Well, what can I tell you about both my names?
I'm not quite sure where I should start,
'Vivian' means 'lively' which raises a smile
to friends of this tired old fart.
It's not very common as names for men go,
and famous Vivians very few

Great careers are not shaped by hopes,
No one like him to fill easily the loopholes;
The gladiatorial spark which he spread,
Under Tendulkar's shine it got fade;
Mr. Dravid a classical batsmen's epitome,
His generosity here and there roam;
You will always like him on greenery when India 20/4,
With Steyn,Anderson...

In the year 1989,
A long time ago!
I heard Sachin smash Qadir,
On the radio!

Test Cricket,
Was the name of the game!

His sound batting prowess,
Made every bowler yield!

He conquered every record,
He’s the only King!
Not just a...

The lush green fields drive me crazy

Oh...

In twenty three a star was born,
A supernova amateur
Amongst a galaxy of pros.
Self-taught, he’d gain respect from all.

His generous spirit helped the young
With finance and encouragement
Inspired a post-war generation
Of graduate astronomers.

So many aspects to his life :
A TV personality,
Cheerful monocled professor,
Enthusiastic cricketer
(He bowled a vicious...

Peter I knew since our childhood
though as a youth he wasn’t good,
but then Joan cured him of all that,
two babies in a two roomed flat.
 
Now Frank came later to my life,
by when, like him, I had a wife,
so here we were all at the...

It was the best of times for us, we lovers of the game
The field was green and sweetly laid
And you whispered swift wind, storm with silver flame
The red eyed ball silent, and unafraid.

The knights wore white who came to joust, each cause
Against our claim, we...
