In the interests of brevity and variety, Ged Ladd has decided to write up today's play in the form of ten haiku poems. This is a bit of a first for MTWD, so let us know what you think.
If you're not entirely sure what a Haiku is, click on the word Haiku and find out.
Haiku One - The Night Before
Though Simpson turns up,
At charity curry night,
Next morning, no runs.
Haiku Two - Getting There
Piccadilly Line,
Inevitable delays,
Old folk rush to ground.
Haiku Three - Hoiku
Malan and Morgan,
Show dreamy summer batting,
Till both bowled hoiking.
Haiku Four - Saving Face
Batsmen six to ten,
Summon up a hundred more,
A hundred behind.
Haiku Five - Outside Broadcasts Again
Iain O'Brien,
Runs in like a spring chicken,
Pulls up, hammy crocked.
Haiku Six - Sad At Tea
Daisy's on her way,
"Thirty six for no wicket",
"Does not sound too good".
Haiku Seven - In The Wickets
Finn and Rowland-Jones
Strike four times in ten overs,
Joyce and Prior displeased.
Haiku Eight - Sussex Fret
"We've been robbed", they claim,
"If so, report the umpires",
"No, call the police".
Haiku Nine - Hatchett Job
Murray Goodwin Falls,
Only a few balls to go,
Hatchett, night watchman.
Haiku Ten - Summary
Lovely day to watch,
Splendid wicket for cricket,
Uxbridge came up stumps.
