CRICKET CONGRATULATIONS.
843! Well done! Well played! Well hit!
It opens Mr. Punch's eyes a bit
To see our friends of the Antipodes
Pile up their hundreds with the utmost ease.
Bruce leads the way, and shows Blues—Dark and Light—
Left-handed men may play the game aright.
Then Bannerman, safe as a Gunn is he,
Exceeds the Century by thirty-three,
While five more than a hundred runs are due
