"You know what Oon, Today My head called and asked me to recommend you to join Coal Fields" and even said "You will be getting 15000 bhat as a Stipend. Very happiest day today" Arthit smiled at their parents who were in their most happy feeling.

Later he started training that Sauser shot from Jay. A bond between those two started to getting stronger. In the mean time he joined Coal Fields and started earning along with improving his cricketing skills.

After few months he bought his First Bike with his earnings. Everyone was so happy and his parents were so proud of him. That night he took friends and went out for the party where he got to know that Jay is habituated to drinking(Alcohol).

"What are you doing??" asked Arthit with anger filled face.
"You scared me. It's beer do you want a sip?? It gets you high" replied Jay then Arthit continued "Have you lost your mind?? You want to become a cricketer or a addict??"

"Heyy Arthit this is little bit, it doesn't matter. This is your party na, Just let me have fun" Jay replied with a pleading tone which made Arthit a more furious so he said
"Don't make me furious Jay, If I see you ever drinking again, I'll never gonna talk to you I think I made myself clear" by saying that he thrown away that bottle and went back to his friends.
"Hey Arthit, you became angry yaar. Listen Arthit....."

That Night Arthit met Kongpob and wanted to give him a small gift but instead he received one from Kongpob which made him too happy and encouraged him to give his best in the next trophy final test.

"Very good decision" C 2.

Inside the Dressing Room:

"You can't give away wickets, it's a four days match and you guys must bat till 2  or 2 and half days.
If you wish to play under 19 worldcup, then let me tell you there are two people who came here from the All Thailand Junior selection Committee.
World Cup is in next month, after few days they are going to announce the team members this is your opportunity and it's in your hand whether to grab it or not" by saying that coach has left and players started to prepare for the batting.

Bangkok lost their five wickets with the very few runs on the board.

This time it's Arthit who getting padded up.

"Arthit, we must save our wickets. Play carefully" Coach stated.

"He doesn't get to know you well till now" his teammate commented which made Arthit smile.

"The next batsman coming up is Arthit Rojnapat. The entire responsibility lies on Arthit now. Let's see how he performs today" C 1

While Arthit is up to batting yuvraj is up for bowling.

Arthit kept on playing......and completed his half century. For the end of the day one Bangkok score is 254runs for 5 wickets while Arthit on 70runs along with his partner Ratan on 77runs.

While returning to their Hotel Rooms:

After a week:

"When did he came??" asked Jay to Knott.
"Today Morning"
"I see"
"He didn't go to his home"
"Okay"
"He came here and threw me out"
"Oh?"
"He has locked the door from inside. He always does this"
"Open the door....." When Arthit did.

"What guys you won't even let me sleep??" Arthit asked Jay and Knott who are staring at him with question mark face. Then Jay asked "What happened??"
"What happened where??"
"What happened in the final??" Arthit goes to the nearest chair and sits then asked Knott to bring the water.

"Will you say what happened now??"
"Take a seat, I'll tell you"
"Here you go" Knott gave Arthit a water bottle. Then Jay looked at Knott who said
"He will tell after drinking water" as he said Arthit signalled them to sit, when both Jay and Knott taken their seats Arthit started explaining.

"So, on Day 2 I got out on 84 and the total team was out on 357runs. Then Chiang Mai starts batting they lose their first wicket on 60runs. Then Yuvraj Singh comes to bat.

The day 2 end score was 108 for 1 wicket" then he takes some time to continue Jay asks "Hurry up and tell us what happened next??"

"It's when we hurry that's when we makes mistakes. Let me tell you properly.

In the end of Day 3 they lost only 1 wicket with the score of 481. Yuvraj Singh double century (200 runs) he hit a lot. He broke all the records. Last on day 4 Total Chiang Mai Score is 839. Yuvraj individual score is 358. A run more than Total Bangkok score. We didn't even got a chance to play our second innings.

Do you know where we lost the match??"
"Where??" Asks Jay curiously.
"Not in cricket ground but Basket Ball ground at night"
"In Basket Ball ground??? How??"
Arthit explains how his teammates looked at Yuvraj Singh as a star not as a opponent.

After Couple of days they announced the team for the upcoming Under -19 World cup.
