Cricket Ladies now pull up their socks
From the Sub-Continent to the Spring Boks
But a question of mine,
Not of length nor of line,
I wonder, do they require a box?
Some say that I need to take a pill
But I've watched and the ladies have skill
They get many things right
And their bowling is tight
And of cricket I just can't get my fill.
For now England are right out on top
All Australians would like that to stop
If they get much better
My pants will get wetter
Being British, I'm scared we will flop.
But England, to India, must fly
Where the pitches will be ever so dry
Not won there before,
Not sure, did we draw?
Beware Goswami, for she is quite spry.
Holly Colvin the new queen of spin
She does not know quite how to give in
The Taylors are great
The fielding, first rate
Come on girls, you know you can win!

I like all cricket, anywhere. Played by everyone. Well, pretty much. I certainly like women's matches. I have two daughters and I can dream ... one day they will play for England (or Scotland)!
