A chat on a strat based on Vat

The Aussies are back to defend their prize
With more young legs, but a little less wise.
The great McGrath, Gilly & Warne are out;
But look who they've hired to stop a rout.
Not Murali, not Mendis as one would think
But a selection inspired by many a drink.
His first name is Greg, and Chappel the last
And that's where he left us in the recent past.
Now I'm hoping like hell (have my fingers crossed),
That Greg will do it again, at Ricky Ponting's cost.

Meet Pete

A dashing young batsman was Kevin Pete,
Who South African standards didn't meet,
So he packed his gear and
Flew to his mother's land
And now the Proteas at his hands are being beat.

Out of the blue

This young Jamaican was trying very hard to be a fast bowler. Till a friend pointed out, that his run-up was quicker than his delivery.
So if not a record breaking sprinter, Usain Bolt might have been doing cricket in the Caribbean a few favours.
