Shocking news of passing away in Mumbai. He was our coach during a T10 league a couple of years back. His ideas and insight were so unique. A very popular Aussie in India. Will miss you and your passionate voice sir.

Shocked to hear Deano is no more. His innovative batting and his professorial analysis in studio were always such a joy to watch. He was so full of life. Will miss watching him on TV and talking cricket with him. RIP

At a loss of words to express my grief at the passing of a man who I admired a lot. Loved chatting cricket with him. Genuinely loved the sport. 59 is not an age to go....too soon my friend. Too soon. World of cricket will be poorer in your absence. R.I.P., Deano.
