Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Ode to LXXXVI

There once was a Basher called Hadleigh

Who swung the willow madly

Give him a burger with beetroot

And  some beer in a gumboot

He’ll finish them off quite gladly

Ode to XCV

There once was a Basher called Mat

Who carried a big red sack

What had he in there?

Lots of ice cold beer

It doesn’t get much better than that!

Ode To XCIII

There Once Was A Basher Called Thomas

Through Beer Goggles, Quite The Adonis

A Distinguished Sort Of Chap

Who Knew Much Useless Crap

Now The Credit Crunch Has Taken Him From Us

Paul and Naomi have had a big bouncing baby boy!!!

Ode To XXXIX

There Once Was A Basher Called Ollie

A Wicket Keeper By Golly

In The Nets He Bowled Well

So Earned An Opening Spell

And Went On To Bowl Nothing But Lollies

Bitter’s Sweet Baby

Bashers – we have a new recruit!

Vikram “Bitter” Joshi (XCVII) is the new proud Dad of this fine specimen 

Needless to say all our best Basher wishes go out to Vik and his expanding family

Ode To LXXXVII

There Once Was A Basher Called Dean

Who For Years Was Not To Be Seen

‘Til We Needed A Boost

And He Said “Let’s Get Loose”

And Bowled A Few Down The Beam

Happy 29 Mr Unit!

A Message From Woodie

To All Of The Bashers Who Rhyme

Believe Me It Is Now The Time

To Here Have Some Fun 

With A Joke Or A Pun

But The Onus Is Not All Mine

All Bashers will soon be endowed with their own chant. It is open too all bashers to create their own prose for the basher of their choice. something shakespearean, or limerickish, the choice is yours.

all those with contributing privileges are encouraged to bring it on now!
