Bashers Cricket Club

Lumberjacks from October 2004

Part of the research into the Bashers Honours Board performances has unearthed these short match reports (thanks largely to Inquisition finally checking his email), which should be added to the Bashers Lumberjack archives.

Santa Fe Sixes Report, 8 August 2004

SCC Newsletter Report by Omega: An ambitious schedule of 14 games proved a little too much... a few stragglers delayed the first game, and the schedule never recovered to offer the 4 games for each team. A big congrats to the Aussie Rules boys who turned up on time (if not rested and sober) and had a good showing in their first game. Apologies to those who only played 2 games, and a big thanks for those who played for 2 teams early on to get it all going. Next week’s schedule will have 3 games per team in what we hope (if everyone turns up on time) to keep on time but more of that later.

Bashers vs Pudong/Dulwich Lumberjack, 4 July 2004

SCC Newsletter Report by the Anti-Basher: Buoyed by their first victory, the Bashers came into this match with yet more new signings against a severely depleted Pudong side fielding several last minute stand-ins - including the face of SFC and star of Xinjiang cricket, Sadik Hoxur.

Bashers vs Maharajahs Lumberjack, 27 June 2004

Report from the SCC Newsletter by the Anti-Basher: The Hallelujah Chorus rang out over Pudong as the Bashers - at the sixth attempt - finally claimed their first ever win.

Bashers vs Hot Dogs Lumberjack, 23 May 2004

Report in SCC Newsletter from the Anti-Basher: It's tough being a Basher at the moment. They've not won a game yet, a controversial appeal is still hanging over them, and their injury-list is growing. Even their sponsor is being forced to relocate, though we're not sure how much of this we can actually blame on the Bashers.

The Day of Infamy… Bashers vs Hot Dogs, 9 May 2004

Report from the Anti-Basher in SCC Weekly Newsletter: For the past few months, the Bashers - Hot Dogs clash has been a war of words fought out on the battlefields of Mao Ming Lu; when the teams finally took to the field, it was as explosive as it promised to be, with plenty of short-pitched bowling, sledging and boundaries, in what turned out to be a nail-biter.
