103- A Love Story

[Ace Base]

This is the tale of the man they call The Beast
Lahore 2006, upon Indian cuisine he doth feast.

Every single run fuels his fury
For this is a man who lives for the gory

Unabated, unabashed, he revels in demolition
Mayhem his bat, violence his ambition

One six, two six, three six, four
Ask Bhajji if he still wants more

Wild like fire, raging like a bull
Hook, cut, drive and pull

What tornado has hit us, the Indians scream?
What blitz is this, is this a bad dream?

Is this a tempest in the guise of man?
Is this a tsunami, or a hurricane?

The Afridi is merciless, dark and brutal
When he's on strike, six fours is frugal

Duck, Bombay duck, you've been torpedoed
India at Lahore have been Afridi-oed

Thank God, Dravid, you've been let off free
For The Beast only got a hundred and three

But he paces his dungeon, awaiting more glory
So I can recommence this violent Love Story

[Mercenary]

absolutely brilliant!! :D

[Daoud]

:))
What a "Jam" of a 'love story'

One six, two six, three six, four
Ask Bhajji if he still wants more
:))
That was probably my favourite line

[HAFRIDI]

Dm and Raz are gona love this lol

[Ace Base]

Now I'll do one in Arabic and send it off to the local newspapers here.

The Arab world must wake up to the phenomenon known as The Afridi.

[coolgangsta]

well the christians have been warning people about the beast for centuaries! Hell its in the book of revelations. They say the sign of the beast is 666..........could the prophecies have been warning cricketers of afridi!

POST OF THE WEEK FOR ME :19:

[nafajafam]

This love story will end with a billion broken hearts, all of them Indian !!

[Saj]

That was a really good piece of writing! someone should email it over to Bob Woolmer (and ask him to print out a copy and pass it on to Gregg Chappel ) , i'm sure it'll bring a chuckle or two. :)

Superb work AceBase, had me in stitches !

I've emailed it to Bob Woolmer's personal email address. Will let you know when or if he replies

[Saj]

hi Bob,

Hope you are well.

2 thoroughly enjoyable days of cricket from Lahore so far and best of luck for the remaining 3 days to you and the team.

I just wanted to pass on a wonderful little poem to you, that perhaps you could read out and translate if necessary to Shahid. It was written as a tribute to Shahid's innings of today, by one of our site members.

Best Regards

Saj

[Jonty]

fantastic!

[Usman]

Wow that is quite a brilliant piece of work Ace Base! You've got some talent there, fantastic work! Saj please do inform us if Bob replies to it. I wonder what an Indian reaction to this poem might be?

[cavin420]

[Long_Live_Pakistan]

brilliant piece of poetry...
rubbing salt into the wounds............................................ ........N sidhu
hehehehhehehe
kamal poetry he bhi jeee

[Ace Base]

Jazaak Allah Khairun Ikhwaan for all the praise even though the only One worthy of praise is Allah subhaana wa t'aalaa.

Wa maa tawfiqee illa bi Allah.

I didn't realise when I first posted the poem that it would evoke so many appreciative responses! I'm quite embarassed now, with all this attention.

I was at work when Afridi 'exploded' into the Indian bowling and with Allah as my Witness, I found it hard to breathe normally, or maintain any semblance of dignity in my office. After the fourth six off Harbhajan Singh, I almost collapsed in a paraoxysm of ecstacy. I can not explain why a 28 year old father of (almost) two, was behaving like a three year old in Charlie's Chocolate Factory.

Its one of those beautiful mysteries in life, inexplicable and powerful.

But at the same time completely understandable :D

[MIG]

My father, who is partially blind and has had a stroke, almost got up from his seat when he saw/heard Afridis 4th six !! So AceBase, your reaction is totally understandable !

[RumiNYC]

what ? father of two ? man u lucky son of a gun...i'm 28 and still unmarried kid =(

[Raz]

My father, who is partially blind and has had a stroke, almost got up from his seat when he saw/heard Afridis 4th six !! So AceBase, your reaction is totally understandable !

Lets hope your father gets to see Afridi hit 6 sixes in an over. :D

[Kashif]

Absolutely brilliant! I have just emailed it to all my Indian friends.

:D :D What a brilliant reply too! This is the Afridi effect, he's just so psychotropic, he's an amphetamine incarnate!

[Kashif]

Did you also send my great story that described his innings? :21:

[Ace Base]

Bumped for old times' sake.

[MIG]

A great ride that one - thanks for reviving it - the scores of Afridi followers will be reliving the good old days once more !

Brilliant, just brilliant!, your a talanted poet writer, keep up the good work. :19:

I liked this line:

"What tornado has hit us, the Indians scream?
What blitz is this, is this a bad dream?"

:))), just imagine the Indians screaming in the background, and Bhajji reapeating those words in a soft spoken voice, "what tornado has hit us, my fellow team mates screamed?, what blitz is this, is this a bad dream?.

Just imagine Bhajji saying that :))) .

[yk]

Smashed it Ace Base.

[Easa]

Simply superb, AB.

A pleasure to read that again.

[infamous9383]
