The Goldies vs The Boldies

A brief gap of Poems from me!

Now back with a hot topic! Guess what?! It is Cricket Carnival guys! The whole nation is going crazy about IPL and stuff! So just thought of entertaining you guys with something funny through a commentary-poem! ;)

The story line is that I have brought the veteran cricketers back to the field including a few from the "Posthumous Bungalow" who will be playing a T20 fixture against the current aggressive beasts! What's more?! It's being played at Chepauk MAC Stadium! [a bit of a possessive concern there! :p] I'm not revealing the line ups! Go ahead!

Welcome to this rare cricketing fixture,

Containing some incredible talent mixture;

Here we are at the MACS,

Anticipating extraordinary power packs

As Harsha Bhogle walks up to the pitch,

The floodlights seem to have some glitch.

Following the rectifications takes place the toss.

The Goldies bowl first as a result of the loss.

Murali Vijay opens the Boldies’ countenance,

Alongside Virender Sehwag, who is known for his malignance.

Vijay works out a classical cover drive,

As Hadlee attempts for a late dive;

Viru begins his fireworks aggressively,

But returns back with a brisk 30 disappointingly.

The Chennai crowd roars for the captain Master Blaster,

Expecting him to pile runs faster.

A Sachin frenzied fan enters the ground,

Forcing a stringent wall of security surround;

It’s yet another show from the Boldies

As Sachin travels past the fifties.

Meanwhile, ignorant Bradman posts a silly, yet, sweet quest,

“Why is the ball painted white?” looking inquisitively at the rest,

Teammate Gavaskar laughs out loud saying that it was the rule,

The Don stared at him guessing he must be a fool.

Sachin then goes after spin-wiz Shane Warne,

Eventually walks back after the bails were gone.

The girls all around cheered,

As the local heart throb Raina geared.

The short man whacks every bowler for a Sixer

Just as when Jonty (Rhodes) holds onto a blinder by the Cover.

While Vijay proceeded with his brand of conventions,

Pollard pursued a few of his innovations.

Lillee oversteps, causing a “No Ball”

Which meant it was a “Free Hit” call!

Bradman inquires, “What’s a free hit?” with an innocent smile,

Lillee replies, “Dude, will you shut your gob for a while?!”

All of a sudden vanished ‘playboy’ Rhodes,

Who was then found dancing with a hot English Rose.

The last ball was flicked in style for a Four,

Leaving behind 199 as the final score!
