Bashers Facebook Re-fresh

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!

Thursday Drinks at The Camel – Bashers Shot Selection Round 1

Now we are all back in the swing of things lets get back on track with some off season training! We need to start working on some important stuff for the 2012 season and I cant think of a better place to start than The Camel!

Firstly we need the 2012 Bashers Shot sorting out. This may seem insignificant to many but these will be forced upon you at a moments notice with no warning so we defiantly need to work on the recipe from last year.

The selected mix last season was;

Whisky
Drambuie
Grenadin
Lime
Bitters
Tabasco

Now i’m not saying this wasn’t an inspired selection but it did taste fairly rough. As always the Bashers strive to improve and we defiantly cant fail to improve on this.

So, come down for a drink and an open discussion and maybe a taste test or 2 this Thursday 12th from around 7pm.

Also after a few testers we can start practicing a reenactmentof this….

Fall Sports Boat Cruise. We’re on a BOAT!!! BOO YA!!! (Nov 25th 2011)

Yo guys!!! Check this out… the peeps from PubcrawlShanghai are organizing a big Boat Cruise party for all the sports teams in Shanghai. This looks like a cracker of a night as it starts with a pre-party at our very own “EL CAMEL” and moves over to the Huangpu river (I’m on a Boat!) with a “happy ending” at a VIP party on the Bund (I think…). Tickets are 250RMB and includes free flow beer and all that jazz. Have a look below and let me know if ur in by Monday so we can start organizing tickets (family and friends all invited!). BRING IT! (more…)

Fall Sports Boat Cruise (Friday Nov. 25th 6pm to 12am…ish)- I’m on a BOAT!!!

Alrighty Bashers!!!

The crew from PubCrawlShanghai are throwing a massive Sports Bash on the Huangpu River with free flow beer, cocktails and live band/DJ… Should be a cracker as the who’s who of Shanghai sports will be present! The night starts off with a pre-party at our very own sponsor “THE CAMEL” and moves onto the Huangpu (I’m on a boat) for some shenanigans before ending at a VIP party somewhere on the Bund (I think ZEAL).

Tickets are 250 Rambos and include all of the above with transport (except the cocktails which are 35rmb). Family and friends are invited. Guys this is a great way to rep the Bashers and the Shanghai Cricket League- they want us over so bad they’ve even reserved a table for us already on the boat! Have a look below and let me know by the end of the week if ur in or not and I can help sort out the tickets… It should be great preparation for the SCC AGM the next day! DO IT!!!! (more…)

BASHERS “BLAZERING” (the new “PLANKING”)

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!!!
