Poetic Verses
Cricket's World Cup
After a four year wait this world cup fever
Is now a feature in three countries in the continent of
Asia
On can feel the tension, as a collection teams with their stars
A competing fiercely for one of cricket's top honors.
Just take a look at the playing ground what a scene
With glossy pitches, and that outfield well manicured and plush green
The atmosphere is such, that there is expectancy and jubilation in the crowd
Who appreciates good cricket, but for their local support is quite loud.
Some of the player, on just can admire and with awe and wonder
Appreciate the class and mastery of that player named Tendulkar
They will also applaud Gayle's display of no nonsense
As his dispatched the ball with power and belligerence.
The contest limits each team to survive fifty overs
It is such the great pressure is placed on the bowlers
Who cannot even marginally stray for a good line
And the team get penalized if they bowled over the allotted time.
The skill and temperament of the batsman is such a joy to see
His technique shows , if he finds the gaps precisely and regularly
There is some improvising, and deft strokes and use of the feet
And some are very effective, when they used the reverse sweep.
There is that saying that the ball is round, this is sound
And victories are decided, on the day of play on the ground
This was proved on the day when England was beaten by Ireland
And to make matter worse, Bangladesh added salt to the wound.
But England in a tense game this was a sort of teaser
Held the nerve to deliver a beating to South Africa
If this was not tense, what about that cliffhanger that went by
It was the game in which they and India played to a tie.
This game can be strange and mysterious I will admit
The one of glorious uncertainties, they say if cricket
A team may appear powerful when one looks at the order
Make some mistakes and that will make it the loser.
On has to applaud those ones called the associate teams
They are playing well, one cans see how they eyes beam
Each time one can see improvement, they are getting better
Gone are those days, when they were considered a walk over.
We all know the abilities of teams like Australia and Sri Lanka
They seem to be masters of the game, for Thier era
But the way it looks there is no clear cut path to the finals
It is quite interesting now, we are in for some tussles.
