No Invite

Foresight, cynicism, a lack of commitment:

Call it what you will,

The gut instinct is not to be underestimated.

I let it happen,

I really do.

But I don't mind the absence,

I free-load,

I know it.

I could be there,

But I know I don't do enough -

I don't care enough.

You were right not to bother again this time.

If you don't back your eye, they will get you cheaply.

Soon, you'll be sitting under that tree again.

If you let it through your legs,

Be prepared to patrol the fence.

If you're a leggie,

Be content with not getting a bowl early on in the short form of the game -

Even if you might bowl better, concede less runs or be more likely to take a wicket.

You can't expect more than you put in

And even when you do, there's always
"Horses for courses".

Cricket is Capitalism.

Capitalism is life.
