Bashers Cricket Club

As the clock struck 7AM on a balmy October’s morn, a handful of battle wearied Bashers soldiers converged on the Big Bamboo bound for SRFC headquarters in WaiGaoQiao, our enemy this week = K2. ‘Made In’ was the first casualty claiming [incorrectly as it was later pointed out] that he was incapable of pulling up after Swahili’s B’day bash, and was thus pulling a dodgy one. Pussy. So much for your 50 n.o. out predication and 5 wickets. 2^nd no-show and hardly surprising was Circus, always happy playing the role of the clown, but obviously not at 7:00 AM on a Sunday morning. Lightweight. Swahili was also MIA [I’ve got a feeling his b’day party the night before was more a gay orgy than actual party], but he managed to rock up a little latter so he redeemed himself somewhat… (more…)

Here’s the squad for Sunday’s game. Be at the Big Bamboo by 7:15 or let me kow if you’re going straight to the ground.

In no particular order:

1. Tank (c)
2. Swahili
3. Loose
4. Katie
5. Long Dong
6. Pusher
7. Made in
8. Circus
9. Swoop (w)
10. Bugs
11. Tea Bag

To all Bashers Players .

We have been allocated 8 player spots under our team entry conditions .

This includes 8 tickets to the friday night function, a team freebie bag , and post Sunday finals BBQ .

We can play more than 8 players over the weekend but obviously 8 places with freebies will not spread to the whole club so we need you to make it easier for us to pick you in the 8 or simply to get a game when available .

After last weeks debacle… we are slightly more organized this week…

Our highly esteemed Social Director, and general Man of Looseness, Mr. Dean Lapthorne, will be heading to the court today to book.

With the Pleasure Boys looking for 3 from 3, and the 6s looming – it will be a good opportunity to get ‘amongst it’.
drinks will happen at the Bamboo regardless

There will be a post to confirm his success later on today.

K2CCC v Bashers Pleasure @ SRFC 09:00 Sunday 18 October

Possibly the last Pleasure match for the regular season… all aboard!

Gents,

With many of us returning from various parts of the world, I thought itwould be a good idea to get together for nets tomorrow.

Same time, same place.

Please let me know if you can make it – either respond here, or text me.
If there isnt enough interest, then we will reluctantly call it off…

Obviously there will be drinks in the Bamboo after  where the Aussies will be able to gloat further as to their cricketing prowess and Cranky and Tank will be able to play with the iPhones

With the Bashers’ fully loaded city bus express, chauffeured by Shanghai Transport Service’s equivalent of a metro-sexual, heading straight for Bashers’ Beach, the scent of victory and Lambrusco was thick in the air. The ride itself was mainly uneventful, if you don’t count the fact that it was decided by unanimous vote that next year’s Bashers uniform would basically be designed by Dolce and Gabbana (scarves, handkerchiefs and cummerbuns…please).

If there are enough keen souls, we will arrange a cricket game on Friday afternoon against our friends , the Pudong cricket club. Game to be played at the SRFC where we can be Bashers !!

Business and Pleasure players welcome !

If we have enough to put together a team then we will do so .

That is Friday October 2nd !! Your chance to have a say !!

Sorry about the late notice – been busy doing community service for disturbing the peace.

Bit short still for tomorrow – let me know if you can come help!

Game is at 2 @ SRFC. The NEW Bus is from the boo at 12:15

See ya there. boo yaaa

It all seemed perfectly normal for a bright sunny Sunday morning; Birdshit slept through the first alarm, Tank was late, Swahili wasn’t sure where he slept.  But it wasn’t until the Pusher revealed that he had got in a massive 24 hour kip the day before that it became clear the Pleasure team had been quietly building up its reserves.  It’s possible the impending afternoon of complimentary booze at Cuvee was a factor, but still, there was something different.

The Dulwich security guards were the first to feel the sting; tension mounted as a dozen Bashers armed with near empty tunnel beers faced off against a trio of uniforms bearing framed certificates warning us not to trespass.  Birdshit’s quick decision to conduct the team’s first ever warm up with a lap around the field defused the crisis, and possibly sowed the seeds of brilliance to follow.
