Test Cricket

When you thought college was gonna be like rainbows and crazy parties and infinite fun,but you're shocked with what you saw.. you'll know what this means..

Little did I know

There was a test after the one-dayer

I needed my box

Helmets,pads ,emotional strength 

Gotta get them all out

'Cause I would play Test cricket 

Under the frying ,infernal,punishing sun

In a place tougher than Edgbaston for Australians

No non-striker mate,no not for me

Not for a bro fist,not for reviewing my shit

Crazy pitch,no strength in limbs

A New Balance bat,but can't hit anything

I am the first one in,the last one in,every place in between

Hey gal,ain't no one gonna bat for you !

The non-existent crowd screams!

Baby,no net practice is ever enough

For some games like these

Get hit in the head by Archer

On the toe by Boom

You can't walk out of this one

Not until you're done like Phil Hughes

But hey,the stands are not empty

Lucky me,no pandemic's gonna change this

It's not a Barmy Army

They're still singing,they just want some boundaries 

But help me Lord,I can't hear it

Still trying Maxwell's reverse sweep 

Which I know I can never hit

The bowler is ruthless,my nightmare

Pace,bounce,seam and swing

Wahab's yorkers and Rashid's spin

This psycho is giving me everything 

Freaking every ball's a jaffa

Ergo every over is a maiden

I am gutted and 

Heart broken like Kohli after history's saddest semi-final

My folks want me to play like New Zealand

But I am choking like South Africa

Some balls have hit me in the heart

You never saw me

But I cried in the dressing room,no one by my side

Now this shit,not new anymore

The sun can't be an excuse no more

This day is done and I am all alone

I am lost and my whole body's sore

I can't sleep and I am afraid to dream

But one of these days,I will come back okay

I will prove you wrong

First duck ,then hundreds like the new dude Labuschagne

Brace yourself,I'll be lit 

Just like my sweetheart Pat Cummins is.
