Bashers Cricket Club

Triple Header Squads (12 April)

Thanks to everyone who made themselves available for the triple header this weekend, especially all the first-time Bashers. We are making history by naming four Chinese players, who will be part of the Bashers all season, so please make them feel welcome and part of the team! Any Bashers not selected this week are most welcome to come out to the SCSC to support the teams on Sunday.

Bashers President’s XI to play T20 against Songjiang University, Sat 12 noon

There was a mass availability for this match, so thanks to all Bashers for putting their hands up! After a difficult selection process based on talent, skill, earliest date of availability, and subs paid, we have selected the following side:

Pleasure (Sat) & Leisure (Sun) Teams are still on, Club Training is now cancelled

Here they are, the first Bashers teams of the season of 2015! Thanks to those putting their hand up on such short notice. We have a few new Bashers this weekend, which is great. Anyone wondering about whites can rest at ease, as the club store room at the Camel has leftover shirts from last season, caps, jerseys, training jackets (mostly M unfortunately) and trousers for 100RMB each - so just get along to the Camel early to sort those out.

Website, Membership, Elections, Committee... Yawn

REGISTER WITH SCSC

Bashers, This year we ALL need to individually sign up to play at the SCSC. It basically means you agree to the SCSC ground rules (and I've read the conditions and there isn't much in there). It is free, it is easy, and it'll make sure you get a SCSC card to buy food and beverages at the clubhouse.

Gaelic Report, 7th March

The Bashers Gaelic Team included: Stats, Shit Shoes, Messi, Miyagi, Korean, Cassius, Pope, and Tantric, plus some ringers as well. It was a beautiful day, if with a crisp breeze, and we had a lot of fun.

Bashers Slayers Lumberjack, 1 March

Bashers Slayers Lumberjack It's taken a while to get the scorecards from the arena, hence the slight delay in posting the match reports. This was a classic Chinese one-day weekend, and the Slayers were struggling for numbers until Messi and Parrot chirped that they would play late in the day before the match up. I should also like to mention that Hardon put his name forward at Bashers drinks on Thursday, and had to be reminded that he was playing on match day!

Bowled Over – Bashers make the Global Times!

Global Times met with some of the Bashers to discuss cricket in Shanghai over drinks before Chinese New Year. I think the main reason was because the Cricket World Cup was just starting in NZ and Australia (but it could also have been a very slow news week). Anyway, after meeting Shit Shoes and Korean, and then wechating with Sharapova, the reporter came up with this article.

Cricket World Cup Sweepstakes

The Bashers World Quiz was a great night out! Birdshit was at his cryptic best, and even snuck in a few "architecture" questions.

Bashers Slayers Lumberjack, 1 February 2015

Bashers Slayers 57 vs Cape Grape 92 Hot Dogs 111 vs Bashers Slayers 70 A cold, grey day for a brace of ragged Bashers Slayers performances, and Spanner's Stag night the previous day certainly didn't help. G'rilla and Paps had to work, so thanks to Cranky and Hothead for stepping up at the last minute. It was a pretty forgettable afternoon, so I'll focus on the positives:

Bashers Slayers Lumberjack, 18 January

The morning dawned hazy and cold, as Shitshoes, Peking & Messi arrived at the Camel just in time to see Starc claim the first Indian scalp at the MCG before heading off to the Arena. It was an empty & frosty Arena, and we discovered the Hot Dogs were short meaning Malpass & Cummings would play from the Hot Dogs A side. Korean, Sharapova & Long Dong arrived soon after to make up the Bashers Slayers team.
