Bashers Cricket Club

A faultless display from the Bashers Business Boys sees us regain the top-spot in Division 1 with just one game remaining, with a performance that saw us gain full bowling and batting points.
In a game of many firsts, it should be noted that:
- No one was late for the bus
- The Driver did not get lost on the way to the ground
- The Skipper did not lose the toss
- No one bowled a wide
- No one dropped a catch
- Nobody got bowled
- And most amazingly – Sinbad did not throw his toys or complain about batting number 11…

You get the general idea…
Unfortunately Pudong pulled out of the game on Saturday evening as they had seen the strength of the Bashers XI due to face them (courtesy of this fine website) and only 5 volunteers were prepared to face the heat of a near full strength squad in the mild 36 degree humidity.

On the plus side – the Bashers roll continues – 5 victories in a row – and a good result against the Doggies in September will see us in the Finals.

Afternoon Gents,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you – been running around like a blue arsed fly today.
Team announcement for the big game against Pudong on Sunday:

1. Ollie ‘Stats’ Austin
2. Phil ‘Filthy’ Mildenhall
3. Hadleigh ‘Sir Dick’ Churchill
4. Denzyl ‘Cranky’ Allwright
5. Sameer ‘Paps’ Jolly
6. Darren ‘Dazzler’ Manning
7. Nigel ‘Campo’ Shroff
8. Dave ‘Oscar’ Rosenthal
9. John ‘Inquisition’ Lepagniol
10. Kaylan ‘The Whinger’ DSilva
11. Dave ‘Weiner’ McGuigan

Big game – need to go large on the points scored.
It is a 12:15 game at the SRFC – as such we will be meeting at the Camel at 10:00 sharp for a 10:15 departure.
This will allow us to get lost and still have time to warm up.
The pre-match focus before the last game was spot-on and translated into a very effective performance, with bat, ball and just as importantly in the field. Lets do it again.

As usual – any nice comments - call me on 1376 137 0255.
And if anyone wants to complain or whinge – call Denzyl.

Greeted once again with a fine sunny day (well almost) the Bashers set out to THE CAMEL to beat those “Darn” Devils at the SRFC and extend the winning streak to 4 (has this happened before?)! For once all team members managed to assemble at the Camel on time (even a sober Sinbad!) barring Dipso (who set his clock 10 minutes back) and debutant Nigel “Campo” Shroff (we’ll cut you some slack this time). The only question was whether it would be another adventure getting to the ground… (more…)

Gents,
Having stated last week that we had put out our strongest team, I can say that with confidence again…We are reaching the pointy end of the season, chasing our 4th consecutive victory, and I am delighted to announce this squad:

1. Ollie ‘Stats’ Austin
2. Sheyan ‘Dipso’ Patel
3. Phil ‘Filthy’ Mildenhall
4. Sameer ‘Paps’ Jolly
5. Hadleigh ‘Sir Dick’ Churchill
6. Darren ‘The Dazzler’ Manning
7. Dave ‘Oscar’ Rosenthal
8. Jon ‘Shower’ Rees (Kit Biatch)
9. Sinbad ‘Kaylan’ D’Silva (Lumberjack)
10. John ‘Inquisition’ L’Epagniol
11. Nigel ‘tbc’ Shroff
12. 12th Man – Aaron ‘Billy’ D’Silva

It is a 13:00 start at the SRFC, so we will meet at the Camel at 10:30. Sinbad – aim to get to the Camel at 10:00 – you might be on time then…Hopefully we will have a driver from China this week who knows how to get to WaiGaoQiao…

Will be another scorching day – so make sure you all hydrate before bedtime on Saturday, and wake up full of beans…

As always – any questions – buzz me on 1376 137 0255

It was a bright blue sky that greeted the Bashers Business team as they made their way to the Camel for a 10.15am sharp departure to the SRFC to take on K2 again. Sir Dick managed to be on time but Sinbad was 15 minutes late. Not bad considering he had 2 hours kip.

We set off at 10.30 in plenty of time, only for the muppet calling himself our driver to get lost. 90 minutes later, we got to the ground after several stops for directions, a couple of reverses down a motorway and much swearing from the angry kiwis at the back. (more…)

Business vs Devils, July 25th, 1pm SRFC

Availability below to continue the roll we’re on and extended it to 4 wins on the trot.

Have a couple of absentees (Cranky, Paps etc) so need the numbers. Hands up please!

It is a 12:30 game at the SRFC. We will meet at the Camel at 10:15 (not 10:16… 1 finger per minute late as normal)

Our catching last time was atrocious! So when we get to the ground – lets focus in on the game and warm up properly and with focus…
