About Steve Waugh
Steve Waugh has played representative cricket for Australia since 1985, retiring in January 2004. His incredible career, spanning more than 18 years, has produced some outstanding moments in Australian sporting history.
Captaining the Australian Test team from 1999 to 2004 and the one-day side between 1997 / 98 and 2001 / 02, his leadership qualities have been described as 'inspiring'. Steve was spotted as a talented cricketer at the young age 17.
He was selected for the New South Wales side while playing first grade cricket in Sydney, and wore the baggy green cap for the first time in 1985, on a tour of South Africa.
Steve was the new kid on the block, and was a given a golden opportunity which led to one of Australia's most distinguished cricketing careers. Although better known for his cricket prowess, he is passionate about helping those less fortunate than himself.
His favourite personal philosophy on life is "If you don't stand up for something, you'll fall for everything". To Steve Waugh, being Australian is about "looking after your mates, taking care of your family, being able to have a laugh at yourself".
As a cricketer Steve has broken many records. As a person he is an inspiration, not only for sports-loving Australians, but for many worldwide. Always leading by example, Steve is an extraordinary Australian and was awarded 2004 Australian of the Year.
