You may say I'm a seamer: ICC puts cricket twist on Lennon classic 'Imagine'
February 10, 2019 10:22 MYT
The ICC's official Twitter account took a bizarre turn on Sunday as it published fully revised lyrics to the John Lennon classic 'Imagine'.
Beatles icon Lennon is recognised as one of the greatest songwriters of all time but - to our knowledge - he never dedicated an entire song to cricket.
The sport's governing body righted that perceived wrong by coming up with lines such as: "You may say I'm a seamer, but I'm not James Anderson."
We look forward to a full ICC-Beatles crossover album, which might feature hits such as 'Wicket to Ride' or 'A Hard Day/Night'.
"You may say I’m a seamer But I’m not James Anderson. I hope someday you’ll edge behind And the cordon will appeal as one!"

Lyrics in full:
Imagine there's no umpire, it's easy if you try.
Imagine there's no Dhoni, it's so very hard to do.
You may say I'm a seamer, but I'm not James Anderson.
Imagine there's no winter, I wonder if you can?
Ooooohhhh [everyone now]
