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...



New on Bored: Player Profiles

Come back home, all is forgiven.

To One Day International Cricket

It was a case of mistaken identity. The problem wasn’t with you, ODI. The problem was with English cricket.

Whenever they played you, ODI, they played us. England are the only team, nay side, which will lose one day at a time yet win when five days are strung together. What does that do, if not make you predictable, ODI?

And then the mighty Bangladeshis wreaked havoc on the feeble West Indies – never before had the domination of Asian cricket been so pronounced. See what they did to your good name, ODI?

Let it not be forgotten, you were the first to be World Cup-ed, ODI. If not for you, India would never have loved cricket. If not for you, sky would fall, rain would gather too…if not for you, Bob Dylan would not have written that.

If not for you, India and its boys would never have known the colour of money. It’s blue.

If not for you, India would never have won the Compaq Cup. A trophy even uglier than the IPL.
