Cundell's Motivational Speech

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Isleham,
we shall fight on the square and slightly bumpy outfield,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength with the ball, we shall defend our wicket, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the crease,
we shall fight in the training nets,
we shall fight in the pavilion over tea,
we shall fight in the pub after a game;
we shall never surrender
