Steve Waugh's Poem


Just found a very cool poem from Steve Waugh about wearing the Baggy Green. Absolutely great!


A ball through the window A warm patch of grass
Arcros in the backyard were worth the panes of glass
A head full of heroes with cricket every day
Could it be that baggy cap would come your way?
Don't give up, now don't give up Never lose the dream
Its better than a crown of jewels to wear the baggy green
Batters take the centre Bowlers hit the seam
You never take for granted the baggy green

A bad LBW brings about a fight
Mum from the kitchen always makes it right
Play resumes, you dream again, you hear Australia shout
You wish the day would never end you're still not out
Don't give up, now don't give up Never lose the dream
Its better than a crown of jewels to wear the baggy green
Batters take the centre Bowlers hit the seam
You never take for granted the baggy green

See the crest resembles me and you
The green and gold of course, the emu and the roo
Just to feel the felt sends a shiver up your spine
You pinch yourself you can't believe its really mine
Don't give up, now don't give up Never lose the dream
Its better than a crown of jewels to wear the baggy green
Batters take the centre Bowlers hit the seam
You never take for granted the baggy green
No you never take for granted the baggy green
