Cricket

174 for 7, the cheer goes up
a wicket falls, impending defeat
make mine a pint
lets celebrate
last week they were useless I'm told
today the hero
tomorrow the zero
it's a bloody game for christ sake
look at the news
people being killed
children without hope
terrorist killing
leaders unwilling
hands tied by threats
England look like winning
it's not cricket old chap
it's just not cricket

Very well put. In Australia we tend to concentrate too much on sport as well. Although I do like to see us winning the ashes :)
