Lyrics of the poem in the video:

#RISE

History will soon be made,Upon the board,Their honours engraved.Nerves on edge, muscles tighten.Jaws are set, knuckles whiten.A dot ball passes, atmosphere heightens.Those left standing: gods among titans.They’ll deliver the fight, session by session.The nation’s pride their only obsession.For one. For all.The bat.The ball.Old scores. New clashes.Together we’ll RiseFor The Urn.The Ashes.
