The video is 8 action packed minutes of superb winning cricket from the Leisure over the weekend… Tank is also uploading to the Bashers page on Facebook for those with a decent VPN…
This is what really happened on Sunday – another great win for the Leisure! I know the quality is down from 100MB to just 19MB, so if you want the director’s cut, then you’ll have to get the full size file off me…
We have been doing a bit of house keeping and moved the Bashers Facebook page to the new group format. If you were a member of the old group you need to head over here and like the new page. If you weren’t a fan before then why the hell not (apart from the obvious reason of it being blocked. Easy answer…V….P….N)
I have posted up a load of photos from the last couple of seasons mostly drink related or of Swahili sticking his tongue out so it would be nice if the rest of you could fill it out with some actual cricket pictures and i’m sure there is the odd gem or 2 from the social side lurking out there as well!
This is no way replacing the all conquering blog, all info will be posted here as normal, we are just updateing our social profile for the coming season.
So there you go, get involved (if you can) and make sure you post a picture or two!
With all the talk this weekend of “PLANKING“, “OWLING”, “TEBOWING” and “HORSEMANING” (If u have no idea wat these terms mean look it up!) it’s about time we get some Bashers “BLAZERING” in…
Wat’s that you ask? “Blazering”- Acquire Basher’s Blazer… Wear Blazer… Find appropriate (or inappropriate!!) location and strike a pose (funny face, Captain Morgan stance, thumbs up, beer in hand watevaa!!!) and click away… The more exotic the location and pose the better!
Take a pic in ur Blazer at the local Kedi Store, on the Metro, in the Bar, in Cranky’s office, heck even in the Loo!!! Just dont forget to post it on the blog! But here lies a challenge to the Bashers- I know many of us travel all over the place so it would be great to see how far and wide the Basher Blazer can travel (I’m takin it to Japan next weekend!)… Wat wud be even cooler is finding some random person (preferably a hot babe!!!) to don the Legendary Basher Blazer and gettin a pic of it (Pat the Dog lead the way earlier this yr!!!)
SO ??? Challenge accepted!!! (Yes it’s been a slow day at work!) Let’s see how far we can go with this… U may never know- it mite become the new internet FAD…
Examples to follow (look up Xiamen Blog!).. Get Amongst it!!!
Lets see how this goes. For all of you that are missing out this might give you a flavour of whats going on down here!
Parrot making friends on the plane!

Just got back from the island with silverware in hand. The Coke Bashers won! Beating Pudong Power in the last game of the day which was the tournament decider. The Kooka Bashers won the Basher on Basher match on the last ball by 1 run. Lumberjack and more pictures to follow! Great day!
LONDON — Talk about super-sizing!
For the 2012 London Olympics, fast-food giant McDonald’s will be building its biggest restaurant ever.
The 32,000 square-foot, two-story facility will have seating for 1,500 hungry spectators – and athletes.
It’s one of four temporary McDonald’s to be constructed for the Olympics, including one in the athletes’ village.
The biggest challenge for McDonald’s? Logistics.
“A lot of work goes into making sure we have enough ingredients on hand. But we have done a great job in the past managing these massive event,” said Melissa Daly, a communications supervisor for McDonald’s.
“Training the crew is another challenge, but we will have the best of the best workers coming to work in London,” Daly added.
The fast-food giant will also select 2,000 of its top employees – its largest Olympic team ever assembled – to serve at the Games. About 1,800 will come from Great Britain, the other 200 from restaurants from other nations. The “brand ambassadors” will have the chance to meet the world’s top athletes and attend events.
McDonald’s, which has been an Olympics sponsor since 1976, hopes to serve more than 1.75 million people during the 29 days of the Olympics and Paralympics.
Many of you have already bought a patch, if you haven’t talk to your skipper at the next game. 80rmb is not a big ask, most just round it up to 100. This seems like a win win idea, spreading some cricket love in difficult times in Japan. The patches are on their way, Latex will be organising a sewing bee to attach them shortly. In the meantime witness some of the smiles you’ve had a part in.

One just coached the IPL winners, what can the other do?
As the Bashers slowly congregated in the lobby of the tallest and most expensive hotel in Nanjing (possibly Jiangsu) a few things became evident:
1. Filthy and Shears had not made it home to their loving wives (Fei and Squeaky contacted me about good divorce lawyers the following Monday)
2. They had paid for their lavish accommodation (floor/chair) in various ways. I personally would like a refund from Shears as his services were as good as his bowling, extremely disappointing! Sinbad & the Korean mentioned something along the same lines about Filthy.
3. Birdshit was still not happy with the hotel service and was wearing two different shoes.
4. A lot of the bashers looked in good shape and therefore had not gone rural enough the night before.
5. The Castle Bar is a real sh*thole
