About the Phuket Cricket Week

Welcome to the official blog of the Phuket Cricket Week

The Phuket Cricket Week is run by the Asian Cricket Sixes Tour (ACST) (www.cricketsixes.com)

The ACST continues to organise superb club cricket events at fantastic locations across Asia Pacific since it was founded in 2000.

The Phuket Cricket Week comprises of the ICC Award Winning Phuket International Cricket Sixes and the Thalang International 7's (formerly known as the Kata International 7's)

The Sixes were first held in 2004, while the 7's made its first appearance in 2012. Both events have helped raise substantial sums through the kindness of its worldwide participants to assist in the next generation of Thais falling in love with the game through the Phuket Cricket Group's Junior Development Fund. The ACST would like to thank the PCG for their continued and invaluable support as the Phuket Cricket week continues to flourish.

All enquiries for anyone wishing to come along and make friendships through the game, whether as a team or individuals should contact the ACST Chairman, Michael 'Cat' Maher at mmaher.padmir@bigpond.com or by telephone on +61 407 385 481.

2011. Beach Cricket & Floodlit T20 Photos

Beach Cricket Tournament

Tuesday 12th April - Karon Beach

The annual Beach Cricket Tournament returned to Karon Beach on Tuesday 12th April 2011. Such was the interest from teams that matches were cut to 5 overs of 4 ball overs.

In a new innovation side had the opportunity to nominate a 'Joker Over' when batting. All runs scored in that over were doubled! An old tradition remained as all fielders were enforced to hold a beer from sponsors San Miguel in one hand or a bottle of water.

Lady Pies products also went down a treat!

Floodlit T20

Friday 15th April 2011 - Karon Stadium

Once again the crowds flocked in as Saurav Chatterjee led his Rest of the World side to a win over the Australians with a fantastic batting display, before players and supporters were transported to Rosco's Bar by our kind sponsor who provided the transport and free beers!

Not even a power failure at half time could stop the show, as announcements and the Player of the day award were made through a traffic cone,

while umpire Burt 'Budgie' Baetsen used his electric skills to find the fuse boxes

and get the lights and PA system back in full service.

What a night!
