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...

Jofradamus can see the future
Oi Oi ..saveloy…caps do doff..bless Joffy boy…with injury woes and blows… From the off some did scoff…Joff can no longer bowl for toffee…clearly not really… Not being coy but some of those press hoi polloi said Ben had chose.. A risky ploy against our Indian foes…but seeing him let rip For the fans unbridled joy..a trip to our...

Come forth our Angel of the North Stokesy
Come forth our Angel of the North Working class…but VIP pass…standing sentry for cricketing gentry Towering injury tarnished Talisman penury Revarnished..primacy rebooted for his mooted destiny and legacy Poetry in motion..the emotion The devotion..our commotion potion Rejuvenation India rue what Stokes does imbue Hadn’t got a clue what to do Trepidation…procrastination..then damnation Stewed…then skewed..eschewed..slewed and screwed by the Hullabaloo dude..voodoo feud…hoodoo mood and rude juju...

If Life Were A Game Of Chess
If life were a game of chess, I would not be holding the chess pieces. I wish to become a chessboard, So I could see the wonders of life and be free Or I may in another way I can explain A plain tea that reflects the story of life, The chess pieces will show your past life How...

Not being silly is Jamie Smith the new Gilly
5 down..for just 84..what do you do.. try and survive..shut the door..or instead more hardcore jive...out on the lash ..go to town.. On his way to 184..borrowed the crown from the real deal surreal cartwheel Panto clown..smash down the door.. Red hot..bespoke with the oak..smoking..old school Ben Stoking..first ball stroking for four.. Robin Hoods with the wood..forget...

Southee serenade
Foppish fringe flutters..pianist tendrils tinkling.. Flitter finessing leathery fruits.. Caressing..stitched dreams tickled & tailored.. Swing..swerve in clandestine cahoots… Curve…voluptuous velvety verve.. Wobble seam serendipity tempts..teases.. Sliding across creases..angle architect gliding.. Heaven sent tyro riding blazing trails.. Hellbent brio…Waggers & Trent..Timmy trio.. Touted trinity…selector trifecta..febrile fan affinity.. Tim’s timber hoicks topple Toblerones.. Schadenfreude stats sips.. Oiks suggest Timmy.. Ersatz Test imitator of Jimmy… Naysayers…tut tutters spew from trolling...

Dope boundary rope tropes…fans hopes..Ollie copes..thick skin…will find the strength within…ignores the din…as Pope unleashes that boyish grin.. Can hear Freddie and David…ddddd..Under Pressure…well..hard to measure the pleasure of the Pope’s treasure…papacy legacy pride..stops the slide..trumps the prodigy..got a ton to shun outgun..dumps the Bethell puns..rested and bested..still in at stumps.. after Stokes plumps for tried...

Bazball or Bazbat goes soft and flat
Alright have to admit that whole drole Bazball or Baz Bat cool cat vibe…rabbit out of hat tribe.. is taking its toll..sunk in a hole..losing it’s goal and soul..not being a vitriol troll..maybe need to mull over a cull of this rigmarole.. Can’t pretend..is the end of this spangly jangly new fangled trend…nothing off the shelf…just...

Jofra vs Burmrah the crown jewel duel
Is there any other sort of sport.. that can hold a candle to having to handle Getting caught in the ripsnort onslaught scandal…as speedsters hold court Fraught as they face a serious deleterious imperious express pace ace At their sleek peak..unique freaks..bombastic..iconoclastic mercenaries Havoc to wreak on adversaries.. and their own physique.. So as we’ve read..will the King of swing..zing...

Tale of Two Cities and Two Captains
Well what the Dickens is going on? My choice as the greatest scribe and voice of our tribe Charles not himself a cricketing man but definitely a fan Twas…the tale of two skippers and two cities Both burdened by the weight of Great Expectations from both nations Cometh the hour cometh the Shubman Cooing classical looks…wooing crannies and nooks Eschewed the media...
