There's a reason why there hasn't been many cricket songs in the past.
That's because it's a bad idea.
The best cricket song NWG has heard is the ABC Australian theme song for the cricket on the radio. That is genius (There's cricket on the radio and everything's ok).
NWG would welcome any other suggestions of other cricket songs that are not a) awful, b) embarrassing, c) ridiculous, d) meant as a serious song, but comes off as mad.
There is also a reason why no cricketer:
Has bought out a clothing range.
Has their own private plane.
Has their own cooking range (though Matthew Hayden may achieve this soon enough).
Has bought out an exercise video.

I wonder if it's the sort of thing Elemental would be interested in doing? His "Cup Of Brown Joy" is wonderful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELH0ivexKA
"More Battenburg for me" :)
Ummmmmm clothing - what about that Mr Lee?

How about "Two Become One" by the Spice Girls?
This song was about Samit Patel and his running between the wickets...how he always managed to convert a two into a one.
Brett Lee a fashion designer? Who'd have thought. Bravo.
any blog posts coming on Shoaib Akhtar and the pcb any time soon?
I've heard the album - it is brilliant and i don't work for them or anything. Really funny cricket songs. It shouldn't work but it utterly does - get in touch with them and get a review copy!!
Yes D Charlton! Excellent idea.
"I made a hundred in the backyard at mum's" by Greg Champion. Bliss.
No great songs about cricket? You obviously haven't heard 'When an Old Cricketer Leaves the Crease' by Roy Harper. Seaside Man writes about it on his blog http://seasideman.blog.co.uk/2009/03/20/when-an-old-cricketer-leaves-the-crease-5795528/
