest international cricketer) will demand proper doughnuts, which will then need to be imported (and subsequently copied all over the Kingdom).

richardjm65 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 phuturatica, thank you for your gracious response to my post. I might have expected sulking and pouting, but no, you're made of sterner stuff - just what the chaps here are looking for. You do realise that the quest for knowledge, understanding and, ultimately, enlightenment will be a hard path, fraught with danger and the possibility of estrangement from other members of your sex. Records show that cricket first came to Essex in the late 16th - early 17th century, where it took root and flourished. For your homework, I suggest you interest yourself in the history of WG Grace (1848 - 1915). The WG stood for William Gilbert and he was an astonishing character as a batsman, bowler and fielder. You'll be interested to learn that his best batting score was 170 against the Australian test team of 1886 at The Oval. Physically, he much resembled some of the characters you've seen in Pattaya and Phuket. So now, with your first bit of historical knowledge, you're off and running. Not many ladies know what you've just learned. Try to concentrate your attention on the 3 - day county matches and the international 5 - day test matches, for that's where you'll learn to appreciate tactics. Forget all that 20 - 20 stuff - though briefly entertaining, it's similar to sea-front amusement park crazy golf compared with, say, the British Open. Once again, welcome.

Which leads us nicely onto dress codes for supporters... Obviously sunglasses and an umbrella are de rigeur....
