“Geez, I just played cricket because I loved the game. I never thought about it much; never really had any formal coaching.”
- Steve Waugh
Stephen Rodger Waugh, born in 1965, is an Australian former international cricketer and twin brother of cricketer Mark Waugh.
A right-handed batsman, he was also a medium-pace bowler.
As Australian Captain from 1997 to 2004, Steve Waugh led Australia to 15 of their record 16 consecutive Test wins, and to victory in the 1999 Cricket World Cup.
Waugh is considered the most successful Test Captain in history with 41 victories and a winning ratio of 72%!
Steve is also iconic for his gritty approach towards the game, at a time the ruthless West Indies pace bowlers ruled the roost.
He is also one of the main orchestrators of the modern-day Australian cricket empire.
The above quote depicts his simplistic view of cricket.
