Those readers who want to know exactly what a clerihew is, try clicking on the word and you'll get the spec.  Alternatively, read on and you'll soon get the idea.

Ged Ladd,
Scribbled in his writing pad;
When watching day two's sporting,
To try clerihew reporting.

Owais Shah,
Can hit the ball far;
He got to fifty with another,
Glorious drive through extra cover.

Tim "Viscount" Linley,
Is tall and spindley;
When appealing against a player,
He dances around in the style of Leo Sayer.

Jade Dernbach,
Caused a keeper catch;
It ended a hundred partnership divine,
As Shah hoiked across the line.

Announcer "Mr Perambulate",
Can loquate;
With unfeasible levels of precision,
If not erudition.

Dawid Malan,
What a man;
He drew emphatic applause from everyone,
When he reached his ton.

Rory Hamilton-Brown,
What a clown;
You don't win many county championship matches,
If you spill that many slip catches.

Chris Tremlett,
Keeps fit;
He ran through the Middlesex tail easily,
But not before we'd accumulated 423.

Steve Davies,
Might not expect me to say this;
But he batted with fluent tones,
Until he was done by Toby Roland-Jones.

Mark Ramprakash,
For once looked utterly gash;
And despite his more glorious Middlesex and Lord's beginnings,
That sorry show might have been his last first class Lord's innings.

Toby Roland-Jones,
Is a pace bowler through to his bones;
A star was born on the field of play tonight,
His Michelle (five-fer) was more than a bit of alright.
