A poem on Cricket - Ruskin Bond

Am reading a lot of Ruskin Bond these days. Found this poem that I really liked :)


Cricket will never be fair
Till bowlers get their rightful share
For toiling in the midday sun
What should be done
Its simple ..
Make those wickets broader and taller !!
That should make it much more fun
For the poor perspiring bowler.

PS:In the interest of the game
the size of the bat will remain the same

Isn't it enough that people waste so much time watching and playing cricket? It is required to poetry about it too?!

Very funny poem and I quite agree with Bond. I love cricket which is entirely unnecessary as a comment to this blog except because of your first two comments :)
