Ashes Bazball Reality


Ripsnorting depravity cavity of sporting gravity

Severity of the brevity cheekily courting levity

Hilarity distorting polarity Tests aren’t a charity

Unpopularity resorting to double downed vulgarity

Clarity for sorting parity then humility not a rarity


Some austerity can feed & lead to prosperity

Precarity due to the complete lack of dexterity

Asperity at temerity & totality of Bazball brutality

Banality of celebrity vanity caused the disparity 


Mendacity that red ball is just all about audacity

In reality plans need adaptability or fans profanity

Rapacity of elan talismans fatality simply insanity

Big Ben chimes Bazball Zen

Big Ben chimes again
With Bazball zen
One of those men
From special stock
Shepherd of the flock
Hewn from strewn Volcanic rock

From New Zealand's Southern Isle
But only there for a wee while
Mighty flame haired flair laird 

Without doubt more about Blighty's North East
They forged this bellicose beast
Ripsnorting sporting cavorting squire  
Glutton & gourmand gorged feast

Test town crier
Puffed buffed chest
Inspire..burning
Proper copper topper
Churning fire..

Endless zest..desire
No dull lull
No bore draw
Simple...aspire
To score more!

It's not arcane
Stokes campaign & reign
Train like you're insane
Always entertain!

Remember us flounder 
In the gutter
Trounced...17 on the bounce 
Could we have found
Pound for pounder
Better all rounder

Nutter...go getter 
Sounder founder
Run rate record setter
Of the evolution
And revolution 
Of Test cricket

Toe to toe
Blow by blow
Heave ho
Give us a ticket

In the Baz ball or
Ben buzz grotto

Gung Ho motto

You will never know 
Till you give it a go!
