A depressing cloud of grey
Is hovering over us
Everything going downhill
The Ashes turning to dust
Two games down
Three more to go
The English are one up
And we have nothing yet to show
Gone seem the days
When we were invincible
Now our batting and bowling
Both seem in trouble
Struggling to get the runs
And the wickets they don't come
The batsman are looking edgy
While the bowlers coming undone
In order to get the trophy
It is but a fact
We need to go back to basics
With both ball and bat
Stay at the crease
Wait it out for long
It is a five day game
To get the score moving along
Bowling must be consistent
Both line and length
Not all over the place
With just speed the intent
If none of this works
Then, in order to win
The best bet would be
To bring the former cricketers back in!

ReplyDeleteI know...it's been ages since my last creative writing attempt. I think after my class finished in September, it was like my mind stopped working! :P Thanks Nu!
ReplyDeleteNice post for the winning theme.
ReplyDeleteNice :D
ReplyDeleteWelcome to this space! And thanks :)
ReplyDeleteThanks T...I'm starting to get really annoyed with the way we are playing currently...each time I think it can't get any worse, the team manages to surprise me.
ReplyDeleteBring Boon back
ReplyDeleteBring Boon back :D
Nice piece this one :-)
They should bring Gilly back really! Australia is missing the former players way too much. Actually when they left I thought they had good bench strength but now I can feel the void. English are playing so well that OZ are looking like minnows... really! I like to see tough match so I hope Ox pulls up its socks real soon.
ReplyDeleteAww How I missed this place !! and especially you PB!! :)
ReplyDeleteThis was a nice poem!
ReplyDeleteHehe...and Gilly, and McGrath, and Steve Waugh and Warnie and Langer and Hayden... :P
ReplyDeleteIt'd be great if he could come back...even as a batsman! We need the likes of Glenn McGrath more though...someone who can bowl consistently... =) But looks like some there's been some impact on the team with this win... =)
ReplyDeleteMatty...welcome back!! Where art thou been?? Hope to see you up and running... =D
