Deano was my favourite cricketer growing up.
When he got dropped from the Aus team, I thought it was the biggest sporting injustice ever (I was young). But I guess it was probably due to his prickly personality more than his batting skills or form.
A few years later, he got picked in a World XI to play AGAINST Australia (was there). He scored a century and almost won the match. I had hoped it would be enough to get him recalled to the Aus side, but deep down I knew that ship had sailed. At least he got one last chance to 'stick it up em' and show he was still one of the world's best.
Was a key player in the development of ODI cricket, a very good test batsman, an outspoken man and will be missed by fans worldwide.
I too was at the game. Very young. We made a late dash for it from our summer holiday campground down Mornington Peninsula way bc Deano was playing... for all sorts of reasons we were held up along the way and missed a good chunk of Deano’s innings ... correct me if I’m wrong, but in my memory he scored is century with a 6 - reckon he went from 96 to 102 ... I was one hundred percent behind the World XI that match bc of Deano.
