Subject: RE: Songs about the game of Cricket?
There is a poem by Thomas E Spencer called "How Macdougal Topped the Score" which is a popular recitation over here.

Ted Egan has written a couple, I think - "The Tiger and the Don" springs most readily to mind. That one might not be too popular in England with a chorus that goes:

Feast your eyes upon the Tiger and the Don
The Don's the greatest bat of all, and when the Tiger gets the ball
He puts the fear of God into every Englishman.

- about Don Bradman (obviously) and Bill O'Reilly.
