Call it Bazball or just Test Cricket
We knew from the get go after Brendon accepted the call…jettisoned old school for new cool..the Kiwi on the balcony who looks like he’s smoked some bud..having a kip..let slip..quick to quip..almost let rip..did appall..won't linger..two finger flip..nip it in the bud..say no go…skip..snip..crud dud pick…so toodlepip..tally ho to the thick not slick Bazball blip..this is his bliss trip
Keen to reject…diatribes on how it didn’t reflect..the vibes..his tribe imbibes show some respect..this moniker was Christmas or Hanukkah..only for the scribes…like a new game..lists with constant twists on the name..Baz and Ben Who is the leader..and the bucket hat men…won’t back this seedier media stack..shun some pun fun..out of whack..well it’s not for everyone one..go on the attack..got the knack of having a crack at the hack pack..give them flak being so slack..like on the track
Rib tickles and pokes..but is it afterall BazBall…or maybe BenBall..more at the mo..BazBat gung ho than BenBat hey ho.. getting tasty..lively..will it be BazBrawl….BenBuzz… BazJazz…BenFizz ..or BazBiz…Ben rabbit out of a hat habit..BazSickTrick…Ben’sSchool…BazPizzazz..BenCool..BazRazzle or BenDazzle...StokesBlokes…BazRazmattazz..BensMen…BazGall….StokesFolks
BazEnthrall…StokesStrokes..BazFull..StokesSmokes..BazCoolCat or bit cruel BazFool..how about BenRule..BazSpool..BenBazPool..BenJokes…Baz Tokes..BazBenTool..…BenBros..BazHoes.. BenBazKen..BenNuke…BazFluke..or just Ben or Baz Zen
Maybe we should avoid…indeed ignore the need to belittle…to feed the rattle..skittle the void..whittle the prattle of schadenfraude.. tabloid tittle tattle
Let’s no longer keep score..post poor nicknames..shut the door..no encore..silly billy willy nilly games..because with more zest than all the rest..let’s toast and boast..that the host of the most glorious sort of our sport should always be a battle…at its best..a conquest..fond pleasure treasure chest..a fest..beyond measure
So chomping at the bit..let’s stop it..pop it…drop it..the..did you catch it..inane frame a name..lacking wit....slightly..old git..fame game gambit
no need to hatch it or patch it…nothing will match it or snatch it…will always pick it…will win…can’t flick it…ignore the din..no need to nick or snick it…no thin skin chagrin..let’s go back to where we did begin…because for me it’s just the ticket,I’m plumping for not the galling..appalling Bazballing.. in the thick of it
On the wicket..no stone walling..how about calling it,Test cricket
