Ashes to Ashes

Day one and Australia have it all to do!

The true romance

of cricket.

A captain's innings

at the wicket

as he digs in

and scores a tun,

blood and guts

for every run.

 

A bowler's arm

swings through

an arc, ball

clipping bat.

Excited cries

go up

'how's 'at!'

But the umpire's

having none

and the batsman

goes on

to score

another run.

 

Back and forth

he dashes

as England attempt

to regain

the ashes!

It's nip and tuck at present as Root is out! Being Scots I am not really an England supporter lol! Cheers Jacob.

I'm not usually a cricket lover unless it produces the excitement like that in the final stages of the recent world Cup. That has to rank as the most exciting, heart beating viewing ever. Still I wish England the best. Free flowing and fine free verse. A bit of alliteration thrown into the field for added measure.

I am no cricket lover either Chris but like you the excitement of the moment gets to me. Me I LOVE rugby union and played it for a few years despite my size! Many thanks.
