Bodyline

	Steve Waugh
		Waugh, along with the bowling of Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath[?], provided perhaps the major foundation upon which the Australian team rose to become what was widely regarded as the best team in the world by the mid-1990s.
		Steve Waugh's ruthless approach has led to a succession of drubbings of hapless, outclassed opposition and a record run of 16 consecutive Test match wins, easily eclipsing the previous record of 10 by the West Indies.
		Waugh lost the one-day captaincy, and indeed a spot in the one-day side, in 2001-2, but in typical style, declared that he wished to regain a place in the team (though most observers regard that at 38 and with a large queue of worthy players also unable to get a place his recall is unlikely).

	Steve Waugh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Waugh rarely played the "hook shot" and was therefore regarded as vulnerable to short-pitched bowling, a theory that was widely tested by his opponents.
		Waugh took over the captaincy of the one-day side in 1997-98, after captain Mark Taylor and vice-captain Ian Healy, the two oldest players in the team were dropped following Australia's failure to qualify for the Australian tri-nations tournament in the 1995-96 season the year before.
		Waugh saved his best for two must-win games against South Africa, scoring 120 against South Africa in the last game of the "Super Six" to ensure Australia's progression to the semi-final, and then 56 in the semi, which was tied.

	Warne indulges in war of words with Steve Waugh -DAWN - Sport; May 9, 2006
		LONDON, May 8: Australian spinner Shane Warne has hit back at former captain Steve Waugh who claimed his team were too friendly with the English players during last year's Ashes series.
		The teams often met after a day's play in the series, which England won 2-1, and Waugh felt it contributed to the Australians' surrender of the Ashes for the first time in 17 years.
		Australia had two captains towards the end of Waugh's reign with Ricky Ponting taking over for the One-day Internationals and Vaughan's record in one-day cricket is far inferior to his Test record.

	Steve Waugh deserves a better farewell - Deccan Herald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		That Steve Waugh was defiled, ridiculed and pilloried by the so-called ‘experts,’ by men who have played cricket at the highest level with no little success and by personnel from the Aussie media who might not always have liked Waugh the individual as opposed to Waugh the cricketer, was a little hard to digest.
		It is unlikely that the previous 26 occasions on which Waugh was involved in a run out in Test cricket attracted even half the attention this incident did.
		All the talk is about how Waugh’s farewell series could take the edge off the World Champions’ arsenal; that is a huge insult to not just the combative Waugh, but also to his brave legion that has always managed to separate the sentiment from the reality.
