Come one and come all and I'll tell you a tale About a team dressed in Green with a mountain to scale They bowled and the Fielded but to no avail And Three Twenty Seven put them firmly in jail
They came out to bat looking eager and brash But one through to five were gone in a flash Then out came O'Brien a giant of a man With what looked like a cannon But it was a bat in his hand
He started his assault with nothing to lose And partnered by Cusack they started to cruise As the weary English wilted with shot after shot This incredible partnership got Ireland on top
Oh no it was broken but no need to worry In came Mooney and things continued to hurry And as they soldiered on we continued to run it But sadly for O'Brien just fell short of the summit
Enter Johnston with Mooney to Earn their fresh bread So the end of O'Brien would not lead to dread A swat from Mooney with six balls to go Sent Ireland delirious and the champagne did flow
And now I have come to the end of my tale There are many green hero's for us all to hail They fought to the end for to cause an upset And provided us with a day we will never forget
THE BATTLE OF BANGALORE
