Bashers Cricket Club

Leisure Lumberjack from 1 July 2012 vs Pudong DreamTeam

Pre-Bus Camel - two returnees in the shape of Post-Op and Woodstock -- the latter fresh from visiting the Jag's family in Italy, and Post-Op back from the rainy delights of Northern Europe. A fairly uneventful pre-bus camel experience, unlike the Sunday just passed by all accounts!

Pleasure v Devils Digital, July 29, 2012.

It's not pretty when you walk into The Camel Bar and the first thing you see is 10-15 of the most unfit, hung-over, loser-looking cretins you are ever likely to see. But, enough about the Voodoo Soccer Team. To the left of them, gathered around the pool table were God's gift to cricket, women and Shanghai bus drivers, The Bashers Pleasure and Leisure.

LUMBERJACK (Billy’s report)- Pleasure vs Hot Doggies 15th July 2012

Billy's Report!!! A fine day it was and a fantastic day for the Bashers!! From the pumping music provided by DJ Pothole to decisive tactics to even Sinbad disobeying the captain's orders for having a cheeky one, it was all happening on the bus with the leisure boys adding to the entertainment. It was bound to be an eventful day. Yes, the pleasure boys were all set and ready to rumble. Many were greeted to the half-naked Genghis who was sharing his mighty experiences.

SCC Pirates vs Lamma CC

Since I missed most of the actual game in the video, it is necessary to record some of the events of the day. I arrived at 11am as the token 3rd Division player selected - still something of a mystery to me too! The SCC shirt was provided, complete with dashing SCC-red stripes on the sides, and offering an interesting colour combination with the Bashers CC trousers and cap (marginally better than the Korean's flaming orange hat). The Bashers CC were represented by the "Inquisition", "Tank", and myself - plus we provided the scorer and umpire!

Leisure vs Dads & Lads

What a win, what a day!... Bashers all the way! So, the day started without any issues, and Leisure and Pleasure were off off together to start what would become our next Bashers Day! :)

PLEASURE LUMBERJACK – BASHERS vs P/POWER (July 8, 2012)

On a day when, in 57 overs only 7 wickets were taken, what can it be??? Good batting, great partnerships, non-penetrative bowling or just sloppy catching????? After a debacle in the last match it was important we picked ourselves up and got back to our winning ways...indeed we did!!

Late, Late, Late Lumberjack!!!!

Pleasure v Leopards (23rd June 2012) As the moon was setting and the sun rising Bashers Pleasure boys were waking in their beds, with a 06:45 bus leaving the Camel and a start at 08:00 hrs it was going to be a looooooong day!!

Tiny’s Business v Devils Lumberjack

The game started in misty rain, and with Bashers bowling first, both batsmen and bowlers faced different challenges. Batsmen have to cope with deliveries that fly off the wet pitch, and bowlers need to manage the wet ball. Two early wickets â€“ fine catches for Lâ€™Epa and Hog â€“ suggested the bowlers were winning. The key passage of the match was to follow â€“ Sanjay and Newton put together the only sizeable partnership of the game, and in the final analysis, this was the match-winning period of the game for the Devils.

Business vs Pudong Power – 24th June – Lumberjack

Boy oh boy, did I pull the short straw on Lumberjacking this match. Apologies in advance for a somewhat short review â€“ I think most involved in the game have spent the week trying to erase the 6 hours from our memoryâ€¦

Bashers Leisure vs Daredevils â€“ Sun 24 June

I donâ€™t think thereâ€™ll ever be a Sunday start like this one.Â The camel looked decidedly normal from the outside but the sight of SinBad, stickered cap on pointing the way,Â swaying in the darkness like some dancing bear on steroids was enough to send any ultimate party animal into hysterics.
