An Open Letter To The Cricket Board If It Still Exists Poem by nimal dunuhinga

An Open Letter To The Cricket Board If It Still Exists

Rating: 5.0


You must arrange a triangular cricket tournament
In between India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in lankan grounds
And must be fair umpires to be present to catch the shy bowler.

*Dedication to my poet friend Jerry Hughes

Nimal, it fascinates me that the countries you mention in this quirky little poem have adopted so passionately a game thrust upon them by those that colonized them. The line that stands out for me is 'shy bowler'. It seems such a witty contradiction in terms. Jerry will be delighted with your dedication. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
