There must be a system.
There must be cohesion.
We simply cannot just pile in David Willey-nilly.

I don't care really mind, but I insist that songs that just have the word "cricket" (or words to that affect) be disbarred with extreme prejudice.
Especially when they start with the sound of crickets.

Ultimately, the song should be about cricket, cricket players, cricket rules and nomenclature even if there's nothing particularly 'cricket-y' about the song in itself.

Like, if the word "wicked" is repeated throughout the song, but could be misheard as "wicket", it doesn't count.
