Cricket

Scorching sunshine, grass crunching underfoot
Bat hits ball, the crowd goes wild
This is the joy of cricket

Massive stands tower over the white picket fence
The best players in the world come head to head
This is the joy of cricket

The umpire's finger goes up in the air
The batsman slowly walks, Head low, feet dragging.
This is the joy of cricket

Mateship, teamwork
Skill, collaboration
This is the joy of cricket
