Captain Cook's Tigers

The Tigers were sent in to bat,

Could England make the most of that?

    Tamim was put down,

    Sidebottom did frown,

Then he bowled much too short, the pratt.

 

One hundred did Tamim then make,

When needed, he applied the brake,

    But the rest of his side,

    Though I'm sure that they tried,

Come on guys, stay in for Pete's sake!

 

When batting, my England weren't great,

The Tigers gave the match on a plate.

    The catches they muffed them,

    And the keeper he stuffed them.

Shape up Tigers, before it's loo late!

Notes

Captain Cook leads England to a deceptively comfortable ODI victory.

So many fielding mistakes were made by the Tigers, that added to the huge drop by Morgan when Tamim was on 10, the whole game could have been completely different.
