Steve Waugh's Diary 2001 - Softcover

This is Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh's eighth' tour diary and covers an extraordinary 12 months of cricket. Waugh looks at some of the controversies plaguing cricket in the 21st century, including bribery and match-fixing, throwing, the physical demands on the game's elite and whether the game's great traditions are being sacrificed in the chase for the almighty dollar. Supported as usual by a superb array of photographs, many in colour and many taken by Waugh himself, it is a magnificent insight into the world of cricket, the Australian cricket team and what sets the Australian captain apart. Released after the visit of the Australian team in the UK this summer, the book will provide all cricket fans with a welcome insight into what makes Australian cricket such a success story.
