Test Cricket
I love to watch test cricket just to watch the skill.
The contest ‘twixt bat and ball gives me such a thrill.
The beauty of a well played shot, scoring six or four,
The solid, good defensive shot, solid as a door!
The skill of the slow bowler using dip and spin.
The seamer who can move the ball going out or in.
The grace of the fast bowler running in to bowl
The batter’s apprehension with bumpers on the whole!
The tension of a maiden, the excitement of appeals
The waiting for the umpire to tell just what he feels!
It is the sign of summer that lives within my heart
Every year I cannot wait for the tests to start!
