Victory verse

By Kersi Meher-Homji
Englishmen were beaten at Lord’s
By the batting and bowling of Bumrah
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.
It was a day after India’s Swaraj
And it was all Mohammed Siraj.
It all started with openers Rohit and Rahul
Who sent the Englishmen to “Kabul”
With help from all-rounders Shami and Bumrah,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.
Behind and in front of wickets shone Pant
As bouncers were bowled by Sharma Ishant
There are many jewels; diamond, pearl and jade
But my choice will always be jade with an added ja
For the swashbuckling Jadeja.
Critics thought it was the end for Pujara and Rahane
But they scored precious runs at Lord’s, didn’t they?
Stealing runs from James Anderson
And his bowling partner Ollie Robinson.
England’s skipper Root hit a majestic ton
But Sam Curran bagged a king pair.
Virat’s heroes won at Lord’s
Will they enhance their lead
Next week at Headingly, Leeds?
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah.
