THE HISTORY AND MYSTERY OF WORLD CUP

England is the land of  the famous game, cricket

But she has never won the world cup

There seems to be slip between the lip and the cup

South Africa is a wonderful cricket team

In the world cup she has never realized her dream

West Indies has won it twice

Australia has proudly lifted it thrice

But she is out of the present race

India could with stand her fiery pace

India, Pakistan and Srilanka have won it each

NowThey are almost within the sight of its reach

Cricket seems no longer English man’s peach

The Asian colonial countries seem to have mastered

the western hegemony of English and cricket

They seem to dominate this crazy  language and sport

I enjoyed this very much. I didn't know anything about cricket until I read this. You did a great job of expressing your enthusiasm for it as well as the number of countries involved. :) Thanks for sharing :)

Praise to the ground staff who work hard to prepare a winning pitch for all players, good poem my friend.
