Great bowlers hunt in pairs,
Larwood and Voce of England,
Lindwall and Miller of Australia,
Nissar and Amarsingh of India.
India is the land of spin,
Of Prasanna & Bedi, Chandra & Venkat
Her pitches favor spin,
And is the graveyard of many greats !
What if Amar Singh and Nissar,
Combine with Prasanna, Bedi & Chandra ?
Such is the present potent Indian attack,
Called by many as the Awesome Fivesome @ !
They are the masters of the moving ball,
Swing or spin, off cutters & leg cutters !
Facing them under lights is dreaded,
By even the world’s greatest !
No batsman had ever mastered the ball moving,
Wasn’t Bradman bowled by Hollis for a duck?
Even Gavaskar and Tendulkar had gone for blobs,
In this game of glorious vicissitudes !
It is nice to see Indian bowling on fire,
Previously it was the turn of Indian Batting ,
Propelled by centuries galore,
Of Rohit, Virat & Sachin !
