Following on from this post a couple of years back.. Do these dudes still play? Is there now any cricket on the island? ... Played quite regularly until i came to Thailand, so keen to get involved.

 

Cheers

Pop by Babu's Indian Hot restaurant on Soi Maenam resort road, in Maenam,  (almost across from the green./ blue hotel) he was one of the organizers of the cricket teams....back when this was last discussed....  I don't know if they are still doing it or not....

I will probably see him some time this week and try to remember to ask....  they were playing early on Saturday mornings if I remember.

The stadium on the far side of the island would be ideal for cricket if enough people were interested; not that the game interests me personally.

Thanks Jimmy, I'm in Phangan but could get over for Sat morning, even if it meant staying in Samui on Sat night. Might be tempted to go for a curry!

With the ummm rather wet weather, I've not had a chance to go see Babu, but will endeavor to so and update whether they are still doing their matches...

So don't rush over just yet!

Surely enough Brits or Aussies Nz'ers, Indians, etc on KP to start a team....? :biggrin:

Could probably get a beach game going.. But its still a fringe sport really. I think the expats who live here are more likely to do yoga in their spare time than play cricket.

Bad news!  lack of Players have "stopped play" :whistling:

 

Many of the former players have headed home to their native countries... India, Pakistan,, Bangladesh and Nepal...etc

 

Not sure if there would be enough members to get a new team together, there was not a lot of interest last time this topic came up!

 

Anyone interested here, ????

Does anyone have any gear?

All that's needed is a bat really, as tennis  / tape ball only can be used on the surfaces here. Stumps can be improvised.

 

But I've not got a bat in this part of the world :(

I can bring the sandpaper :sorry:

Not to hijack the thread since I know absolutely nothing about cricket but could one of you followers explain what the sandpaper was used for in the South Africa vs. Australia cricket scandal
