Indian Cricket Team

When the umpire puts the toss,

Dhoni is the boss.

When Gambhir hits a century,

Bret Lee goes for a knee injury.

When Sehwag hits the ball to the fence,

Ponting becomes tense.

When Taylor's run out is taken

To the third umpire's decision,

He loses his batting position.

When India is in need of a run,

Down goes the blazing sun.

When India gets the cup.

They raise it up.

fence:(here) boundary

blazing (adj): burning brightly
