You must be English, or Australian, talking about cricket, is it a high scoring game? You say you scored six runs but still lost the game? Good luck in the contest.

    Test cricket can last five days, 2 innings per side. You can score 300-400 runs per side. Nowadays they're trying to make it more like baseball, popular with crowds but I'm not a fan of it, as much as I like baseball.

It sounds like you are real cricket fan here and my husband adored the game, he played in a team and he listened to all the matched in Australia on the radio throughout the night. Your poem is full of your sweet dream of playing cricket for your country here, I enjoyed this match, love Dolly x

Hi. I hope you are well.

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!

I had to look up what a bowler was because in the states we really don't play cricket. But I looked it up and I can see why you would dream to be one.

Do you want to be the be the best cricket player ever?

You probably dreamed about it as a child, but like a lot of dreams, especially to be sports players, it isn't feasible sometimes

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

    Thanks for your review. I was debating writing this as I wasn't sure how much of it American members would understand. Hope it made some sense to you.

Your poem beautifully captures the passion and drama of cricket! The enduring love for the game and your team that you show in the final lines was perfect. I think many can relate to that. Great job, your love comes through so well.

I never would have expected such a great poem could be about something like cricket. I know very little about cricket, I must admit, but I liked your poem and your rhymes. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
