Cricket Poetry--West Indies and Bangladesh upset Eng, Aus

The week of upsets in test cricket

Test cricket is a wonderful game. The week gone by witnessed two big upsets-West Indies defeating England at Headingley and Bangladesh defeating Australia in their backyard. Here is a little rhyme to mark this famous week of test cricket!

At a time when the fans were few,

With every day- voice of criticism grew,

At a time when they were written off..

           Two teams in different parts of world,

           Decided - Enough heard!

           One in Dhaka, their backyard,

           Made the fancied visitors work hard,

           They matched them move by move,

           'Cause they had a point to prove.

           Shakib, their best, took ten in game,

           This team was no longer the same.

           They troubled Aussies with bat and ball,

           The world saw them the mighty fall.

           

           

           At an England ground distant in sight

           West Indies found within them a fight,

           The loss of Edgbaston was kept in mind,

           Shai Hope and Brathwaite did the grind,

           England fought back on Day Four,

          Setting up a big score,

          To do that on last inning,

          Will go down as another fable thing,

          Hope in Headingley gave Hope,

          As Eng couldnt hold on to the rope.

          The two wins in two continent,

           Will make a huge-much needed-dent

           In the world of test cricket ruled by few

           The legend of the game further grew
