Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Spanish Inquisition Results

Record turnout! Well done everyone, especially all those new faces and our Devil friends making a good showing coming in third. The Drop Bears in disguise continue their recent form coming second. In the end the old timers in 3 seconds showed how it was done old school style with a record 500 points!

Of the twelve buzzer questions only three or four were struck with success and most of those by the winning team, learn your lessons folks. Good wildcard selection was  again proven to be important.

And of course a huge shout out to the Inquisition himself and the staff of the Camel who seemed to handle the looseness with aplomb. Johnny is hanging up his marking pen for this season but the next Bashers quiz night will be on you sometime… um.. well sometime… stay tuned.

Hands up who wants to be the next quizmaster!

Nanjing Sixes – POSTPONED

Hey lads,

Bad news. Due to snow and heavy rain the pitch for the Nanjing Sixes is underwater. It will be in no fit state for the games and as a result the Nanjing Tour ’10 has been postponed.

Hamish “Katie” Stevens will put together a Sixes later in the year.  Not sure of the dates as they will be determined by the SCC season schedule.

Sorry to disappoint all those gaggin’ for some Nanjing madness. You’ll just have to wait a bit longer!

Is this man qualified to run world cricket?

The Kiwis are sputting chups this morning about John Howard being put forward for the spot of Deputy President of the International Cricket Council, with the likelihood he’ll take over the top job in 2012.

Will he keep his eye on the ball?Will he keep his eye on the ball?

The New Zealand Herald this morning lamented: “Cricket: ‘Fan’ with no cricket experience gets top job.” The paper wondered what “Australian heavying” went on behind closed doors to secure Howard over NZC Chairman Sir John Anderson. (more…)

Nobody Expects the Spanish Inquisition

Well now you’ve been warned. Lock in next Friday the 12th of March for our first quiz of the year!

Rookie quizmaestro John “Inquisition” L’Epagniol has been scouring his vast casket of useless knowledge and innuendo. Expect some curly ones – much like facing his bowling.

Start will be around 7pm when our new President threatens to officially kick off the Bashers’ residency at the Camel bar with some words of, well, some words.

If you don’t yet know where to find the Camel then click the logo on the left there and read all about it on their lovely fresh site. Entry will be 100RMB per head and the new Social redirector promises some super prizes as always. If you’re a virgin like the quizmaster then you should know these nights never fail to deliver the good times and mountains of useful knowledge, both of which are mostly forgotten the next day.

Recommended team size is 4pax. Plenty of space in our new bar so bring a friend!
