Bashers. It's Shanghainese for Cricket

Bashers @ The Sixes

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.

SICS 08 Bashers Games

The first draft of the draw has been approved (apart from the anti-basher who is never happy).

For THE FIRST TIME EVER no first thing in the morning games for the Bashers. We do however have Scoring duties for the very start of the tourney on Friday am. We need capable scorers, umpires and some people to operate scoreboards which can be done by monkeys so there’s opportunities for everyone.

The Bashers are in the Shoes Group.

First Game vs Murava Presidents VI (including Heals) at 11:40am Friday

Second vs The White Knights (Merv) at 10:40am Saturday

Third vs CBB at 4:00pm Saturday

Finals – Sunday

Now i’ve highlighted the game times but of course most action occurs off the pitch and everybody is encouraged to spend the whole weekend at the ground enjoying the sun and some quiet beverages.

The full draw (draft) is available here (UPDATED).

so who is and isn’t available to play the tournament?
