Do They Know It’s Cricket Time Version 2.0

By Aiden McLaughlin
The Alternative Commentary Collective have today launched their long awaited music video for “Do They Know It’s Cricket Time”. As welcome as it is, here at Sportsfreak, we fear Bob Geldof lawsuits even less than our friends at The ACC, and so, whilst shamelessly ripping off their awesome idea, we’ve decided to go a little further and put our own ‘spin’ on the classic lyrics. We hope you enjoy.
It’s cricket time, there’s no need to be afraid
At cricket time, we clap in batters and we say well played
And in the Bay of Plenty we can spread some bowling ploys
Throw your arms around the world at cricket time
But say a prayer, Pray for the rugby ones
At cricket time it’s hard, but when you’re scoring runs
There’s a world outside your fielders
And it’s a world of chips and beer
Where the only score that’s flowing
Is Finn Allen through the gears
And the cricket bails that fall
They are the dreaded sound of doom
Well tonight thank God it’s them instead of you
And there won’t be snow in Dunedin this cricket time
The greatest gift they’ll get this year is play
Where lots of wickets fall
At the Suzie Bates Oval
Do they know it’s cricket time at all?
Here’s to you
Raise a bat to everyone
Here’s to them
Scoring all those precious runs
Do they know it’s cricket time at all?
Feed the crowd
Feed the crowd
Feed the crowd
Let them know it’s cricket time again
Feed the crowd
Let them know it’s cricket time again
Feed the crowd
Let them know it’s cricket time again
Feed the crowd
Let them know it’s cricket time again…
The ACC will have live commentary of all Black Caps games this summer on iHeartRadio
