Waugh’s Way
This is the story of how a battling fringe Test player reinvented himself as one of the greats in Australian cricket history by courage, skill and application.
In 1989, Steve Waugh came of age as a star Test batsman with dominant big innings against England during the 1989 Ashes. After a shaky start he maintained Australia at the top of Test cricket, led the country in a sensational World Cup campaign, and returned the biggest winning runs in history in both forms of the game. Roland Perry, biographer of Sir Donald Bradman (The Don) and Shane Warne (Bold Warnie) delivers a compelling narrative that has drama and pace. The book explores the character, warts and all, of the person with the most high profile job in Australian sport. This mass market edition has been updated to include all the drama from the summer of 2001-2002 and the triumphant Australian tour of South Africa, as well as the controversy surrounding the shocking announcement that Waugh would be dropped as both captain and player of the One-Day side.
