[@sudhanshumitra1989]

One of the greatest test cricketer of Australia at paar with McGrath, Warne & Gilchrist....averaging nearly 60 in first innings from 90 - 2000 i.e. almost for 10 years...

[@Ashish-nd3xj]

Glad you mentioned gilly !

[@bromeotorres6964]

No Ponting though?

[@sudhanshumitra1989]

@Remen-tj3ph one of the all time legend..his knock of 120* vs SA in 1999 wc was probably the knock which laid the foundations for the INVINCIBLE AUSTRALIA

[@sudhanshumitra1989]

@@bromeotorres6964 Ponting probably the finest Aussie batsman after Sir Don Bradman...but as far as impact is concerned ...in my own assessment Waugh was better than Ponting....whereas Gilly,Warnie& Piegon were probably the greatest game changers that Aussie's have produced ever....

[@Bernie8330]

Why have you ignorned Mark? He was not inferior.

[@factchecker297]

Though an Indian ,still I miss that Steve Waugh Era of Australian cricket , I hated that Australian team but now I miss that team the most, insane level of domination for more than a decade from Steve to Ricky .

[@olivertwist8292]

Their ERA was the best.....but now no team can dominate like them.....not even the new Australia.

[@factchecker297]

@@olivertwist8292 that era did see cricket viewership and fan following on a whole different level which is incomparable but we also can't outrightly deny that in this era the gap between top notch teams and others finding themselves a little lagging than others is significantly very less as compared to the gap between teams say 20 years ago ,so that level of domination is impossible but we do England and India a little ahead of other teams that's why this Australian team often gets criticised coz ppl often compare to that great Australian team played under Waugh and Ponting .

[@sudhanshumitra1989]

This Steve Waugh & Ricky Ponting lead Oz team was outrageous...just class way above than other teams...

[@supremacy1243]

One of toughest batsman who prices his wickets in any conditions

[@anirudhanagarajan7530]

Doesn’t account take away from him about the bowlers being bad. Against good bowling attacks he prized his wicket and made life hard

[@supremacy1243]

@@anirudhanagarajan7530 yes he was very good against good bowling (eg Donald)

[@jaikumarjadhav6575]

Steve Waugh performed in some of the toughest batting conditions (Grenada 1995, Edgbaston 1999 WC vs South Africa, in last league match he scored 120* from 50/3 to chase 280 against peak Donald, Pollock)

[@surferosh]

and many more situations when his team was in trouble. and yet for some reason there consistently have been a few critics (haters even) of Waugh.

[@MadhuMita-qh8zk]

Australian skipper and all rounder Steve Waugh was my childhood crush. Steve Waugh from Oceania. I enjoyed his walking talking stares. When he came for the toss round, wearing that cap and that silk coat, reserved, eyes either looking forward or looking downward, my heart beat faster. I remember him holding the trophy with his hands smiling when the nation won the world cup.i think that was 99'. I still do love him. As Shakespeare wrote in his sonnet about love - ' ......it is an ever fixed mark', ' .......love's is not time's fool ....' Best of luck captain for your present and future

If I had to get a batsman to bat for my life steve waugh is the one I would pick.

[@abbasraza8906]

He's the best captain in the cricket history ❤

[@AK-xj8lg]

The time when all Indian bowlers bowled at the speeds of a spinner. 🤣

[@thefunpolice]

Loved watching the Waugh brothers bat for different reasons. Mark was poised, elegant, composed. Steve was dogged, a fighter. If you had your back to the wall, he's the guy you'd want. And then there's Ponting. Punter had both of those qualities in some measure.

[@WarriorsSon]

Imagine increasing your average , problem solving against the short ball by removing the hook shot,becoming a great captain and being reliable in a crisis somehow being translated into the less stylish waugh, seen as selfish and too defensive. People who know nothing about cricket and hard work will never recognise S.Waugh. A talented bat who set aside the way he looked to give Australia results and a rock to rely on.

[@MySparton]

Nice way to keep the spirits high of ur country men.

[@dhaanushl6465]

Australia don't have Batsman like Steve Waugh in the current Series in India

@@20shourya I m an Indian....but even though your comment shows immense disrespect to the legacy of Steve Waugh...he was better test batsman than Ricky Ponting & even Steve Smith as far as impact is concerned....A batsman of Steve Waugh's mindset can even score hundred easily in front of Bumrah, Shami,Siraj,Ashwin & Jadeja...Steve Waugh has faced Bowlers of this quality throughout his entire career and ended up hitting 32 hundreds & 10k test runs...in simple if you wanna witness his impact see his innings of 120 not out vs SA in 1999 wc...u will understand why Steve Waugh was the most loved cricketer alongside Warne, McGrath & Gilchrist....

In the 1990s India were only strong at home.

This tour, India wasn't a strong team.. 3-4 Inexperienced players with Out of Form Players.. Only Ganguly Shined throughout the tour..With Tendulkar's couple of good performance.. The Indian team was bound to suffer.. Australia was totally in form & on the roll.. 3-0 was the expected scoreline..
