I don't LIKE cricket....I LOVE it.

This is what they are playing for, the Women's World Cup Cricket Trophy. Lovely and shiny isn't it? It could be England's or India's as we are now ready for final day this coming Sunday the 23rd July.

I sound excited don't I? Well I am! Since I went to my first women's cricket game with Rock Choir a while back which was between Sri Lanka and The West Indies, I have now grown quite fond of the game. I was one of those people who was not interested at all, found it boring and couldn't see the point but talk about a born again cricket fan. I'm addicted and plan to go to more games too. 

Today was the second semi final between Australia and India played at Derbyshire County Cricket Ground and what a match. I have to say a big well done to the grounds team for getting the pitch 'match ready' as there was so much rainfall before, it really did look like it would never go ahead. I thank Rock Choir for giving me a new hobby and interest and here is my verse today about the cricket, enjoy...........

The Cricket

Today I went watchin' the cricket
plenty of runs and a dodgy wicket
The battle of mainly yellow and blue
a place in the final along with England to go through
All to be champions of the world

The weather it started with rain 
looked a non starter and so much to gain
In the afternoon it got started
India to go first, their batting to be charted
All to be champions of the world

A brilliant batswoman was Kaur
sixes and many a four
She delighted all of Derby and the rest of the world
a hero in India was suddenly unfurled
All to be champions of the world

Australia you played it so well
feel proud you were able to excel
A delight to be watchin'
many points you were notchin'
All to be champions of the world

So to the final on Sunday we go
the trophy is all of a glow
Two nations so proud
a pat on the back should be allowed

Go forth and be champions of the world!!!
