Ashes cricket is seen as the best,

Two teams alone put to the test.

This time in England next time in Oz;

They play for a small urn just because.

At times a great batsman comes to dominate,

So much so that his opponents co-operate;

To get around the defenses of such a broad bat,

So as to avoid crossing the path of this black cat.

Ball battles bat then bat battles back,

Some claim one player is just an old hack.

But Ashes cricket returns to remind spectators,

That style technique and a close match counters haters..

So put down your recently bought one day ticket,

Then admit to yourself anything else is Just Not Cricket.

Cricket tragic since 1970
