Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Last training of the regular season. 123 Yanping Road, San He Hua Yuan, Thursday 6pm to 8pm.
All three teams playing this Sunday so should be a good turnout (or at the very least more than the 5 than come last week!)

Season finale weekend – Pub crawl!

With all 3 teams heading into the final weekend of the Bashers season next week we need to go out with a bit of a bang and that doesn’t mean a trip to Manhattans (well maybe).

BASHERS PUB CRAWL

The long awaited Bashers pub crawl will stumble into action on the evening of Friday 23rd.

Meeting at The Camel between 7-8pm we will take in some of the finer establishments around the area. The route is a mystery, but trust me it will be varied and include a couple of inter team challenges along the way. Get to the Camel, get some food in, throw up later and get wasted!

Would really be great to see all 3 teams out getting involved with this one, so commit below.

Thursday Training

Training this Thursday from 6pm until 8pm at San He Hua Yuan, 123 Yanping Road. Please put your name down so I know to contact you when it rains and training is cancelled.

Pleasure Lumberjack: Pleasure v Leopards, Sept 11

On the anniversary of September 11, the Pleasure, pretty much on time at the ridiculous time of 6:37am Sunday morning, met at The Camel ready to tackle the Leopards and get some payback from our Muslim friends.

As it was a must win game for the Pleasure, the bus trip to the ground was spent;

• talking tactics – “we’re a better team when we chase”
• bowling approach – “keep the wides to a minimum, and take our catches”
• batting strategy – “if we bat out the overs, we should be right”
• rumour mill – “the circus is back in town”

None of these things would eventually happen, and we pray the last one doesn’t either. Plus, we welcomed our new English school teacher from Kenya via Taiwan, Andy to the team. Basher #183.

So, with a full team and Bugs not having to call up anyone’s ‘one night stand’ this week, (a bit of a shame), we arrived at the ground. Everyone got into their pregame rituals and warm-ups, such as Loose downing his second Pure Blonde before 8am, the Rock being late, and the most interesting and fortuitous being Tank’s circle of the oval moving all the cones back two metres (should have settled for two yards Tank). So, to the field we ventured… (more…)

Pleasure Report: Bashers vs Pudong

With the end of the season in sight and still well in the hunt, Pleasure assembled at the Camel on Sunday morning ready for the rubber match against Pudong Power. Skipper Bugs expressed his concern that one of the two debutants had failed to show up, and upon noting that the Hot Dogs – also rendezvousing at the Camel ahead of their match at Dulwich – only had three members total, proceeded to talk them out of the luxury bus, guaranteeing the Bashers a comfortable ride to the SRFC.

While en route, Bugs’ concern over the fate of the missing debutant grew to panic levels. He called his mobile, only to wake a “hot sounding” girl who confessed that she didn’t know where said debutant was; he insisted that Tank send an email with last minute directions to the SRFC; he even broached the idea of Shanghaiing a local who was walking along side the bus simply because he happened to be wearing all white. Despite this missing man, the team’s arrival at SRFC was uneventful, though looking back, perhaps the team should have taken better stock of the bus and its driver while disembarking. (more…)

Thursday Training
