Instead of a Summer, We had Some Snow

There was no thought, that winter's wind, would blow
Amar’s wrenched fingers, were all warmed up and well aglow
Instead of summer, we had some snow

Johnny Maunders, elegant, with runs aflow
TRJ, pawing the ground, ready to let go
Instead of a summer, we had some snow

Says Toddy to the umpire, right arm over, I bowl real slow,
Umpire to Toddy, tell me another, Not Out! it wasn’t that low!
Instead of a summer, we had some snow

Smudge our skipper, checking his players, all in a row
Greenie to Smudge, I’m an Aussie - you should know
Instead of a summer, we had some snow

Rajan from the boundary, with a Herculean throw
Steady on dear chap, please avoid, an overthrow
Instead of a summer, we had some snow
