Still beating on the crease

Those were the days of the fifty's
when the game was not for him a fantasy,
Even as the sun above erupted,

Now at an age only sixty one,
he lies confined and bed-ridden.
Watching the empty ceiling in peace,
his heart still beating on the crease.

I would like to dedicate these few lines to
mr.Muhammed Ibrahim.A great cricketer
of kerela Ranji trophy.
