Brian Charles Lara
Could watch him bat all day long
Easy on the eye

Runs at the Gabba
Aravinda is the man
A ton of courage

Daniel Robert Sams
Golden arm or golden bat?
Maybe he is both

AB and Maxi
Bamboozled by genius
Incredible pair

Master with the ball
Could land it on a hanky
Blindfolded as well

Leg spin bowling YES
Flipper, leg break wrong un too
Spinners are the best
