The australian cricket is on a role now after the ashes victory.the victory should be credited to all the players but one player deserves more applause than the others.
it is steve waugh the captain of australian side.he is a worthy successor of mark taylor another successful captain of australia.steve has led his team to apex of glory in world cricket.
steve was the obvious choice for captaincy after mark taylor and he has done his job to perfection.he is one most aggressive captain I have seen.this guy just does not give up.you can never write this guy off.
this man has the knack of rescuing his team in crunch situations.he has such a cool head over his shoulders that he does not succumb to any sort of pressure.he himself sets the example on the field.he is a batsman full of guts and a superb fielder.just look at the way he defeated the south africans almost single handedly in the 99 world cup.
he backs up his players very well and that is what every player expects from his captain.Warne when he was going through a rough patch after his shoulder surgery it was steve who backed him up.it was steve who kept on damien martyn and what a plyer he turned out to be in the ashes tour.what a find he has been to this star studded australian team.a team though talented has to be led efficiently and that is exactly what steve has done.
steve though accused of sledging displays tremendous sportsman spirit.this team has led by steve waugh are truly the world beaters.
