Deano

Batting for Australia was his  call
Deano struck it hard having a ball
I remember him in the Indian heat
His 210 in the tied Test was a super feat

And when Border was our  Captain Courageous
He played 52 Tests and made 3631 runs so outrageous
He knocked eleven centuries in the baggy green
Having as an average of 46.55 runs a batsman’s dream

But now his final Test has come
Passing in his 59th  year as the end of his run
And so becomes one for the ages on his final day
Growing his Legend as a final say.
