Steve Waugh’s stunning capacity to remain cool amidst critical moments makes him one of the greatest batsmen to grace the cricket. Above all, he had the alchemy of playing long innings and still be able to maintain a perfect bowling rhythm.Though he lacked the paraphernalia which chases a pompous cricketer,he,nevertheless, carved a special place in the hearts of his well-wishers.It’s not an easy task to infuse sense of togetherness in a team comprised of stars.
However,Steve not only managed to make his team touch the pinnacle but also provided breeding ground to some of the exceptionally talented Australian players.He decided,following in the footsteps of legendary players,to bid adieu to the game when he felt he has transcended his prime unlike our Indian players who love to slide into darkness with mediocre performances in the fag end of their career .His ‘golden heart’, which bleeds for underprivileged,lends an eternal touch to his persona,turning him into a ideal role model for wannabe cricketers .
