Follow on Google News | From Gardener To Groundsman To The World StageThai groundsman makes his mark on the world stage at the 2012 Cricket 20 – 20 World Cup in Sri Lanka.
This great honour comes to a man of humble beginnings. Before the cricket ground was developed on the Traidhos Community campus (http://cricket.threegeneration.org) Over the subsequent ten months, and without any professional cricket grounds machinery, the ground was developed by hand - one blade of grass at a time. Grass for the ten-strip turf wicket was imported from Perth, Western Australia, so there is forever a corner of Thailand that is linked to the famous WACA. This was probably first time in cricket history that a ground has been built using traditional Thai "paddy field" techniques. Under David’s and Pirom’s supervision, the ground was ready for host its first cricket tournament on 14 December 2006 – an Asian cricket tournament which played to fantastic reviews. Over the coming years, the ground established a reputation as being one of the finest grounds in Asia - and certainly the best cricket field in Thailand. Pirom has earned his credibility through diligence and hard work and is now regarded amongst players and coaches as the best groundsman in Thailand. Pirom’s achievements and the recognition he has gained in the world of Asian cricket is well-deserved for his outstanding contribution to Traidhos and the promotion of cricket in Thailand. End
