Tommy said he had been “spreading the word of cricket” along the way.<\/p>\n
“I try to say every time I spend the night somewhere, I’ll find a local person to play cricket with me.”<\/p>\n
He said he does not always have access to translation tools so often finds himself going up to strangers in the street with a cricket bat and ball and asking “Can you throw a ball at me?” <\/p>\n
“In the middle of the street, what could go wrong?” <\/p>\n
Tommy said things did eventually go wrong in Vietnam but it was not because of his cricketing skills.<\/p>\n
“I crashed my motorbike – not that I remember very much about it.<\/p>\n
“I spent about four nights in hospital and six nights in a hotel recovering from that.<\/p>\n
“Thankfully, over the last couple of days I’ve been able to get myself back on the road and I’m feeling much better, looking much better.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tommy said he had been “spreading the word of cricket” along the way. “I try to say every…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":277892,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-277891","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277891","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=277891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/277891\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/277892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=277891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=277891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=277891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
