Author: Steve Waugh

Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 208


The Australian Test team through 2001-2002 achieved more famous victories, most notably a demolition of South Africa, the side rated by most critics as the second-best team in the world. However, the Australian one-day side stumbled, Steve Waugh's own form was mediocre and at the end of the Australian season he was stunningly sacked as one-day captain. This treatment of one of Australia's greatest ever cricketers was a decision as controversial as any made by selectors in recent years. Thus, Waugh's cricket diary of 2002 becomes a personal study of victory and defeat. Waugh examines the reasons why his cricket adventure has turned slightly sour, and ponders his future in the game. At the same time, once again we are taken behind the scenes for a captain's-eye view of this great Australian team and how the issues of the day impacted on them.
