Yeah it makes me think your brain is made of porridge when you compare prison to being banned from an online cricket forum.

I'd say 2 things.

1. 99% of Cambodia people would say that if someone is not Khmer then they are not Cambodian.
2. To officially get Cambodia citizenship, you can do it through:
i) investment of more than $300,000 AND be able to speak Khmer
ii) naturalisation. Which is 7 years or 3 if married to Cambodian person (itself very difficult to do), and being able to speak, read and write in Khmer (and even then you need government permission which is like gold dust).

I would be amazed if all of these guys can read and write in Khmer (and I'm not saying that because they happen to all be of south asian origin, I'd say exactly the same of any non-Khmer).

Maybe I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

Very very few foreigners get cambodian citizenship.

I think their team is as big a joke as their ground.

And that's from someone who would love Cambodia to be great at things.

Apologies if my comments were offensive. That wasn't the intention.

And I'm in no position to know whether those guys can speak Khmer (I doubt it, but maybe they can), so that particular comment was wrong.

But I'd be very confident (because you just don't see people of south asian background living in Cambodia - literally almost none) that all of those players are in Cambodia specifically because it is an opportunity for them to play international cricket.

And I think that's sad, and actually pointless.

it to the age of eighteen without electrocuting myself

It's absolutely laughable to suggest that living somewhere for 3 years means you speak the language.

Most expats in the GCC hardly speak a word of Arabic after 3 years. Same Hong Kong with Cantonese.

Think carefully about the difference between the ex-pats who work in those countries vs. those in Cambodia you absolute moron.
