Take guard! Man the barricades! Patrol the cover boundary! At last the time is come. This is a cricketing emergency. Hear this call to arms For every cricket revolutionary. Take up your bats and stumps For the Test Match Insurgency. At first they tried to silence us, But we would not be silenced They threatened us with lies, So we threatened them with violence Che Guevara, Sangakkara Joseph Stalin, Douglas Jardine Robespierre, Darrell Hair Vladimir Lenin, O’Brien Kevin Guerilla Cricket It’s not about the winning, It’s about how many rules you break Even in cricket commentary This is the best advice to take Pick Guerilla Cricket - It’s the finest choice you’ll ever make There’s so much more to cricket than Rev counters and a slice of cake At first they tried to sanitise us And clean up our act But people like it filthy, And we know that for a fact. Fidel Castro, Lennie Pascoe Carlos the Jackal, Umar Akmal Mahatma Gandhi, Grant and Andy Brendan Behan, Austin Ian Guerilla Cricket Stick with us, cos you know We’re not the kind of thing that you see on The TV and the radio So Vive La Revolution At first they tried to buy us But we would not be bought OK, we were, but then we ran away, And we will not be caught. We would not give up the ghost When they left us all for dead They decapitated us, But we just grew another head Chairman Mao, Jamie How Ho Chi Minh, Asif Din Vaclav Havel, Graham Saville No Surrender, Percy Fender Guerilla Cricket

Well done boys, brilliant stuff That was their last recognised batsman We’ve definitely now done enough Cos that was their last recognised batsman We’ve got one or two more to get To give the whole thing some finality But the result is now as good as set It’s nothing more than a formality. Our opponents now are on their last legs The batters are all out now we’re on to the dregs Prepare for abject surrender From every single tailender. Well, boys, we’ve played brilliantly We’ve done just what we set out to do Now just watch I guarantee They’ll be gone in an over or two. OK, fifteen overs have passed This game’s trickier than it appears These tail-enders are scoring quite fast And my leggie’s just burst into tears But it’s not a total disaster It’s not like we’re on the Titanic. We just need to bowl a bit faster Field well and, mainly, not panic But this team’s in quite creative hands It’s time for one of my more imaginative plans Put a third leg slip in play And get point to face the wrong way It’s not what every captain would do But I’ll get him eventually And if it’s not worked in an hour or two Then I’ll come up with Plan B. Well this is ridiculous now It is getting beyond a joke Every over they’re taking a bow Cos a different world record got broke Now he’s laughing cos he’s got his hundred I was told he’s an absolute bunny It’s bad enough when your bowlers get plundered But must the batting side find it so funny? I think of things I wish I was doing instead Like dental work or being dead This partnership’s awful duration Is more like a hostage situation The despair that this moment inspires! It’s been two hours since the last wicket I so hate the batsmen, and the umpires But most of all - God, I hate cricket.
