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:

Bashers Day

Bashers President Mal Collins today decreed that April 27 shall henceforth be known as “Bashers Day”. It is unknown whether his motivation for this announcement was that it was his birthday, his golden duck, the two bashers victories or that he was just plain drunk.
