It is a ball rapped in pink leather, the stitches on the ball make it what it is,
the pink gleaming in the warm sun, you run in on the pitch the ball firmly in your hand,
and you let it rip it out of your hands,
wood on leather the sound every bowler loves,
the moment when the ball goes straight into the stumps,
bails flying through the air landing 5 metres away as the batsman walks off.
The cricket ball lying in the ground you.
Pick it it up one more time to feel the leather and suddenly your walking off the field the game is
over ................cricket ball.
