and bide away precious time,

My dog can’t round-up and herd,
like the competent collie
as he thinks chasing sheep,
is the height of pure folly
My dog can’t bark aloud
like the german shepherd
he’s more of...

The Catch !
A 'senior' bachelor bowler at our cricket club failed to see the error of his ways often bemoaning why he was going wicketless for around 15 per over per game? I suggested he get himself down to Monday evening net practice for once in his life and sort out his line & length...

Formula 1 Cricket

that can be likened to a racing car.
Each component must gel and glean,
on field be ruthless, mean,
as a well tuned engine will propel it, fast and far.
The captain sits behind the wheel
knows which buttons to press, pedals...
