World's number one and two in batting's Who's Who
Yorkshire’s blessed treasure chest best take their Test berth as they surf the crest out on the hallowed turf The self anointed..God’s own country..didn’t rest..hasn’t disappointed..simple ploy Plucky…lucky to be an envoy that still has the joy..zest of a boy The honed treacle toned timbre of their timber toy Well when you’ve researched the top of the queue in...

Only fair it ended all square
Even sagacious tribes of loquacious scribes fail to describe the goodness gracious..bodacious..outrageous..tenacious..courageous vibes from both sides Flush with the lush lexicon repository in the plush oratory laboratory hard not to plump for a heavenly hush…then a rush of hagiography gush..for the artistry and mastery..rhapsody..epiphany..melody and symphony of this sumptuous..rambunctious unctuous Test tapestry Primal tribal rivals…Benball versus...

Siraj in charge of the new Raj
Dash of panache …blade cascades on the lash..rocking …fans cavalcade flocking to be clocking some shocking..peacocking....with a hefty splash of flash fancy dan elan No mocking.. knocking or blocking my pick as the talisman taking charge, unctuous rambunctious argy bargy barrage of Siraj Spick and span does give a damn masterplan..an if anyone can I can…wiry fiery...

Pantomonium
Whispers spoken…fears awoken…we all say ..there is no way whatsoever that he can play on the 2nd day..his foot’s broken.. But whatever…this is the.. oh so clever if a tad crazy .. nothing will phase me..masterplan from a remarkable cricketer…a remarkable man.. Will have a stab at it…just goes to the fab Rishabh lab and can simply...

The Draw breaks Bazball Law
According to Bazball law, deplore the days of yore, hell bent..ignore what went before Why even mull over a tie..cull every dull lull…do or die super nova…run rates soar…can chase whatever they score, make sure there’s no more bore draw But hard not to adore or at least admire…the entire five day feast and the Ben beast...

Herculean hero
Our towering talisman…glowering totem…manic volcanic Viking King.. The flowering genesis of a powering nemesis… Herculean but Sisyphean struggles showering.. The penury of injury…intrigue of fatigue…cavorting With the clarity and lack of charity Of ripsnorting depravity and disparity of sporting gravity.. Another unfair body scare on the square or Stokes lair…for our oh so rare.. devil may care…flair compere with his...

No Ego Joe Show
On every outing…no touting or fostering of pouty louty shouty postering… No flouting of the definition of classical ebb and flow rendition… Yet boundaries scouting…Rooty sedition routing the opposition… Echo the past…poetic…the ship’s mast and fillip for the cast.. Prophetic.. to and fro athletic ascetic aesthetic …traditions bestow and glow… No 20/20 generic…why old school is still and always will...

Wimbledon the menace of celebrity tennis
Mr Dennis...grimace..what the Dickens is going on...the menace Inevitability of a celebrity on every terrace at the tennis.. The profanity and insanity of rampant vanity.. The gist..a D list tryst to bathe in the narcissist mist.. Blame.. tame or maim same lame fame name game shame.. Rich pickings at.. every look at me.. Wimbledon balcony.. Phew..is it...

Of course Fairy Tales can come true Daws
Have I done something wrong..8 long years..regretted being forsaken not feted..more pong than gong it appears Charismatic Selectors mistaken..phlegmatic..enigmatic or erratic Dramatic not pragmatic nor didactic tactic Despite the fans throng that he does belong After an en song bounty..one of the best county careers Applaud PCA top award for 2024..for the way you play..stack of wickets taken and runs...

Call it Bazball or just Test Cricket
We knew from the get go after Brendon accepted the call…jettisoned old school for new cool..the Kiwi on the balcony who looks like he’s smoked some bud..having a kip..let slip..quick to quip..almost let rip..did appall..won't linger..two finger flip..nip it in the bud..say no go…skip..snip..crud dud pick…so toodlepip..tally ho to the thick not slick Bazball blip..this...

The Fans view Bless you Jaddu
In Test cricket…we talk quite a bit about the assumption to be a hit…need gumption and grit…another platitude about the right attitude at any latitude…selectors gratitude for vigour..rigour..fortitude..with a cheeky sneaky touch of turpitude. Not just a presumption…we all knew with no Chiku…Jaddu..heroic and stoic..maybe squarely unfairly unsung…would shepherd the young guns…the Indian ace in the...
