India, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia...
James Faulkner, Corey Anderson, Jason Holder, Kane Williamson,
Ahmed Shehzad, Quinton de Kock, James Pattinson,
Mohammed Shami, Joe Root, Ben Stokes...
the names thrill me again and again dear
Bowling and fielding,
amazing, astonishing,
the enjoyment, recreation...
here I feel you dear,
Sachin Tendulkar, Rocky Ponting,
Rahul Dravid, Brian Lara...
Pakistan, Zimbabwe, England, Bangladesh,
West Indies, Sri Lanka...
your traces on the earth:
June, England,1975...
dear I recollect again,
openers, innings, catches,
cover-drive, straight drive, leg glance,
pull shot, cut shot, hook shot...
thrilling pictures fly around of me
when I sit in the solitude,
a sweet breeze now touches
the brain, heart, mind and soul.
