RISING OF A GREAT LEGEND

‘Best of all time’ - these two words are small in size but very heavy in weight. The heavier it is, the more controversial it is. Because it’s not easy to find someone as the best of all time. For many, disagreement is the best thing ever. For example, if the best player of all time in the history of football, Maradona, Messi or Ronaldo, the debate is ongoing and will continue. Who is the best batsman in the history of cricket? The name of Donald Bradman is clearer in the answer but the name of Sachin Tendulkar-Brian Lara will not be pronounced. Shane Warne and Muttiah Muralitharan are the most controversial spinners of all time. Former Australia captain Steve Waugh is one of the top leaders in the controversy over the best cricket captain of all time.

The success of Test captain Steve Waugh has skyrocketed. From March 5, 1999 to January 7, 2004, Steve led Australia in 5T Tests, winning 41 of them. There are only 9 matches with that draw. A 61.92 percent Test win puts him at the top of the list of the best Test captains of all time. His next position in this edition of cricket as a percentage of wins is that of his successor Aussie captain Ricky Ponting.Another version of international cricket is one-day cricket captain wins, 35 defeats and three draws in the next 107 matches of captain Steve Waugh. The winning match is 85.23 percent. Waugh captained ODI cricket from 1999 to 2002. He was the leader of the 1999 World Cup winning team. In the combination of Test and ODI formats, Steve Roger Waugh won .2.25 percent of the total matches.

A MEMORABLE DEBUT SERIES

Steve Waugh scored 13, 5, 6 and 0 in 4 innings of his debut series, respectively. Despite so many failures on home soil, Steve went well with the team in the New Zealand series. He batted in 5 innings in that series. After 11 runs in the first innings, he faced 162 balls in the next innings and scored .4 runs to break the cycle of failure. Wahoo took 4 wickets for 5 runs in this match. However, he failed again in the next 3 innings, the total collection in those 3 innings was 2 runs.

Wah made his ODI debut on January 9, 1986 in the India-Australia-New Zealand tri-series. In the opening match, the New Zealand captain took the wicket with 2 balls to spare. In the next match against India, he played a 40-run innings, bowled 10 overs and took another wicket with Azharuddin in his pocket. Steve has been a regular on the team ever since. From his debut until 1991, Steve played 42 Tests for Australia. He has scored 2,085 runs at an average of 3.2.24 with 13 half-centuries.

CAREER WAS GOING ON SUPREME SPEED

At the close end of his career, the Test average was 51.06. Steve failed to score a century or a half-century in any format throughout the nineties, even being dropped from the team. And in his place, his 4-minute younger brother Mark Edward Wah has found a place in the team. Mark played his debut match and scored 136 runs in an innings. After playing Mark 4 Tests, Steve Waugh returned to the squad on April 2 with a match against the West Indies in Port of Spain. The first Test between the two brothers was played together, although the two brothers played ODIs together in 1989.

Despite making his Test debut in 1985, Steve made his Test debut in 1989 with three images. He played an unbeaten 18-run innings against England. He scored just 200 runs in an innings against the West Indies in 1995. Steve was also a member of the team that won the 1986 World Cup. Wa (who played 1T Test for Australia) has played the highest 1 Test for Australia and has played 122 Tests since 1993 until his retirement. His average is the third highest at this time of any batsman in the game. Sachin Tendulkar's .1.50 and Rahul Dravid's 5.4.42 are followed by Steve Waugh.

Centuries and half-centuries are 15 and 10, respectively, Steve has averaged 50.44 and 16 centuries in the remaining 111 Tests of his career.At this time, however, the number of his half centuries is 40.

Steve returned to the pavilion only twice during his tenure as captain and scored 70 or more.

13th April 199. Steve began his career as a captain in ODI cricket. The story of Captain Steve is told from the beginning. He is undoubtedly one of the best captains in the history of cricket.

Alan Border is in second place with 11,174 runs and Ricky Ponting is in first place with more than 13,000 runs.
