Mark Waugh is a Australian former international cricketer, who represented Australia in Test matches from early 1991 to late 2002, after previously making his One Day International (ODI) debut in 1988.
After two unproductive Tests on the 1993 New Zealand tour, Waugh was dropped for the third Test, this time in favour of the younger Damien Martyn. In the ODI series, Australia opted for a new strategy and promoted Waugh to open the batting. He scored 60 and 57 in the first two matches to help set up an Australian victory, then scored his maiden ODI century, 108 in Hamilton.[100][101][102] A score of 83 in the final match made him the leading batsman of the series with 308 runs at 61.60.[103]
Waugh made starts in all four innings of the first two Ashes Tests in Australia in 1998-99, scoring 31, 27*, 36 and 17* as the first two matches were drawn and won respectively.[161] In the build-up to the third Test in Adelaide, news broke that in 1994-95 Waugh and Shane Warne had accepted money from an Indian bookmaker in exchange for pitch and weather information. The Australian Cricket Board (ACB) has secretly fined both players for their actions.[161] The ACB's suppression of the case and the actions of the two players were widely condemned.[162]
Waugh was booed when he went out to bat in the first innings and, apparently rattled by the hostile reception, he batted scratchily for 36 minutes before being dismissed for seven. He regarded it as the most difficult day of his career.[163] In the second innings, he scored an unbeaten 51 and was given a standing ovation by some parts of the crowd in contrast to other hostile sections. He took three catches in England's second innings as Australia won the match to retain the Ashes.[164] Waugh scored 36 and 43 in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which saw him pass 1,000 Test runs for the calendar year.[164]
Waugh started 1999 as he did the previous year, with a century in the New Year's Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground. After being dropped before he had scored, Waugh scored 121 in five hours on the first day, sharing a partnership of 190 with his brother. He became the fifth Australian to take 100 Test catches when he caught Nasser Hussain in the first innings from the bowling of Colin Miller. Australia won the Test and Waugh ended the series with 393 runs at 56.14, placing him second in the batting averages.[165] In the ODI series, he scored six consecutive half-centuries in a consistent run that augured well for the upcoming World Cup.[95] His tally of 542 runs at 49.27 was the highest for the tournament. For the majority of the ODI tournament, Waugh acted as vice-captain to Warne as his brother Steve was sidelined by a hamstring strain.

Manish Pandey is a better batsman than Mark Waugh because Manish Pandey scored an unbeaten century against Australia in Australia in Sydney SCG while chasing the target 330 in his fourth ODI of his career in his third ODI innings.
