The Bashers have a table booked and there are 6 spots still open on that. It would be great to get enough people signed up to need a second table so get involved. This is one of the best Gala evenings in Shanghai. So don’t miss out!

Please put you name below with the word Gala next to it if you want to take a ticket and I will get in contact to confirm.

Season finale weekend – Pub crawl!

With all 3 teams heading into the final weekend of the Bashers season next week we need to go out with a bit of a bang and that doesn’t mean a trip to Manhattans (well maybe).

BASHERS PUB CRAWL

The long awaited Bashers pub crawl will stumble into action on the evening of Friday 23rd.

Meeting at The Camel between 7-8pm we will take in some of the finer establishments around the area. The route is a mystery, but trust me it will be varied and include a couple of inter team challenges along the way. Get to the Camel, get some food in, throw up later and get wasted!

Would really be great to see all 3 teams out getting involved with this one, so commit below.

Leisure’s Tale Of The Tape

After arriving early for a first time and being introduced to a “must win” match. Woodstock had his back in a bad position last night so he could play today. With two players short, the Skippy Mr. chirp-a-lot parrot started recruiting players in his very confidential and top secret techniques. After finding Filthy and Birdshit we started play in a cool and windy morning. Skipper set the field using his famous scatter technique.

As Sharapova smashed in to the popping crease into the wind with pace and furious grunts, no bails seemed to be falling, just the wind taking the ball for a trip down leg side (that’s my excuse too). This went one with the next bowler and the next over. The wickets took long to come and the wides for fast to go by. Had some exceptional work in the field by all players with the few bashers missed fields and dropped catches. (more…)

Leisure Lumberjack.

The day started well, with everyone on time for the bus except for Puberty and Sharapova and Shears and Parrot.

We arrived at the beautifully manicured SRFC to find the only shade was next to the lawnmower that Woodstock looked very at home upon.  Sharapova arrived at the ground with friend in a delightful zebra dress and Woodstock had no hesitation in giving her his pants and she assumed her position at fine leg. This leading the leisure squad to believe that for the first time in Shanghai cricket history 2 ladies represented in a competitive game.

Despite the onset of thunderstorms off the Basher’s went to bowl. What a start it was! Off the 2^nd ball of the day, 1^st legal delivery, Sharapova snuck one through the defense of last games half-century maker and knocked the off stump over. Clungealicious was the word that everyone was thinking to themselves as they ran in to congratulate Sharapova donning the multi coloured bandanna.  From there in the Basher’s settled into a happy stint of mediocrity with the runs being contained by some very tight bowling from all involved.
