The poem that we read out in the cricket episode, my favorite poem, about the play up, play up and play the game.

Sentiment: Passing Reference
Trigger: British military history
For: Readers interested in British imperial history and poetry
Key quote: Oh, about the play up, play up and play the game, play up, play up and play the game.
The host mentions 'Vita Lampada' in relation to a significant battle during the British military campaign in Sudan. The poem serves as a cultural reference that encapsulates the themes of duty and sacrifice associated with the British Empire.
