ThailandThe 12 th Hua Hin International Cricket Sixes tournament at Dusit Resort.On arrival at Dusit Resort after 4 hours on the bus from Bangkok airport, we were greeted with all the trimmingsone would expect from a “5 star” resort. The weather was conducive to a dip in the pool and a “cleansing ale” atthe swim up bar.All members were well rested in preparation for the week of action cricket, and golf, plus just enjoying thehospitality of the Thai hosts.Golf ReportBob Edmends reported, “In Thailand, where many of us had played before,we enjoyed Palm Hills and Springfield, including our annual match againstThe Hua Hin Golf Society which we contrived to lose once again. Anothergame at Springfield for the intrepid eight was followed by an invitation toplay at Black Mountain, a new course that officially opened a week after weplayed it. Golf is becoming more and more part of the tourist agenda in HuaHin and throughout Thailand.”Cricket ReportSome 19 cricket teams from around the world had assembled, including some cricketing legends such as Colin“funky” Miller, Darren Berry, & our own MCC international cricketer, Mick Lewis, to do battle over the weekahead.The MCC Red team was entered in the Cup tournament and the MCC White was entered in the Masters Group B.With the games rules being 5 overs per side (1 per player excluding wicket keeper) and 4 run penalties for no ballsand wides, everyone was prepared for some exciting cricket.Our MCC White team started in the first match as defending champions of the Masters tournament with a lossand by the end of the week could only manage 1 win, thus missing the finals.
