Spectator's Fatigue
The anxiety that we feel during a cricket match can be almost as bad as being out there playing. I say almost because at least we as spectators don’t get photographed and featured at our worse.
We don’t have to walk shamefully through our airports. I get very worked up and according to the health specialist, this is bad, so I’ll follow their good advice and watch 24, maybe I’ll be safer in Jack’s hands.
All day I sat at home watching
TV8 where world Cup was playing
Hesitant to leave, expectant to see
Our Boys finally beating somebody
My head hung in shame at every ball
Every catch, stump, at every wicket to fall
The team as usual fell apart
Over after over from the very start
Dropping catches and misfielding shamelessly
And never seem cognizant of you and me
You like I probably face the bowlers too
Anticipating spin and the line driving through
Getting the nerves when we run down the wicket
Anxious when the third umpire examines the replay flick
I think tomorrow I wouldn’t watch team West Indies
Not giving up, I rather the suspense from the movies.
