You set me spinning
A wizard of mastery
and mystery
Joyous to watch
Your skill and enthusiasm
To be bamboozled by googlies
Flustered by flippers
To be treated to a masterclass
Every time
And now, never again
Will we hear the words
'Bowling Shane'
Brings a tear to my eye
Never again that zinc cream smile
Sits heavy in my chest
Though I wanted to
I could never bowl as well as you
But there was no one better
To emulate
No one better to hate
In all those Ashes defeats
And no one better to miss
Not that we wanted to so soon
