Bashers Boozers…

Some of our fellow Bashers are currently in North Korea. As probably the first ever cricket tour to the “North”, I thought there would be more coverage. ALAS…I’ve found this:

Enjoy!

After a long Saturday night and an even longer off season, the Bashers Twenty20 side finally headed into bat on Sunday and came away with an emphatic victory over the Dare Devils. After a first-rate tactical meeting and solid warm-up on the Big Bamboo Booze bus (pies and sav rolls courtesy of Kooka Pies), there was an air of expectation amongst the Bashers faithful that nothing short of a win would do justice to the team.

Bashers vs Pudong (April 27, 2008)
 
Denzyl won the toss and elected to bowl first in the early morning start.
Excellent early bowling spells from Samir and Denzyl saw the Bashers on top in the early exchanges restricting Pudong to 61 for 4 at the half way stage. With temperatures rising the concentration levels wavered a little and Pudong managed to reach a respectable 162 all out after 32 overs.
Sheyan and Sanjay opened the batting in response, and were immediately in their groove, putting on a rapid 79 off 12 overs. Sheyan was happy playing second fiddle to Sanjay who was timing the ball beautifully and carting the bowlers to all corners with a cultured, aggressive display of hitting. Ollie and Sanjay came in and provided support to the run chase (along with Mal – who provided a reminder of the Bashers of old with a disputed first baller) reaching the target with just under 10 overs remaining.
Mentions should go to Denzyl, Samir and Sunny in particular for very  probing spells, and to Sanjay who ended just short of a maiden century on his debut (96*).
Thanks also to Sanjay Anugula for finally making an appearance for his team of choice.

Bashers President Mal Collins today decreed that April 27 shall henceforth be known as “Bashers Day”. It is unknown whether his motivation for this announcement was that it was his birthday, his golden duck, the two bashers victories or that he was just plain drunk.
