Quite simply, I call this one '96
'96
The timid young face was so innocent and fair
Hiding behind flowing locks of ginger hair
22 years if he was a day
But boy that young man showed us he could play
He stood waiting to bowl, patiently at his mark
And on his run up the young man did embark
Irani stood there, shot already in mind
But a look back and no off stump he would find
Robinson got 2, and wanted another
But he hit hard at first slip, held by Fairbrother
Rollins walked out, fear in his eyes
And straight back next ball, no real surprise
Next over went Illot, having avoided the hat-trick
But his leg stopped a ball that was on for the centre stick
Cowan came in, and stayed for a while
But when his stumps were split he gave a wry smile
Last up to the crease was a man they called Such
But another clean bowled showed he didn’t amount to much
The ball had been swinging, and the bowling was clean
And the young man in question took 6/18
6 overs of peaches, and not one bad apple
Was bowled by the legend that is called Glen Chapple
