Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Lumberjack- Pleasure v Hotdogs

It was a must win game to keep the Pleasure’s final hopes alive, facing off against the old enemy DPR Hotdogs. With half the team participating or directly assembling at the SRFC, the bus ride from the Camel proved uneventful.

Arriving at the SRFC relatively early, we had time to enjoy the SCC v Hong Kong Pirates 20/20 match… A good crowd saw a tight match, with the Pirates just missing out on bringing home the victory.

With some inspirational words from our skipper, Bugs, the bowling attack fired up for a big day. ‘Billy’ Da Silva steaming in claimed the opening Hot Dogs wicket, well caught by Pothole at deep gully. Some tight bowling continued from opening partner Growler. (more…)

Pleasure Lumberjack: Bashers “Swoop” of a Day…

Arriving at the SRFC with “Tiny” by an alternative transport than the early bus, the Pleasure boys were already at the ground and going through the usual preparation for the big game smoking, eating, scratching private areas and talking about the vague memory of the night before.

As the captain for the day “Tank” went out for the toss with the Devils Digital captain, it was left to “Tiny” to prepare the boys with the fielding warm up session.

It was quickly established that we needed an IQ of aver 200 to even understand what we were expected to doing in the warm up, running towards each other, running away from each other, alternative running towards each other, alternative running away from each other (yes there was a ball involved which made it even more complicated)!!!

Lumberjack – Pleasure v Devils Doosra – The Good, Bad & Ugly.

The signs were there early that it perhaps wouldn’t be the greatest day… I did a quick pre alarm time check only to find that it was 7:20am and  was due at the Camel in ten minutes. Once the panic had died down and I was on my way, I found I’d set my alarm for 7pm instead of 7am… Shit !  All I could rely on was Sinbad being late also , and with more consistency than a Basher batting collapse so it was, that  the bus was still there and Sinbad wasn’t (apparently the fault of the red taxi’s)…but regardless, my first Basher Lumberjack was assigned.

So with the Leisure bus moving off in the distance and a distinct lack of Dragon bar leftovers around, the small pleasure team contingent headed to the SRFC.

A most informative journey to the ground ensued with stand in skipper Tank reciting the daily messages from our courageous but absent skipper Bugs’ journey back from the depths of typhoid hell (gastro) – Great work getting the scorebook back in time Bugs! (more…)
