Cricketing Nirvanas and Nadirs

“Heady heights..bright neon lights..giddy delights

Arsonists torching the Indian empire

Reputations scorching..awash with brilliant whites

Gilded generation ire… spoils soiled in an oily quagmire

Sailing the conquest crest..Kiwi veneration..scaling Test Everest

Perturbed…wondrous walloping to disturbed lolloping..absurdly dire

Otherworldly umami of the Barmy Army tsunami

Marauding sneers trumpet.. foolish career nadirs..retire

Ghoulish gravity..devoured by a glutinous abyss

Bazball belter depravity..sensationally soured bucolic bliss 

Hoodwinking..hasten Black caps helter skelter sinking

Downed & drowned in a bottomless basin..stinking 

Hilariously or nefariously bombastic 

Bellicose blows vicariously fantastic

Lambasted & larruped..willow wizards’ blizzards

Scary..leery…Kiwis dreary..wary..weary

Boisterously babbling record book pleasing Brook..

Febrile lairy timber & turnstile teasing fairy

Frazzled dreams bedazzled by pyrotechnic memes

Peacocking cavorting with shocking ripsnorter slaughter

Lampooned buffoons marooned…as Jaffas deliriously spill.. festooned just like Seville

Bazball booming batting baritones..delicious blooming blossom

Vicious..nailed..pernicious.. flailed like an impaled pesky possum

Stranded in a leaking latrine…Baz branded..reeking of what could have been

Outrageously courageous…ridiculously sublime at the same time

Flat track thuggery fortuitously free from spin skulduggery?

Cosy club snubs…mandarins’ selectorial sins?

It’s coming home..it’s coming..in Welly on the telly..what we have seen

Prodigal Bazball from South D has already well & truly been"
