Neither the captain, nor the coach
Will the other’s duty encroach
Though they bat on the same wicket
All for the good of Indian cricket
Like two children Bob and Alice
Being taken to the principal’s office
Sternly told to bury the hatchet
All for the good of Indian cricket
Words they’ll have, thats for sure
But team’s image is oh-so-pure
Not a word they’ll say to the media picket
All for the good of Indian cricket
Inflaming reports, the board can leak
Get all reporters to take a peek
Anything to get the seat they covet
All for the good of Indian cricket
We’ll judge them now, they tell the mob
Based on how they do their job
Make them work and earn their credit
All for the good of Indian cricket
The talk today is all performance
Without a measure that makes any sense
But not without their favourite couplet
All for the good of Indian cricket
How in hell can anyone support
Such a blatant mockery of sport?
My blood does boil, my hands do fidget
Seeing this “good” of Indian cricket

Sack the team,
and sack the coach,
From other teams
our players we’ll poach.
The team shall play,
the domestic league,
Till they understand
the meaning of fatigue.
No more photos,
and no more ads,
Cricket is a sport,
not a passing fad!
Fire Ganguly for good.
And stop all endorsements by circketers.
haha..
Those are a useless twosome..
But ur poem.. priceless.. awesome…
yeah, i suck at poetry too, among other things..
Thou have been tagged!
Really witty..Great Stuff!
To see thou win,
You sponsor no more,
No fizz of cola,
No Bank of Baroda.
To see thou win,
You see no more,
No Dalmiya for all the furore,
To see thou win…BAN INDIAN CRICKET!
Are the cricket players monkeys to listen to the commands of the coach ? It is unfair , this command obey show. Cricketers are artists of the game. They always did their best . But, luck cannot be on their side always. There are so many imponderables even though cricketers have genius and lots of experience. All this Greg Chappel talk and show is unfair unkind. Sachin, Ganguly have done their job well enough for the spectators to remember them for ever. Continue or not continue as captains is a matter for the players themselves to consult among themselves . For those who want to show that the team is on a leash of the coach to perform , a sound advice must be given ” get off the back of the team “. This Coach business has gone too far. Coach does only coach . That done , it is only fair to leave the matter of captaincy and playing to the team. Coach is no God. That is all I have to say.
