Spirits were high as Bashers Pleasure left the Big Bamboo in the team’s new transport mode of red taxis.
Captain Tank was well-primed that following Pleasure’s horrible loss the previous Sunday, the plan was to bat first and bat long.
He lost the toss and was promptly inserted, the God’s smiling on The Tank’s pre-ordained plan. Swahili and Smasher led the charge; Swahili lasting only a few balls including a dropped catch behind and Smasher contributing a quick fire 20 before perishing in the gully. Bugs followed and managed two boundaries before playing a horrible, mistimed pull which was snapped up at mid-wicket. Circus did not trouble the scorers which bought Tank to the crease to join Sir Dick who had come in at the last moment in preference to watching Lady Dick’s touch rugby game which was being played on an adjacent field. This was a rather pathetic attempt to show who wore the trousers in the Churchill household but one gratefully acknowledged by his team mates as he compiled 50 not out in a stand of 76 with Captain Tank whose repeated lusty baseball pulls from outside off to the leg side boundary seemed to consistently flummox the opposition. Long Dong aided Captain Tank at the end of the innings allowing Pleasure to set an imposing 169 to win.

Business Boys will be seeking revenge against the Devils and their evil leader this Sunday.
12:15 kick off at Dulwich College.
10:30 rendezvous at the Big Bamboo (or 11:30 at the ground please). Will be sharing taxis out to the ground.
Selection:
Revenge is a dish best served hot.
Lets do it.
Delayed announcement for the weekends selections – apologies, but we are now there…
Two games – both taking place at Dulwich this weekend (so proper cricket on a ‘proper’ track…)
First game is tomorrow (Saturday 12th Sept) when we see the Pleasure Team take on Pudong Power.
Game starts at 13:00 – so be at the Bamboo by 11:30.
Owing to Pornstar Xiansheng being a money grabbing so and so – we currently have no bus – so taxis will be shared to get to the ground
