Edgar Allen Poe may as well of been talking about the Polar Bears in his poem 'The Raven' was such the horror and frustration of the loss to lowly placed Sunday Ravens.

GT lost the toss again and the bears were forced to field. What resulted was some very good batting from Opening Ravens who quothed on many occasions 'Thats four more'. We dropped opening Raven three times and even a hamstring injury could not stop him from batting for everymore. The Ravens could not be stopped in accumulating 4 for 218 off there 40 overs. GT was the best of the bowlers with 3 wickets and AndyMX 1 but could have had a couple more.

The Bears were confident in getting the 218 and getting rid of the Ravens for everymore! Off to a bad start with Damo getting out in the first over, however Adz was destined to get rid of the Ravens from our chamber door with some controlled hitting. He raced to 50 with Pope playing the Cool Hand Luke role at the other end. Adz looked like following Opening Raven in scoring 100 however was dismissed by local pie chucker for 84 of just 52 balls.

What followed was not pretty with the Polar Bears throwing away their wickets on regular occasions. 1 for 80 soon truned into 7 for 130 and eventually all out for 165? Armface was good in the lower order hitting the pie chucker over his head a couple of times and expressing a new superpower, 'The straight drive'. Adz was quoted as saying that Armface must of got strength from the sausages. So well cooked Bears!!

Other highlights
* There will be a national inquiry into who squashed the esky?'
* Jeff's facial courtesy of a pie chucking spinner who got alot of us out.
* The Bears forgiving Pommy for not cooking the BBQ
* Spooners life lesson of putting on sunscrean every two-four hours.
* Gribbsy 'broken promise' of failing to deliver a 200 run opening partnership with Chook. Would have won us the game!! Or was that the whit wine talking??

Disappointing result and the memory of being beaten by the bottom team: 'Shall be lifted nevermore!'
