Once upon a time there lived the mighty Gordon 4’s
Who ventured to Asquith Oval for a worthy cause
Iqbal Ahmed lost the toss and ND’s sent us into bat
Gordon batsman waited and sat.
Kleem departed cheaplyWith runs craved so deeply
James Martin fell to a curse
His mum is apparently former Miss Universe
Crawford and Marvell departed quickly
And the scorecard looked rather sickly
Jono Wigham managed 26
Not enough to impress the chicks.
Chad Soper batted brilliantly for 74
What an excellent innings we all saw.
Iqbal Ahmed got 41 nine short of a half ton.
210 was a the total to defend
a miracle was required uymar was to send
He took 2/38The others would have to wait.
Chad Soper took 1/43
But that was all there would be
ND’S passed our score
That’s the news in grade four

ReplyDeleteNot batting for the team i see, being dismissed early is never a help.. coming from a bowlers opinion...
