Description
Here is the inspiring story of a young boy from Panania who grew up to become one of the world's greatest cricketers. On Monday, 28 October 2002, Mark Waugh officially announced his retirement from international cricket. In the days before and after, talkback radio buzzed with the voices of those who thought he was being treated poorly. But after playing 128 tests Mark Waugh knew better than anyone that sentiment has no place in Australian Test team selection. His time had come and he knew that after travelling the world playing a game he loved, he was a lucky man. Mark Edward Waugh and his twin brother, Stephen, were born with astonishing athletic talent and were bound to enter sport at an elite level ... the question was which sport—soccer, tennis or cricket? Luckily for fans of cricket Mark chose the latter. Once he donned the Baggy Green, Mark proved he was amongst the world's most gifted batsmen when he became the first player to score back-to-back centuries as well as to hit three centuries in a World Cup Tournament.
This updated edition of Mark Waugh: The Biography explores Mark's passion for the track, the bookmaker scandals, the sledging and how he felt when he was dropped from the Aussie team. James Knight flashes out the enigmatic picture created by the media and shows us the private man behind the tabloid headlines.
