General Humour
Advert for Film of English Test Tour in Aussie
1998
Since this verse was written it has come to light that some international
cricketers have taken bribes. Although this individual has not
been one
of them it makes you think. Were/are we really that bad?
Mike Atherton stars in
these stirring tales
Of derring-do and bonding males
Of breathtaking feats in the burning sun
Trying to score more than just one run.
Follow the fortunes of the England side,
Losing to spin and pace with pride.
Live with the pain as stumps are splayed
And watch with wonder as they still get paid!
