Good things happen to good people!

The Polar Bears won quite convincingly on the weekend and were not distracted by the grunts, the swearing, the in fighting, the goon, the I'm so hungover, the I can't remember getting home, the chappo, the talk while the bowler comes in to bowl, the major wanker factor and the 33.2 degrees heat!

Yes the good guys prevailed!

The Polar Bears won the toss against the heavily hung over Black Swans ( thats what they kept telling us!) and had no hesitation in making them bat. A heavy girthed bogan asked us if we would like to put the boundaries back as an international student who they racially abused all day had no ideas about the size a cricket ground needed to be. As the rest of the team abused us for putting the cones back, the heavily girthed opening batsman, who was also still pissed from last nights goon, had already forgetten about our converation and tried to clear the now sizeable boundaries. Little did they know that Stephen Gribble our specialist mid off fieldsman does not just stop the balls with his thigh but can also catch. Risking a broken finger and in full alligator style, speciaiist Gribble pulled off one of the catches of the season, and for the heavily girthed opening batsman he was now regretting no fully gettting on the goon last night! Gribble showed it was no fluke by pulling off an even better catch off Drady's bowling. The catches were sticking when their out of place, almost sensible opening bat, sliced one to gully and GT held the catch.

The goon and the memory of loose women was now really taking its toll on the evil Black Swans and by drinks, and thanks to some creative scoring they had raced to 6 for 86 off 20.

The period after drinks was possibily the most painful for the Bears, not because the scoring rate had sky rocketted, drop catches or the slight chance of heat stroke. For the next 8 overs we had to put up with the gratuitous repartee of Dean Chapman and his best mate 80s sunglasses. Two of the biggest tools to ever hit the cricket field. Thank god for Azz who managed to removed 80s sunglasses and then the rest of the tail. Azz is bowling brilliantly at the moment and finished with 4 for 25. We fielded exceptionally well and for the best part of it bowled good line and length.

Chasing 131 would seem to be an easy task, but we are the Polar Bears and batting collaspes are part of our make up. In saying this we got of to the worst possible start and when century maker from last week GT got the ball of the century, we were 3 for 2. Enter AndyMX after refusing to protect his skipper and sending Armface in as a sacraficial lamb, hit the ball well from the start. The evil Black Swans had no answers for MX an his unorthadox batting style! Howie did a great job to see out their opening bowlers, Howiever! the partnership of the inning was the MX /Azz partnership of 95. MX was out 15 short of the total and his hundred. This statistic was pointed out shortly before MX was dismissed! No fault to the skipper. Drady the reluctant batter, slogged a quick fire 10 and with the steady Azz saw us home and a great victory over the evil Black Swans.

Thanks to Pope, Radic and Spooner who braved the heat and were on stand by to give CPR to a very weary and heat strictened Gribbs if it was required.

We are now in good shape for the finals but must keep winning.

As for the evil Black Swans. I am sure they left the oval and went back to a life of goon, loose women, grunting, abusing each other and being total .......... (you know what I mean).

Harruh to the good guys! All hail the winners!!
