- Bill Brooke-Taylor:
- There's a deathly hush at Lord's tonight,
- The pitch lies covered in weeds,
- Willow and leather crack no more together,
- But that's what the country needs.
- We'll show them all with bat and ball,
- In spite of our lumbago,
- We're not caught out by Frog or Kraut,
- Nor greasy Wop nor Dago.
- If you're one who plays for five long days,
- Trying desperately to draw,
- If you stop each ball like a concrete wall,
- 'Till they let out a mighty snore,
- If you can run a gallant one
- Between 10 AM and tea,
- But above all, if you can bore 'em stiff,
- You're the pride of the MCC!

“Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say “I think,” “I am,” but quotes some saint or sage.”
