I'm out of form

I’m out of luck, I’m out of form
Don’t know how I’ll weather the storm

The legs will move, the blood will flow
Take it easy, nice and slow
Do it little by little, blow by blow

I watch the ball, can’t watch my back
The knives are out, want me on the rack
Looking for luck, needle in a haystack

Forget the world, stare at a bird’s eye
You’re not a myth, you’re not an evil Sith
You’re still playing, you’re still brick-laying

I’m out of luck, I’m out of form
Don’t know how I’ll weather the storm

Open your mind, open your stance
Look at the field, give it one more glance
Forget about luck, forget about chance

I hear voices and I hear noises
I hear raves and I hear rants
I hear don’ts and I can’ts

Blank the crowd, blank the bowler
Let ‘em boo, let ‘em holler
Treat ‘em like another blank caller

I’m out of luck, I’m out of form
Don’t know how I’ll weather the storm

Fear Of The Clarke

Asked if he was still the best choice as Australian captain, Ricky Ponting replied "Absolutely - I've got no doubt about that at all. I will give my absolute best as I always have since I've been the Australian captain … to be the best leader I can be and the best player I can be."

But is Ponting just putting on a brave face? Is this what he really believes? As more people begin to question whether he has ever been the right choice as skipper, there are some who wonder if deep inside Ricky is convinced himself and whether he's trying to suppress recurring nightmares. Sources have informed us that a new artist, suspiciously named "pRiggy", has released a single titled "Fear of the Clarke." At this point we are trying to ascertain if it is indeed pRick singing. Bored has obtained a complete bootlegged copy of the track, but due to copyright concerns we can only release a 30 second preview right now...

Bored Anthem Comes To Life

Here you go, Bored Cricket... now in your ears too!


Aanchal+Vandu on percussion, production by Achettup, song by Naked Cricket


Lyrics

If you’re bored like I’m bored
Got nothing happening but for the cricket
Why don’t you come on over
Come on over to me

Bring me your childhood memories
From those Kanpur tanneries
Bring me your adolescent meanderings
Through those tea gardens of Darjeeling
Bring me your sepia toned games
From places that had, had different names

How you played through the stench
How you pulled out the ball from a Tiger in Pench
How you ran into the Indian Ocean
for a catch, throwing caution
to the wind
How you bowled through a hurricane
How you batted with one helluva migraine

You got it
I want it

‘Cause you’re bored like I’m bored
Got nothing happening but for the cricket
‘Cause we’re bored, so fucking bored
Bored Cricket Crazy Indians

So
Take me to your sepia toned games
From places that had, had different names
Take me to
Bezwada, Benaras and Bombay
Take me to
Calicut, Cochin and Calcutta
Take me to
Trivandrum, Trichur and Madras

Take me to
Your childhood memories
From those Kanpur tanneries
How you played through the stench
How you pulled out the ball from a Tiger in Pench
You got it
I want it

Cause we’re bored, so fucking bored
Bored Cricket Crazy Indians
