Sonnet: On Indian Cricket

The One-Day Cricket is live telecast; 'Tis India versus another great team; The clime is good and pitch really fast; The Indian batsmen now face bowler's seam. The spectators hold placards and make noise; Most fellowmen are glued to T.V-sets; A 'sixer' makes all country-men rejoice; The Indian players were good at the 'nets'! Most unpredictable team are our boys; Their team-work's seen once in a way, by luck; Yet, players score a century with poise; Some famous players come home with a 'duck'. And still, they break records so very oft; Their cricket is an entertaining art. Dedicated to the Indian Cricket Players 30-9-2000 by Dr John Celes ********
