Notes About The Poem

IT'S NOT CRICKET

NOTE:Twenty overs a side cricket,under lights, is set to rival soccer as a 
spectator sport,was played in the early 'f'ifties as an amateur evening league 
after work,lasting approx two hours,in May thru July before the evening light 
faded.Nothing new under the sun,except for marketing men! Watch out this could 
become as popular as soccer now is at amateur level in parts of US ....might 
even compete with baseball at pro level !Now that would be something!

Its Not Cricket

repost inspired by Phil contest

IT'S NOT CRICKET

Twenty-twenty is its new name
For this fast action cricket game
Now, set to find world-wide acclaim-
An evening sport of my youth
Re-packaged..but really long -in-the-tooth
