On your way to making a century,
Did you think of the partnership between you and me?
It’s just not cricket.
Caught me out on the defensive strokes,
Classic actions and you played defensive shots,
It’s just not cricket.

Another single on the board against my name,
Good form in defence not part of my game,
Thought that we were partnering upon a good wicket,
But the way you treated me it’s just not cricket.

(No one’s ever gonna catch you out howzat!
No one’s ever gonna know about the way you play
It’s just not cricket) x 2

You were in good form that day,
Every ball you played away to the boundary,
And it’s just not cricket

You made the calls and you played your shots,
Smash of the bat and you knocked me for a six,
And it’s just not cricket

Another single on the board against my name,
Good form in defence not part of my game,
Thought that we were partnering upon a good wicket,
But the way you treated me it’s just not cricket.

(No one’s ever gonna catch you out howzat!
No one’s ever gonna know about the way you play
It’s just not cricket) x 2

(And it’s just not cricket) x 2
