Poem by Martin Sexton (OL 1958): Lords Test Match July 2025 -- England v India

LORDS TEST MATCH JULY 2025 ENGLAND v INDIA

Last pair at the wicket
So tense, one can’t pick it
After five days of critical contest
Testing the skill of the very best
Which way will it go
Be the game fast or slow
Down to the wire as the teams aspire
To induce the win with speed and spin

REALLY , the result should matter not
If honour is carried and keeps the plot

Sportsmanship,chivalry, must prevail, regardless of fame
At the end of it all, it is just a game

The test is greater than the man
Designed to add zest to all fan’s lifelong plan

Then again as a devotee
These edicts apply for all to see 
In every manor of the game played
For the SPIRIT to be maintained and above all displayed
