It is back in my life once more,
That game I used to watch for days at a time,
Stolen from me so many years ago,
Taken to a channel I would not use,
Years and years of this void in my life,
Only seeing highlights,
But it is back.
I can watch its beauty,
I can watch its subtleties,
The wonder of the game,
The game that can last for five days,
That glorious game of cricket.
But to my mind it has changed,
The players are all so slim,
And the biggest change
That I see now,
So many years later,
Is that they are all SO YOUNG!
