The shame

Cricket in India is unofficially declared as our national game
Fans support the team unconditionally & bring lot of acclaim

A few names erupt from nowhere and reach the pinnacle of fame
Also, many are held in high esteem and become household name

Such players should know the secret of such respect, is none than the game
For Cricket is immortal and players are temporary carrier of this flame

The players should bear that playing fair game should be their only aim
For when greediness takes over mind, no one accept what they claim

A few players, out of sheer foolishness, make it lame
And offer opportunity to critics to fire from all sides for the same

Finally, their act of irresponsibility makes them accept the blame
Hurting the sentiments of a true follower and hang his head in shame
