Player
Profile
Steve Waugh is Mr. Dependable of the Australian team. He and his
twin brother Mark have completely different styles, Mark is the more elegant
player of the two, whereas Steve reamins the older, the thinker and the
improviser. Steve Waugh is famous for his big match temperament, as he
seldom fails his team on a big occasion. A good example would be his 120*
off 110 balls vs South Africa in the last match of the Super Sixes in World
Cup 1999. He came when it seemed impossible for Australia to reach the
semis, as there were stranded at 38/3 but from then on he steered his team
home and to the cup which they eventually won. In the same innings he was
dropped by Hershelle Gibbs, when Steve asked him "how does it feel to drop
the cup?", how prophetic those words were because if it were not for that
catch Australia would have never reached the semis or the finals to lift
the world cup (the fact whether Steve Waugh has psychic powers still remains
a mystery). He was the number one allrounder in the world a few years ago,
but recently an injury prevents him from bowling his medium pacers. Though
in tests Steve was doing very well, his one day form was quite poor until
the World Cup, where he was the second highest run scorer in the tournament
with 398 of them. Steve Waugh was appointed one day captain of Australia
in 1997 and the test captain in 1999. Since then he as lead his team well,
as Australia are now the most consistent team in the game, as well as the
world champs. Steve holds the record for the number of 90s (without scoring
a 100) in all of test cricket history, although it is a very unfortunate
record, it's one worth mentioning.
