Bashers Cricket Club
Xiamen Cricket & Beach Party
Xiamen Typoons have formally invited the Bashers to come to Xiamen and launch cricket in Xiamen. The Typhoons were voted the most social side at the Shangahai 7s but were totally disappointed with the hospitality and drinking ability of the Shanghai rugby teams. They have challenged the Bashers to restore the pride in Shanghai and come to Xiamen to play the first ever game of cricket in Xiamen. The game will take place at the iconic Gu Lang Yu stadium on Gu Lang Yu Island. The plan is a morning game game followed by 6s. This is a once in lifetime opportunity to break new ground and restore Shanghai’s tarnished image.
In return the Typhoons will do the following:
- Provide a BASHERS BOAT for the day.
- Organise an ALL NIGHT beach party in HONOUR of the Bashers. Note that the Typoons beach parties attract between FIVE HUNDRED and ONE THOUSAND people.
- Organise TV coverage. (see attached link)
- Sell Kooka pies at the event and allow Kooka pies to promote their wares at key pubs in Xiamen (already done by a certain Kooka pies fan from Scotland)
- Provide a stage and a PA system not only for commentary but for a band if Omega feels so inclined to get really loose. And/or a band stage can also be set up at the beach party.
- Raise the Scottish flag at the stadium (well I had to ask)
I was at the first meeting of the Xiamen Typhoons cricket team who were rapidly assembled following a quick discussion at the 7s. They want to rock ‘n’ roll.
Some Bashers might be interested to know that earlier this year the Typhoons Rugby team played a benefit game in honour of their biggest substance abuser.
If you don’t believe me about the ground and beach party go look for yourself.
This is full one for 24 hours. You can leave Friday and return Sunday. I realise the Kiwis & English may have trouble keeping up with the pace but I would hope that we can get a team…..the BASHERS BEACH PARTY and BASHERS BOAT awaits you.
I am an old bastard and I am full on for this. So I hope we can show the Typhoons when it comes to being the best social team around we are up for a major party.

Sold. I can vouch for the drinking and musical capabilities of these folk, they're like pirates on shore leave.
Mine. I shall wear my Speedos.
I am all over this one!!! The parrot wouldn't miss a good priate shin-dig. but someone pls tell Jag that he can leave his speedos in Italy. I wanna drive the basher's boat.
SOunds like an awesome event... in
Count me in
Oh no... a boat full of Bashers drunkards. Reckon we could convince the 'skipper' to set sail for Taiwan?
I is in
Yes, yes ,yes. I'm on a boat! http://you.video.sina.com.cn/b/20773165-1059496335.html
Ready to rock the boat!
Forgot to mention beach cricket will be on the agenda and the fact that the Typhoons have recruited an Italian for their team. Jag with speedos is therefore a must.
'Stock is heading for the beach. Peace and Love. Good, Good, Good, Good Vibrations
umm sorry but where is Xiamen??? and how do we get there? If I aint away on work I would luv to be there!!! SINBAD on a BOAT- get amongst it!!!
SinBad, all those points above are completely irrelevant to the decision process of going or not. Cricket, Beer, Beach, Beer, Boat, Beer. Thats what went through my head, not necessarily in that order.
I am all over this one. Looking forward to being a wreck on the ship

Please kindly contact Ainsley "Pusher" Mann to arrange your payment for flight tickets. He has to make a group booking and expecting him to pay in advance for a whole club cannot be done. Therefore please ensure that you contact Ainsley ASAP and arrange to pay him for your flight thus securing your spot in what plans to be a fantastic tour.
Gents I have had to unfortunatley withdraw from any beach frollicking as my parents are in town. Mr & Mrs Loose Snr weren't convinced on the idea of stealing a boat and setting sail for Formosa; alas I'll be babysitting them and the bub. God speed gents, I'll be praying to the cricket Gods Xiamen rolls out the red carpet. PS - they have GREAT massage joints in Xiamen. Enjoy.
