A good call

I got a call, I got a call
that the Poms gotta get 10 off 6 balls
I got a call, I got a call
10 off 6 balls, 10 off 6 balls
But that's not all
They're 9 down baby, 9 down baby
So I leave my guests high and dry
They look at me and collectively sigh
Oh, you're not leaving us high and dry

Before i can answer, I'm gone
It's a little strange, it's a little deranged
Trott is still batting
When I last saw
Trott was still batting
Botham gasped at some amazing timing
But I say, at 9 down, Trott still batting
That's amazing timing

2 of the 1st ball
2 of the 2nd ball
Surely they'll get
2 of the 3rd ball
2 of the 4th ball
and be thru on the 5th ball

I got a call, I got a call
The Poms gotta get, 6 off 4 balls
And what, who's that kid bowling
he bowls the slow ball baby
And Trott edges it
I got a call, I got a call
In 3 balls I saw the whole damn one day game
If you gotta friend
You too must call
Call, tell a friend to watch
Watch a game that B'desh gonna win
Thanks SP
You made a call, you made a call
A good call...

Take that Ricky Ponting

This hundred is for you, it comes from one Cameron White at your favourite position. That's also three one dayers won, what are you doing in England? You can't possibly lose four on the trot. Even Trott isn't playing. But then neither are you.

Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

You could take the easy option, and fly the hell out of here. And while you're at it, take that Michael Clarke too.

The world will be a happier place without captains like you.

Make White captain, he'll take care of your grey areas.

One day Trott will play.

England will have lost the one-day series by then. 7-0, barring rain or Ponting’s helping hand. Trott will be better off at Warwickshire with the freewheeling Sreesanth.

England can wait, soon Trott will be an accomplished test and county cricketer on the wrong side of 30. It’s only teams like South Africa, India and Sri Lanka who rush in test stars like Duminy, Dravid and Samarweera to play one day cricket.

When contacted the ECB claimed Trott was not interested in the IPL.
