He has been competing in the International arena since the mid-1980s.Steve was chosen back in the mid-1980s for his medium paced bowling and run scoring in the middle order. But now Waugh's bowling has taken a back seat due to back trouble, but his back hasn't stopped him from being one of the world's best batters.Steve was the captain of the Australian one-day squad in the summer 1997-1998.We are only a few weeks away from the Australian summer cricket season when we will see the Australian cricket team in all their action.- Anthony Pearce (anthonyp@girl.com.au)
