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.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

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 ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
