Thailand Needs Cricket

[harrry]

But is not cricket a game that regards stretching the bounds as a positive virtue. After all as far as I know it is the only game which rewards going out of bounds by rewarding a battsman who hits the ball out of bounds.

Spot on Harry...that is why you like to go for a 6 so that you are rewarded for going out of bounds.....

If I may be so bold, harrry*, perhaps we could put you in charge of pushing the boundaries. And perhaps, pushing the envelope, should we have any cause to deal with officialdom here in Thailand

I don't understand the universe, so I will never understand cricket.

And, as I will never understand cricket, "where does that leave me"?

So kevjohn ... you have the Pitch all to yourself ... care to bowl the first ball of the new day.

David48 I had to really focus to see who you were talking to there...

Be brave - be bold!

"To whom" - I make myself look like an illiterate.

To whom, or not to whom, that is the question

Whether it is nobler (knobblier?) to suffer the slings and arrows of arbitrary ruling

Or offer alms to a see of troubles, and by opposing, end them?

Thanks for the public support.

We both know what we mean ...

Ahhhh the smell of beautiful coffee from Mae Suai accompanied by the gentle hiss of the espresso machine.....first coffee of the day coming up.....

Sorry Kevin...you will have to stic with the Pablo..

Good on you harrry. I worry that kevjohn may miss your subtle dig.

Personally, I have had to swear off coffee, for fear that it keeps me awake at work

SC

Whether it is knobbleir in the mind

or in the knees

That's why I add the salt....hardens the arteries...slows the blood flow.....makes ya tired.....see.... there's a reason for everything......

I used to work with a bloke who, before he got his Uni degree used to be a chain man with a Surveying company.

Tough as old boot straps he was.

Anyway, if we were tossing a few back and he thought that his beer was going a bit flat ... out came the salt, into the beer, and up came the bubbles ... worked a treat.

Not exactly Cricketing chat I know but I allow myself the distraction sometimes.

Here is a solution if the heavens open up a little too much.

Speaking of which ... how is everyone's knees?

My knees are perfect

So you are saying that these are not your knees ...

When you put in the extra, do you have to scratch your Rs?

Noooooooooooooooo !

It's not about the run count.

It's about quality stroke play.

Don't worry about the runs ... if you have quality stroke play, the runs will come naturally.

Look ... we all like to score ... and score often.

Sometimes we go through multiple batting partners when we have a innings longer then most.

But the long innings come from time in the nets, self practise, then when you are called out to the middle it's time to man up.

If you have had the quality stroke play with your batting partner ... everything will flow smoothly.

You'll be in till lunch, and if you have taken your medication for the day still up for play later in the afternoon.

Savvy ?

So to harry, whose services to this thread will be whispered about in days to come you are here by awarded the following Thai Visa Cricketing Team caricature.

We cannot help it if you leave your sausage in the sun..savvy

Stroke play in that case could be painful....I suggest plenty of sunblock.
