The Lord’s Test in Song
by Devanshu Mehta
About 12 hours ago, I had the idea for writing a song for each Test match in the England v. India series. Kind of crazy, I know. But here is the first one.
The Lord’s Test, in song (lyrics below):
Sehwag needed surgery
but chose the Indian Premier League
Consequently Lord’s missed out
on Sehwagology
Alastair Cook failed to score
When Zak let out a great big roar
Cricketing gods took their revenge
When Zak fell in a heap
KP got out to left arm spin
I’m just kidding, no he didn’t
Praveen got a fiver and
then KP scored a double
India kept on losing wickets
Broad pitched up and got his chickens
Dravid was rock solid but the
Champions were in trouble
Second innings started well
For Ishant and his joyful hair
After lunch though, Prior grasped
the Match in England’s claws
Sachin had a nasty virus
Gambhir had his elbow smashed up
India had to bat four sessions
Escape with a draw
India kept on losing wickets
Same old story, same old chickens
England won since on the day
They were better at cricket.
One more thing, ‘fore I forget
A little thing called D R S
Must be mentioned in this song
for the English press.
I like the last stanza about the DRS and the English press. Like not using Ball tracking is end of the world.
