KG the OG WTC

Not just WTC..

KG has to be..the OG

Saffa Jaffa gaffer….sole goal

Batters harries
 
Carries..never parries

Weight and expectation

Fate & soul

Of a whole nation


South African speedster larder 

Is choc a block

Marco..new narco tyro

Already a believer 

The length & strength 

Octopus tentacles

Mr Tickle tendrils 

Hefty lefty lever


But their rock..Dr Spock

Shepherd of the flock

Heir and leader of their 

Racy pacy flair armada

No one tries harder

While looking so smooth

Ultimate slick quick pick

KG Rabada


Scolding batters..stagger..folding..

In tatters..crickey in the groove

Flatters…moves like Mikey Holding

Forget the coke farce

All swagger with the ball

Didn’t choke..Kagiso in full flow

Dagger and cloak bloke..VIP Pass


Follows champagne Steyn

Morkel reign and the  

Vernon sermon..Philander propaganda 

Trier…Makhaya fire campaign

Pollock bucolic frolic

Vibes of Donald diatribes 


Finally even the scribes subscribes

Imbibes this latest great

Pips the rest

Fastest to get 300 hundred wickets

So hot to trot…beats the elite lot

Oh and also got the best ever..Test strike rate

But a little glummer..the bummer

No home tests this summer

Just such a shame..some disdain

Dumber mandarin sins as they kowtow to the cash cow

Meaning Kagiso will fail…no way will play enough games

To end the fat stat tale

Reign of Dale Steyn


Oh and a lovely final aside

Not only did they lose the race

Aussie doom and gloom

But the face of pace..Rabada the ace

Became only the second name not from mighty blighty

To grace the hall of fame hordes on the

Home dressing room boards at Lords
