    Bledisloe Cup, Hong Kong, 30/10/2010

    Tickets are out. Pot Bellied Pigs have provisionally allocated me 10 of which 4 are spoken for. Price is HK$1000 (B class). Can’t remember who else asked although I think Woodstock and Golden Shears asked for tickets previously. Need to confirm by Saturday. Let me know if you want one.

    Like last time before the game at HK Football Club there will probably be some form of lunch at the HK Football Club hosted by I think Eric Rush and some Aussie whose name I forget. Gavin Hastings and I planning to host a table that the ticket holders would be welcome to attend. Also the Pigs will be having a Piggy shindig the night before with some drunk rugby has -beens doing their drunk rugby thing where the Fat Man will doing his Fat Man MC stuff.

    Cuba & The Bay of Pigs

    Further to the discussion on Wednesday night some of us had with the Pot Bellied Pigs Chairman, Anson Bailey, the Pigs have now fedback that they are on for a joint rugby and cricket tour next spring to Cuba with The Bashers. This would be a two week trip and the plan is to fly around the World following the Sun with a stopover in Italy on the way there and either Toronto or Vancouver on the way back. So it really is a World Tour. Players from both teams can play for the other team so if Bashers fancied lacing up their rugby boots there would be games of rugby as well. (more…)

    Bashers in KunLunQi, Inner Mongolia

    Bashers Cricket in Inner Mongolia

    “Hi, I’m Richard, do you want to see my underpants?”

    What better way for a Basher to greet the Million Tree Project representative Heather Wigmore on arrival at Kun Lun Qi, Inner Mongolia, a town of 50,000 in one of China’s poorest areas  The Bashers trio of Parrot, Pusher and Woodstock had just traversed 200km of arid zone, invigorated by fresh air, sunshine, blue skies, and a third place at the Frank’s Place pub quiz the previous night. Parrot was understandably euphoric after making up severe deficiencies in his  underwear ensemble during a snack stop on the way from TongLiao airport.  The Bashers faced a busy few days in the desert, and it was not the time for wardrobe malfunctions.

    Shanghai Cricket Gives Back

    Shanghai Cricket Hope Elementary School Opens in Sichuan

    School Visit Report by Ainsley Mann

    The 2008 Sichuan Earthquake saw an unparalleled response from the Government, Corporate and NGO sectors as well as private philanthropists. However not many sports organisations were able to mobilize themselves in the way the Shanghai Cricket did, a fact made all the more unusual by cricket’s almost unknown status in China. Shanghai Cricket’s endeavors finally bore fruit this month when the Si Pan Village Elementary School formally reopened. The school also carries the name of Shanghai Cricket Hope Elementary School in recognition of the partnership between Shanghai Cricket and the China Youth Development Foundation’s Project Hope rural schools programme.

    Sichuan School Trip – April 16th

    Any of you old enough to remember the 2008 Sixes will recall that the two auctions we organised that week in HK and Shanghai raised enough money to rebuild a school destroyed by the Earthquake. Together with a couple of my staff I am going there on April 16th (leave Chengdu on 15th) so if any of you have business in Chengdu and want to join the trip let me know. Its a hell of a road trip. Guanyuan is halfway between Chengdu and Xian up a mountain somewhere. The school classrooms and dormitories are now finished so the school is fully functioning. The funds raised have allowed the school to get an extra piece of ground for sports facilities and work is just about to start. The school is actually called the Shanghai Cricket Project Hope school although no-one is sure the good citizens of Guanyuan know what cricket is.

    Inner Mongolia U11 Cricket Team

    Woodstock and I will be taking cricket to the mighty Mongolian race at the end of this month when we head to Ku LunQi in Inner Mongolia to plant Bashers Bush. At the Baga Tala Sumu elementary school we will be doing a spot of coaching for Inner Mongloia’s finest cricketing prospects so if anyone has any junior size bats we could borrow let me know. A few spare Bashers caps would also go down well. The arrival of Woodstock in Baga Tala Sumu will be the biggest news item in those parts for at least a generation.
