Twinkle twinkle cricket scam!

I love cricket. A poem in woe of what has happened to our beloved game after the corruption and betting racket. Composed to the tune of "Twinkle twinkle little star!

Twinkle, twinkle cricket scam
Now I wonder where I am.

Was that ball really wide?
Did it rightly stray leg side?

Was that catch really dropped?
From the keeper's gloves it popped.

Twinkle, twinkle cricket scam.
Now I wonder where I am.

God's good grace, this I ween
"Jonner's," Frindle, spared this scene.

Test Match Special super show,
'Betting Scandal!' Now feels low.

Aggers, Blowers dear Rameez
Feel betrayed, just like me!

No ball here!  No ball there!
Accident?  "No!"  We sneer.

Test Match Special super show
Betting scandal!  Now feels low.

Can our game be as its been?
Hooray! The Ashes, ever clean!.

Brilliant poem put together to a simple rhythm but within a very strong moral message of the hurt and anguish caused by the few selfish/greedy individuals who spoil the great game for the rest of us !

Well played Ron ' a lovely little gem of an innings you made with this one !

'It's not cricket' is the cry
When other people cheat and lie
Nice one Ron. We are all with you and wondering if the game will ever be the same again and you have captured our disappointment perfectly in your own inimitable style. Love it

I love cricket too, you expressed not just yours but also the feelings of millions of cricket lovers who felt: betrayed, disappointed and rejected on that unveiling day.
Bravo...
