Cricket Limericks
Hi All
This is just an odd collection of limericks i'd written about cricket and cricketers, and posted at various fora. Will keep adding to them as and when i'm in de mood:-) Till then bear with me. Those who dont wish to suffer in silence may kindly post their comments here:-)
Abhijit Kale:
he scored runs by the tons, yet was dejected
coz his application to the team was rejected
so he offered a bribe
to the selector tribe
and for his troubles, was promptly ejected!
Mohinder Amarnath:
He was the finest player of the hook
He could play every shot in the book
The selectors didnt play ball
So he called them jokers all
And so they kept him out by hook or crook!
David Gower:
He made love on the field of play
In a most impossibly languid way
with sweet timing and grace
bat met ball in embrace
And left agile fielders with feet of clay
Sir Garry Sobers:
Fast bowler, slow bowler, fielder, brilliant batsman
hit a ton b4 lunch, then bowled em with his chinaman
Descended from heaven,
He was a one man 'eleven'
Who lit up every stadium, and the heart of every cricket fan
B S Bedi :
He floated like a butterfly, stung like a bee
He fooled em with a floater no batsman could see
Took wickets with a smile
coached and commented awhile
He's now bowling wrong 'uns for the media 'spin' factory
Sunny Gavaskar :
He was the original little master
And is now a popular broadcaster
he was the best
at the 5 day Test
But in the ODIs just couldnt bat faster.
Vinod Kambli :
While Sachin took the elevator, he climbed the hard stairs
Wasnt long before they were scoring Test 100s in pairs
But life in the fast lane
Proved to be his bane
He suffered from a swollen head, and was sent off for repairs.
