Take a look his take on the pain of a bowler.

Cricket will never be fair
Till bowlers get their rightful share
For toiling in the midday sun
What should be done
Its simple ..
Make those wickets broader and taller !!
That should make it much more fun
For the poor perspiring bowler.

PS:In the interest of the game
the size of the bat will remain the same
