It's cricket Thursday ........................

And will those men of Headingley
Walk out upon the hallowed green?
And will the well gloved hand of Hodd
On Yorkshires cricket  pasture be seen?
And will  the weather remain fine,
Making  our efforts not in vain?
And will a victory  be  builded here
Along Kirkstall and  St Michaels Lane ?

Give  us a plethora of runs!
Give us the wickets we desire!
Give us more reason, to praise extolled!
Try not to take it to the wire!
We will not cease from run chase fights ,
Nor shall our  bat  sleep in our hand,
Till we have made the quarter finals
 A strong, united band.
