It may be green and it may be baggy
But it's also looking a little bit daggy
It's seen blood and sweat and plenty of beer
A national icon as near we have round here.
The baggy green is frayed and worn
It's seen repairs but was ne'er reborn
Back in '85 it was all brand new
A clear-cut bird and a kangaroo.
O'er the years it has worn and doesn't look good
But put it away? No chance that he would!
'It's special' he said when quizzed on its fate
I'll never surrender my little green mate.
Near two decades of battle and early next year
The baggy green cap may absorb yet a tear
Steve Waugh's standing down and his cap it retires
Just four more test matches, it's gone out on the wires.
The cap's duty near over, it'll be packed away
To be brought out perhaps on a special big day
As a family heirloom it's destined be sure
The cap that played tests on the head of Steve Waugh |

THE ultimate tribute to Stephen Waugh came not from the cricketing world but from a disadvantaged child in Kolkata. She probably knew nothing about the glorious game and what it meant to the great gladiator from New South Wales who was on a visit to "Udayan", a home for destitutes that he patronises.
Asked who this man was, the child mumbled proudly "Amaar baba (my father)." Waugh's radiant face reflected the state of his inner soul. Known for his stoic countenance, even Waugh struggled to hide his emotions that day. His eyes were moist when he discovered in what esteem the little girl held him. No cricketing award would have given the genial Waugh greater joy!
With Waugh's retirement, an era has come to an end. For quite some time, cricket in Australia will always be remembered for the Waugh era when he led his team on an all-conquering journey. New standards were set and peaks scaled as Waugh and his men gave domination in cricket a new meaning. |
