A Stump Perspective....

There are often unending arguments between people who swear by T20 cricket, and those who think cricket means Test Match Cricket. This is a Stump Perspective....




Between
fighting
about whether
cricket should be
like a willful wild and wayward child
or
a pillar of propriety,
a certain bat
defensively nudged
a certain ball
which rolled away
to the onside,
muttering,
"I wish i was the stumps...
It would be so wonderful
to sit back and watch;
we are the ones
who get so hurt
in both forms of the game....."

And the bails
thought it was so funny,
they fell off,
laughing....

    its like Jo dhun saaz se nikli woh sab ne suni, jo saaz pe guzri woh kissi ne nahin suni...

    no one thinks about the stumps .. glad you did :) and they get hurt the most.. even when the match finishes the winning team uproots them away...
