Bashers Cricket Club

It’s official. By popular vote of those who are physical enough to rock up to training and drinks the new Bashers team names have been decided. In the end it was an undeniably resounding majority decision.

Without ado at all …

The Bashers side in the SCC first division will be known as The Bashers “Business”

The team competing in the second division will be known as The Bahsers “Pleasure”

Congrats to Woodstock for dreaming this concept up and showing a glimpse of the workings of his mind. A case of beer is yours if you know what to do with that.

Close runners-up and honourable mentions;

Darkness and Light (Kasem) – probably a bit cerebral for most – if you don’t understand this one – learn some Latin.

Kegs & Slabs (Omega)

Hammers & Sledges ( BS)

Thanks to all for your contributions – this is your club, enjoy.

There is still the question of what to call the sixes side when they turn out later in the summer. Sponsors anyone?

LAST WEEK TO GET YOUR ENTRIES IN!

It’s competition time!

With the reorganisation of the SCC league system the Bashers will now have two competing teams (you’re all welcome to play for either/both)

• The Santa Fe Premiership is a 40 over comp and supposedly of the highest level.
• The Santa Fe Championship is a 25 over “2nd XI” comp which will be of a high level also.

The point of this post though is to announce your chance to win beer. The old team names “league” and “20-twenty” are both inappropriate and a little lame so we’d like the Bashers to get thinking and come up with some cool new names for these teams. Something Basher-like, something catchy, something easy to spell. Bonus points for also having a name for  the Sixes side. Leave your suggestions in the comments below.

Winning entry will get a case of delicious beer! (not to mention the prestige)

There is a great little interactive map from the Guardian of cricket’s less sterling moments (click on the pic to view the full map).

Interestingly, nothing bad seems to have happened in New Zealand.

We’re expecting a full tournament report from a prominent basher any day now (volunteers?) but to tide you over a couple of moments to remember.

Some Trivia (we love trivia).

Before last weekend’s historic win by the Basher’s league team, when was their previous victory?

Bashers Boozers…

Some of our fellow Bashers are currently in North Korea. As probably the first ever cricket tour to the “North”, I thought there would be more coverage. ALAS…I’ve found this:
