Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Business XI vs Hot Dogs

Gents,

We are now at the proper pointy end of the season – the last game before the Play-Offs and Finals.
Destiny is in our hands. Victory sees us through, defeat and our fate is in the hands of other results going our way.
Lets seize the day – or as the illustrious Romans might have said ‘Carpe Diem’.

1. Sheyan “Dipso” Patel (Kit Biatch)
2. Philip “Filthy” Mildenhall
3. Nigel “Campo” Shroff
4. Hadleigh “Sir Dick” Churchill
5. Oliver “Stats” Austin

7. Rowan “Hedgehog” Turner (Lumberjack)
8. Sameer “Paps” Jolly
9. Denzyl “Cranky” Allwright
10. John “Inquisition” L’Epagniol
11. Andy “Tank” Scott

The games will be taking place at DULWICH COLLEGE – not the SRFC!!!
Game starts at 12:15, so please lets get to the Camel at 10:00 for a 10:15 departure.
This will ensure we get there early enough to support the Leisure boys as well as warming up.
Big game – so let’s aim to be wide eyed and bushy tailed…

Int’l Cricket Scandal Could Overshadow Leisure-Pudong “Duckworth” Travesty

Now even the U.S. is following the Pakistan match fixing scandal: This from The Atlantic:

This week at Lord’s, England won an amazing come-from-behind victory over Pakistan. But the game now is likely to be overshadowed forever by one of the greatest scandals to ever hit international cricket.

The British newspaper News of the World alleged that in a sting operation, they paid Pakistani middleman Mazhar Majeed 150,000 pounds ($230,000) to collude with Pakistani players and deliberately fix the match, for the benefit of gambling syndicates. Majeed was arrested by police and released on bail pending further investigation. The police have also spoken to several Pakistani players. At this stage, the claims are unproven allegations. But the secretly taped video of Majeed looks, on the face of it, pretty damning.
