The Pleasure XI started out at the insane early start time of 7:30 at the Bamboo, arriving before the staff on this cool Sunday morning. With gray skies and rain threatening, the Bashers stand-in captain Andy “Tank” Scott promptly lost the toss and the Bashers were forced to field.

With fielding restrictions in place for the first eight overs, and missing pace-man Woodstock, Desmond “Long Dong” DeSilva and Zeb “Camel” Khan opened the bowling, putting the Pudong side on the back foot and setting up the tactical first change tandem of Dean “Loose” Lapthorne and Hamish “Katie” Stevens. The varied speed and spin attacks of the Anzacs proved too much for Pudong as Katie made a push for the return of his old nickname with three wickets (with leg spin that could take your head off!) and Loose added another scalp to his own total.

John “Inquisition” L’Epagniol induced the first fine of the day by showing up late to the game, but after a proper degree of chirp from his own teammates, proceeded to bowl three overs of stingy cricket. (more…)

Ladies and Gents,

Yesterday, in less than ideal cricketing conditions, the Business XI started off the season with a pretty comprehensive victory over Pudong CC.

A sharp bowling performance was backed up by a very solid fielding performance resulting in us bowling Pudong out for 210. A miserly opening spell from Cranky and KC put Pudong under immediate pressure with plenty of dot balls whistling down the ‘corridor of doubt’, this was then backed up by Paps and Filthy with The Rock, Dipso and Terror also get in on the action (3 wickets for Terror, 2 to Dipso and Paps, and one a piece to Cranky, Filthy and the Rock).

Gentlemen,

It is a pleasure to announce the Bashers Business XII selected to represent the Club in the first League 1 game of the season  this Sunday.

(more…)

It’s official. By popular vote of those who are physical enough to rock up to training and drinks the new Bashers team names have been decided. In the end it was an undeniably resounding majority decision.

Without ado at all …

The Bashers side in the SCC first division will be known as The Bashers “Business”

The team competing in the second division will be known as The Bahsers “Pleasure”

Congrats to Woodstock for dreaming this concept up and showing a glimpse of the workings of his mind. A case of beer is yours if you know what to do with that.

Close runners-up and honourable mentions;

Darkness and Light (Kasem) – probably a bit cerebral for most – if you don’t understand this one – learn some Latin.

Kegs & Slabs (Omega)

Hammers & Sledges ( BS)

Thanks to all for your contributions – this is your club, enjoy.

There is still the question of what to call the sixes side when they turn out later in the summer. Sponsors anyone?
