A faultless display from the Bashers Business Boys sees us regain the top-spot in Division 1 with just one game remaining, with a performance that saw us gain full bowling and batting points.
In a game of many firsts, it should be noted that:
- No one was late for the bus
- The Driver did not get lost on the way to the ground
- The Skipper did not lose the toss
- No one bowled a wide
- No one dropped a catch
- Nobody got bowled
- And most amazingly – Sinbad did not throw his toys or complain about batting number 11…

You get the general idea…
Unfortunately Pudong pulled out of the game on Saturday evening as they had seen the strength of the Bashers XI due to face them (courtesy of this fine website) and only 5 volunteers were prepared to face the heat of a near full strength squad in the mild 36 degree humidity.

On the plus side – the Bashers roll continues – 5 victories in a row – and a good result against the Doggies in September will see us in the Finals.

On a hot summer’s morning the Pleasure squad began to arrive at the Camel, a win over the Devils would put us in a good position for 2^nd place in the league.

In the absence of “Bugs” the debut captain for the day was the “Young American” better known as “Tank”, as he walked into the bar there was a gasp amongst the players as he looked so young to take on this responsibility…..then we realized it was only EJ !!!

As normal practice getting to the SRFC proved to be difficult, even more so this week as there was no coach! In true Bashers style there was no panic, with Swahili and Golden Shears seizing the opportunity to order another round of beers…..Super Ninja to the rescue!!

Afternoon Gents,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you – been running around like a blue arsed fly today.
Team announcement for the big game against Pudong on Sunday:

2. Phil ‘Filthy’ Mildenhall
3. Hadleigh ‘Sir Dick’ Churchill

Big game – need to go large on the points scored.
It is a 12:15 game at the SRFC – as such we will be meeting at the Camel at 10:00 sharp for a 10:15 departure.
This will allow us to get lost and still have time to warm up.
The pre-match focus before the last game was spot-on and translated into a very effective performance, with bat, ball and just as importantly in the field. Lets do it again.

As usual – any nice comments - call me on 1376 137 0255.
And if anyone wants to complain or whinge – call Denzyl.

There is a BBQ at my house tommorow for all those who wish to come. Music,beer,sun will be in plenty supply.

Please sms me if you are interested.

Start time : around 2pm
