75 Is Not A Bad Score

For a bowler 75 is not a bad score,
I don't know how many runs are more,
But I am still on the crease,
Though tired but nothing I cease,
Still my square cuts are a beauty to watch,
Cover drives and extra cover drives win the match,
Bowler's back hand drive four or six but often caught,
Back to pavilion mostly in eighties thinking gallantly I fought,
A little weak on the leg sides mostly depend on the leg glance,
A singleton is definite but a double ton ends in a chance,
My real weakness, I can run once not twice or thrice,
Blocked arteries, blocked gall bladder, but I am fine and nice,
Yes I am nice because I am a fighter on the pitch,
Can bring back the victory thrown by top order in a ditch
A useful batsman coming at number eight,
Often I think my captain has sent me too late,
I know I can never score a magical century,
Happy, I can still hit the ball for a boundary.
Often declared as player of the match,
The ball appears to me a gal, happily I catch.
