Past Times 5
A CRICKET vignette
mid-summer,evening league cricket.
Fifty years fade from view
they’ve labelled it
Twenty-Twenty & think
of it as something new.
T20 is its new name
a fast action cricket game
Now, has world-wide acclaim-
An evening sport of my youth
Re-packaged..in truth ..long -in-the-tooth
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 baseball.
