The ball is high in the air
Fielder settling under it
The fans just can't believe
Batsman has miscued a simple hit

The fans are all in a shock
Some have hands over their mouth
The fire burning in their hearts
Is suddenly starting to douse

The ball is well above the lights
No chance for it to be lost
The teammates sit in utter disbelief
They had to win this match at any cost

The equation was so simple
Just one run to win the match
And now this silly lad
Has lofted the last wicket for a catch

Finally the ball comes down
Air somehow swivels it around
The fielder adjust at the last moment
But the ball still hits the ground

The crowd heaves a sigh of relief
Everyone releases their breath at last
Watching the catch go down
Batsmen scamper for a single fast

The match is over
An incredible win
The crowd has got its voice again
It's time for the celebrations to begin

Phew...
That was a really close finish!!
