3rd XI

Leisure v Hotdogs 15.6.25 at NAIC

Leisure turned up at the NAIC ground at 8am,  all 11 players on time despite the start time being moved up 30 minutes at short notice due to predicted rain.The kit was locked away out of reach, but leisure took the chance to get an extended fielding warmup and eventually play got under way, still before the scheduled start. Korean won the toss and inserted the Hotdogs in dry conditions.Paps and Focus opened up and kept the scoring rate low, Paps going for 10 off 3 overs and Focus bowling  his full quota of 4 for 23 runs. Focus took a sharp caught and bowled to start the wickets, and soon got a plumb lbw and a low catch taken by Mr. Tickle at square leg.Mr Tickle replaced Paps and bowled 2 tight overs as Hotdogs were kept quiet early on. Fielding standards were high, with Rooty and Hub patrolling covers and mid wicket to great effect.Yeti Dick took over from Focus and Hotdogs continued to struggle against spin - he clean bowled 2 batters with well flighted deliveries and only went for 17 off 4 wily overs.Fling bowled a couple of luckless overs as the rain began to fall and apparently made the ball too slippery for Mr. Tickle to catch. Twice. Square Root bowled a couple and got a caught and bowled while only going at a run a ball.Cracker showed all of his experience and cunning during this time by making such an inaccurate throw that the next ball the batters assumed thay could take a run on his arm. They were wrong as he rocketed it in and sent the top scoring Doggie on his way.Eunuch and Paps finished off the bowling effort, with Paps only conceding 2 in the 19th over. Eunuch wasn't quite so parsimonious, but did take a wicket on the penultimate ball, skied to Korean with the gloves. Fling then  finished off the innings with a good throw from near the boundary to get the 9th wicket run out.With just over a run a ball needed to get the 125 target, but mindful of Duckworth-Lewis as the rain began to fall more steadily, Cracker and Gu Ailing made their way to the middle. First ball Ailing played solidly off the middle of the bat.And that was it. The rain came in heavier and the game was soon abandoned with Leisure probably favourites to get yet another win. Leisure lose their perfect record but remain unbeaten and in form.Hotdogs 124/9 off 20 overs. Bashers Leisure 0/0 off 0.1 overs. No result.

Bashers Arrive in Fours, Still Give the Devils Hell

The Arrival – Swiper Time, Scenic Detours & a Bashers Headcount Crisis The Bashers arrived — or rather, trickled in — to NAIS’ picturesque new ground. Pretty, petite, and surrounded by the kind of tranquillity that did not foreshadow the chaos to come.

Jacking From Afar – Business vs Pudong March 31, 2024

It was a toasty 8 degrees in the beautiful city of York, UK, when the Bashers began to assemble thousands of miles away for their season opener against certified D-bags Pudong. 

Manila Sixes 2023

Saturday Roundup Friday's rekindling of friendships and reminiscences of past tours were now long past, time to get down to the nitty gritty of competition. The first fine went to Tank, who after organising some delightful transport to get us there in style, failed to bring the 'music box' and thus we had to sit in silence for the whole day. Cracker was apoplectic as his superior 'waterproof music centre' had been thoroughly rebuffed by our Manila local and had therefore remained in Shangers.Three games to attend, three sides to assemble from ten available tourists, sorry, make that nine, team skipper Skid Row failed to make the bus and captained remotely from the hotel all morning.It was felt that our best chance of a victory would be in the first game, but to be honest, after the night before, how we felt would not be the best barometer for decision making. Looking resplendent in inspired Birdy designed tour shirts, 6 individually selected Bashers took to the field in hopes of at least nabbing the 'spirit of cricket' trophy. The notable playing moments can be summarised as follows...

Leisure v Devils May 7

Was it Talk Like a Pirate Day? No, that is in September. Whatever the motivation, the skipper inspired an unusually punctual and cheerful team to arrive and the rain did stay away. It was an unseasonably pleasant temperature too and everyone seemed in a good mood - Omega even managed to get to the ground without abusing the Didi driver for the first time this year.

What do the Bashers do now? How to end Season 2020

The SCC want to know what you all want to do for the rest of the season. That's a little hippie, but we like many things hippies do for fun.

A Little Loose In The Field – Bashers vs Hot Dogs B – 2nd August 2020

A little loose in the field, one wicket for Juggler and three for Focus @4 from a very tidy spell the highlights. A disappointed GOM had a dropped catch and a missed stumping in his 2 overs for 21. A nervous Skipper hoping that these incidents would not cost them this critical match.

The Return of the Prodiball Son – Bashers VS Dulwich 26th July 2020

He's back! Having driven for five hours then travelled by train for seven and a half, Fisty Cymbals returned to the Basher homeland ready for some long overdue cricketing action. After a nervous Saturday waiting to see if the weather gods would be kind, all was confirmed and the XI rolled up by various means of transport to SCSC on the Sunday morning ready to smash the Dulwich kids.
