AT THE CREASE

I stand at the crease
Hot and perspiring.
Comforted by a gentle breeze
Fifty four not out and no intention of retiring.

The pitch remains as bouncy as ever
With a lot of turn and bounce
That even the strongest heart it may deter
As close in fielders wait to pounce.

The going is tough
The bowling is tight
Balls like bullets hit the rough
Not over pitched but just right.

The bowler bowls a maiden
And the fielders applaud him
I stand determined like Hayden
Awaiting the next ball; to paste ’em.

I stand at the crease
Wondering about my strategy
Can I make a ton with ease?
And pray, God grants me the will and energy.
