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.
