It is eighty for six and it's ten to three
There are forty to score and it's time for me
They are bowling so fast I can hardly see
But I know we can win
Now it's ninety for seven it's looking tough
I don't know if Peter can score enough
And as for me have I got the right stuff
And I know we can win
One hundred and eight and now Peter's caught
What do I get from this bloody sport
Just concentrate and play like you ought
And you'll see we will win
Young David has smeared a ball for six
He's fourteen years old and he's up to tricks
They'll change the bowler to give him a fix
But maybe we can win
I've edged a two and we have to run
It is bloody hard work and I do this for fun!
The players who're out have already begun
To celebrate the win
Another big heave and young David's out
The visiting fans have begun to shout
And it's Mary in next, so I must doubt
That we will see a win
She's only twelve and scared of the ball
She's never scored a run at all
But there's one thing, she is not very tall
And that will help us win
He's big and bad and mean and fast
He's going to win with one great blast
He aims at her head it goes sailing past
FOUR WIDES WE'VE BLOODY WON!!!

Mary would be more use as a bowler at the moment. As I write this, McCullum has 61 and Flynn has 31.
Nice wee ditty.

Good bowling change Mairi, "Mary" Anderson will be credited with that wicket

A new ball, or a change of bowler, often shakes things up a bit.

My daughter is a useful medium pacer, she is however nearly five feet tall

Mairi the hero from Dundee
Playing for England
It's plain to see
She should get your Gold
For so brave was she
And in rear-guard, was bold!

I'm not twelve, and I have never backed away from a ball in my life!

Neither would you be in 9 down! This Mary lives in my road and plays cricket with her brothers. I have bowled to a young lady of approximately this age in a club match, I am very pleased to say she faced 3 balls without incident and my partner bowled their opening batsman at the other end.

Congrats on the win.
This was indeed a different piece but one i found entertaining. I was even rooting for the home team.
Best wishes.
Love you
