Steve Waughs memorable test tons
His 177* in '89, finally breaks the shackles after 4 years going without a test ton
His 200 in '95 against the WI, goes without saying, considered one of the best knocks of all time
His 160 in '97 against SA, along with Blewett's 214 they put together a mammoth partnership, memorable IMO
Both his tons in that test during Ashes '97, a rare event and it was a match winning effort
His 112 in Ashes '98, rescued Australia on Day 1 of the series from 5/100 to make sure this was yet another replica urn not reaching england's shores
His 199 in 1999 against the Windies, possibly a little overshadowed by Brian's 153* in the same match, but an epic innings nonetheless, came within a whisker of his second double ton, its always memorable to fall that short
His 151* in '99 against Zimbabwe, which made him the first person to score tons against all 8 test playing opponents at the time.
His 157* not in Ashes '01, his last ever test in England ended in a blaze of glory
And his last ball four for his 102 in Ashes '03, no need to go into detail about why this was memorable
So yeah, Steve Waugh for mine! And his 120* against SA in the '99 World Cup is objectively in the top 5 ODI centuries of all time. to say otherwise is showing a poor understanding of what makes a cricket narrative so enticing
i'll hop off Steve now, but my god he's a champ
