We need to be efficient with key strokes to keep the scoreboard ticking over

... or we could more discrete with our stoke play ... the old argument of quality over quantity ... so when a new member stumbles across this thread they would be challenged to participate.

Remember boys ... this is Cricket, not Baseball ... we just don't swing at any ole' delivery.

Air swings make us look incompentant to the opposition ... some quality stroke making please.

Another reminder of today's big question...

If Thailand without cricket is "Amazing Thailand", what will Thailand be with cricket?

The mind boggles.

Indeed, what is better than "Amazing"?

I am worried TAT have stumped themselves by not leaving much space for adjective upgrades

We need to encourage the opposition to keep up the over rate...

...and of course we need to hit everything with the middle of the bat

...unless it is particularly short in which case better to let it go though to the keeper

...unless you feel that you can easily hit it beyond the infield for runs

...unless the opposition have fielders in catching positions on the boundary

...unless you are sure you can beat them with a huge six

As shown by a video earlier in the thread, male streakers are not tolerated on the cricket field...

We are referring to you using your initials of SC to protect your identity...

Is there another code name you would prefer?...

How about "That bloke over there, no, not the one in the Stetson, another bloke altogether. Certainly not that bloke running as fast as he can in the opposite direction..."

Anyway, I'm sure he'll take it in the good humour it was intended.

Any shorter suggestions?

Sorry mate ... this is a family show.

However, this may not cross that invisible line and be allowed by the 3rd Umpire

Is she one of the staff of our sponsor SOThaiSpa 's establishment?

Boss, why would we be playen for a draw. I've got me own....smile.png

Imagine it is the last ball of the final over on the last day of a Test match and you are 255/9 (in your second innings) chasing down a target of 263 to win (and you are 94 not out).

If the final ball is pitched short, you should let it go through to the keeper and secure a draw for your team, rather than pulling the ball over square leg for six runs and your century (and risking defeat for your team).

Unless of course you hear the umpire call "no ball", after the ball is released by the bowler, then you should try to hit it for six and reach your century.

With the 1 run for the no ball you will have moved your team to 262/9, ensuring at least a draw (and even victory if you can score 1 run off the additional ball for the no ball).

With regards to the name for the Thai cricket league, the best suggestion so far was kevjohn's proposal to call it the Thai Cricket League. Does anyone have any better ideas?...

What should we call the Thai cricket league?

Thailand Home Of Cricket League which could be called THC League for short. Then this could end up being known as the drug league

If that will help us to attract GSK, Pfizer and other leading drug companies as sponsors, I agree.

We have an expression called 'Have a go ya mug'

So I would have taken the Glory Shot.

The no-ball call, if it was a bouncer above the batsman head would have to be called by the square leg umpire and he/she usually decides after the ball has been delivered.

Hence waiting for the initial no-ball ruling is not at issue.

Have a go ya mug .. would have echoed around the Dressing Room had I not have had strong knees!
