Business Vs K2 17th July Lumberjack Report

Sunday morning held the promise of great cricket in the air. The Biz team were facing K2 for the 3rd time this season and both going into the game 1 game a piece, it promised to be tough and exciting. The morning started of optimistically with Sinbad being uncharacteristically on time for the bus and Dazzler deciding to keep the bus waiting 7 minutes prompting the skipper to want to leave without out him. What a great call on the skipper’s part to instead wait as Dazzler would live up to his name and go on to score 107 RUNS, making him the 2nd person only in Bashers history to score a tonn.

WELL DONE DARREN!!!! 107 runs

Bashers summit roof of Africa

The Pusher and Cranky didn’t let snow, sleet, hail and rain stop them in their quest to conquere the worlds highest free standing mountain.

On the 14th December at 7:25 am at an altitude of 5895m/19,453feet, two Bashers braved 10 minutes (at -22 degrees C) to take this epic photo, making the other 6 days well worth the struggle to get to the top.

Finally back in Shanghai and a little battered, both men are extremely proud to been a part of such a historic adventure.

NO PRACTICE BUT BASHERS DRINKS INSTEAD!!!!!!!!

Dear fellow Bashers and Geisha’s,
