At The Cricket Ground
Monday 18 August
First ball he misses,
Second he nicks, but third he
Slogs a mighty six.
Tuesday 19 August
Tipples and ripples
Of applause at Lords; beers and
Cheers at Headingley.
Wednesday 20 August
Idle to runway.
Mighty growl. Surge to top speed,
Take off.….and then bowl.
Thursday 21 August
So you’re a spin fan?
Off? Leg? Chinaman? Warne or
Muralitharan?
Friday 22 August
The Surrey bunch were
Out by lunch, Kent got lots, and
It’s raining at Notts.
