To be sung to the tune of The Doors' "Riders On The Storm".

"I tell ya, they wrote this song while watching me raid the minibar"  AFP

Ryder's on the storm,
Ryder's on the storm.
Into this bar we're gone
Out of this team we're thrown
Like the Kiwis without Dan
Or Pakistan without a ban.
Ryder's on the storm.

There's Chris Martin on the road
There ain't no runs on the board
Take a very wild swing
Then join me for a drink.
If you give this man a life
Match might balance on a knife
Chris Martin on the road, yeah.

Guys, you've gotta love this Dan.
Yeah we all love this Dan.
He takes the match by hand.
With a ninth-wicket stand.
The match on you depends,
Our hopes will never end.
You gotta love this Dan, yeah.

Ryder's on the storm.
Ryder's on the storm, yeah.
