 Guardian Unlimited Sport | Cricket | Interview: Mark Waugh
Mark Waugh has scored 81 first-class hundreds in his triumphant career, but the century he is closing in on as he sits in the foyer of a hotel in Oxford is not numbered among his favourites.
But if this is the end, if his place in history is to be now marked as indelibly in the record books as it is on his ankle, then Waugh seems determined to face up to it with the same shoulder-shrugging display of indifference that has characterised his every move in cricket.
Waugh has signed a two-week contract with the county for whom he played with such distinction in the early 90s.

 Sport | Curtain comes down on Mark Waugh
The Australia selectors did the unthinkable yesterday and announced that Mark Waugh, the younger of the Sydney-born twins who together are the most capped siblings the game has seen, was dropped from the side to face England in the first Ashes Test which starts in Brisbane on Thursday week.
Waugh's replacement is the 32-year-old Darren Lehmann, the Yorkshire captain, a move hardly likely to gain plaudits when the time would seem right for the introduction of the next generation.
Waugh is believed to have had the support of his teammates but, after a lean time with the bat, had failed to take the opportunities offered by the recent series against Pakistan in Sharjah and has paid the price.

 Mark Waugh Accepts End - Cricket News 28/10/02
Waugh, who has been in a slump recently after being dropped from the Australian One Day Team, was not able to hold his place in the Test squad after a recent poor performance against Pakistan in their three match series held in Colombo and Sharjah.
Although Waugh has performed exceptionally well in previous Ashes series against the English, both in England and at home, the ACB believes Darren Lehmann to be a more suitable selection due to his consistent form with the bat over the last few seasons.
Waugh continued to maintain the confidence of fellow Australian team members, many of whom have come out in support of their team-mate in recent days with a number of media interviews, but was unable to stave off his inevitable even if, mostly unexpected axing from the Test team.

 The timing never sweeter for Mark Waugh - theage.com.au
Sweet timing has been the essence of Mark Waugh's batting at its best, and sweet timing is likely to have worked for him yesterday when the Australian selectors sat to decide his Test future.
The case against the junior Waugh twin's selection for the first Test against England, which starts in Brisbane on November 7, is compelling enough, and his omission would raise few eyebrows.
The decision to axe Waugh would be hard to resist if his figures showed he had lost the ability to play at Test level; if a prospective replacement was pushing down the door with the sheer weight of runs; and if the Australian team would perform better without him.

Waugh, who averaged 41.82 in 128 Tests, had been mentioned as a NSW-backed candidate for the four-man panel but he has admitted in the past to not being an interested cricket watcher.
