THE RETURN OF THE WORLD CUP: MY DREAM

MS Dhoni allots the fielders,

It’s the last over.

Australia, the leaders,

Need 6 runs of the last over.

Dhoni is still nervous,

To whom shall he give the ball?

Harbhajan and Zaheer are injured,

And Ashwin is not bowling well at all.

 

There comes the man,

In the form of Tendulkar,

Asks Dhoni for the ball,

Says,” I will bowl them all”

 

So the ball is given to Tendulkar,

Oh ! how he spun the ball!,

The first ball, Hussey is out!

Australia is 6 wickets down.

 

Next comes Clarke,

He is the man in form,

All come and discuss here,

How to get him out?

The second ball is defended,

And the third goes for a 4.

Australia need 2 runs to win,

The crowd is silent, and sounds as if a shore.

 

The next ball Clarke misses,

“Just missed!”, Dhoni announced,

“The next ball he’s out!”

He shouts.

 

The next ball Clarke vies for a single,

As the ball races towards the Long off.

But Raina at midwicket,

Won’t let the ball go.

 

Last ball and 2 runs needed,

Australia were in a lure,

They had to go for it,

Or they would lose for sure.

 

Tendulkar spun the ball sharply,

From the end of the wicket to,

The middle stump.

But Clarke flicked it away,

Oh! yes, he shouted as he went,

For to the other end.

But beautiful fielding, by Kohli,

And what a throw!

 

Clarke is RUN OUT!

He had fallen for the lure,

All Indians celebrate,

As they win their 2^nd World Cup, for sure!!
