Profile Steve Waugh began his career as match-winner one-day all-rounder in the late eighties. He was a key player in Australia's 1987 World Cup victory. Back trouble has made his bowling less frequent in recent years. Today, he is one of the world's most dependable Test batsmen. Perhaps his greatest performances were his 200 against the West Indies at Sabina Park in 1995 and his centuries in each innings at Old Trafford in 1997, and at one-day level his 120 against South Africa in the 1999 World Cup. He became the captain of the Australian one-day team in 1997-98 and then of the Test team upon Mark Taylor's retirement in early 1999. He captained Austria’s World Cup winning side in England. He has also lead his side to 15 consecutive test wins. He has now become the third player in the history of Test cricket to reach the milestone of 10,000 runs. With 29 centuries, Steve Waugh has also equalled the Australian record of maximum Test centuries, he shares this record with late Sir Donald Bradman.
