Everybody assumed this would be Steve Waugh's last test, he had averaged just 29.3 over his previous 16 test matches, his career average dropping below 50. From this test until his last, 13 tests later, he would average 76.6 with four centuries. He would come back to this ground, this time for his actual final test, and almost repeat his heroics but unfortunately got out for 80 to end his career with a magnificent average of 51.06.
Australian skipper and all rounder Steve Waugh was my childhood crush. Steve Waugh from Oceania. I enjoyed his walking talking stares. When he came for the toss round wearing that cap, that silk coat reserved eyes either looking forward or looking downward my heart beat faster. I remember him holding the trophy with his hands smiling when the nation won the world cup, I think that was in 99'. I still do love him. As Shakespeare wrote in his sonnet about love - '.. it is an ever fixed mark.' ' ........ love's is not time's fool.....' Best of luck captain for your present and future
Watching this live was awesome. Jumping around the living room when he got the 100. I am not sure, even in his prime in the mid to late 90s, whether he ever struck the ball with as much authority as this dig. Great innings under immense pressure.
Had Gilly been thinking bout the team and not Steve Waugh or the crowd,that hundred would've had to wait till the next day. Just shows what a man Gilly was, unselfish and always aware of what the crowd wanted
Steve Waugh had great deep knowledge about the game about how to play according to situation. I miss those days of early 2000s and abt watching Steve Waugh play and also commentary of sir Tony Greig....such moments I really miss and are not found in nowadays cricket.
Steve Waugh - SI unit of Grit Yet to see a more determined fella than him, what he lacked in terms of class(Sachin or Lara), he more than made up for it with his sheer grit & determination, Cricket was lucky to have him
He is real example for playing in tough situation. Specially when team need it badly.. 120 vs SA in 1999 WC is highest of his ODI career I think. This is one of the great innings I saw..
man i remember watching this on tv. i was 12. immediately ran into the park next to my block of flats with my cricket bat yelling out for my brother to come play with me
Sachin ramesh tendulkar was one why cricket was born. Similarly, steve had this tendency to make all the cricket lovers GLUED to the television set SIMPLY cuz his stylish attitude. Wheneve i got up early morning 5am indian time put my tv set on then onto sports channel & coincidently i see steve playing his cricketing shots elegently. The way he walks, the way he talks, his expressions, his patience during pressure situation, his understanding among his fellow players as well as the opposition players were just UNBELIEVABLE. I TERMED HIM A PLAYER ALL THE CRICKET LOVERS ROUND THE WORLD DESERVED.. . .
Yeah but this was the defining moment of his late career. Everyone thought he might be getting binned after this Test, and he came out with a ton on his home ground. The moment was special
A great... But overrated and tagged as Legend.. Hardly had any impact, and had always fiested on tiring attacks owing to a top order that had Hayden and Ponting..
You idiot, Steve Waugh was the one who started the domination of Aussies from 1995. He was the one who took Australia home when they needed. He has saved Australia numerous amount of times. He was mentally the most toughest cricketer ever. If you think he's overrated than you have never watch the game of cricket. Don't make other Indians like us feel terrible by your comment.
@@abinashgogoi9575 exactly, and a real gentleman of the game I hear. I'd put Steve Waugh as a better captain than Ponting. Waugh really built the team into the 2nd invincibles.

@@doublewhopper67 how else do people get their information these days? I suppose you break out your dusty Encyclopedia Britannicas? 😅
Quite accurate information sir, you have a good memory unlike someone who doesn't
The man who laid foundation and made Australia a cricket superpower
that was Allan Border.
No. Allan was good but Steve was best
@@syednaveed17 i'd say tubby taylor was our best captain, but it's a close call.

What a great batsman&leader he was ❤😊
The greatest Australian captain ever ! love from India

We all thought the same thing that day. Well said
Ya gilly told in an interview that if he hit a four in the 5th ball and bring the half century it would go down as a infamous half century

One of the greatest captain and batsman all-time
Steve Waugh's game is pure class!
I was there that day with my family sister & parents the greatest day of all our lives superman Steve my hero
Speechless...
How perfect every stroke is....🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏
One of the greatest player of all-time...his last match was against India at Sydney
Caught by Sachin of Kumble's bowling
@@gulamkhan6695 he scored 80 runs
And drawn the match to prevent take India the series 😂😂 great to the face..true grit..
Let's see.......................who asked?
he was my favorite batsman for australia late 80s onwards he was one of the greatest batsmen to ever play cricket.truely awsome.
Last guy fighting everytime for his team.
Superb champion.
one of the few cricketing legends. contender for 1st or 2nd all time XI
Richie Benaud at 3:21 - "One of the biggest ovations you'll ever hear for a batsman who's made 69"
Love the look on Vaughan's face after he hits the 100
yeah best part hahah
Brings tears to your eyes. wow

Dear England, I saw at 0:17 you were applauding Steve even as he came on to the pitch. I won't forget that.
The man who laid the foundation and makes aus superpower.
Surprised there’s not more comments here. What a kick ass moment in sport. Old mate for PM.
man i remember watching this on tv. i was 12. immediately ran into the park next to my block of flats with my cricket bat yelling out for my brother to come play with me
Steve Waugh is all time Great!
Salute Boss... Respect From Bangladesh...
Steve waugh excellent batting.
Such authority in every stroke
I was there and I feel so lucky to have seen this live
The most complete batsman in cricketing world even I don’t see any flaw in his batting technique
The King of cool Steve Waugh!!
Almost everyone thought Waugh would be playing his last series and would be stopped after this. But he had other thoughts.
*Dropped
Cool Captain Steve Waugh.
At 40s how good he batting. Greatest player of all time. Our player struggling get 1 one run you know who i am telling about.
What a player!
Steve Waugh on retirement this test was special for Andrew Caddick Darren Gough Alec Stewart Matthew Hougard . Nasser Hussain amongs others .
Perhaps the greatest Australian cricketer... at paar with McGrath, Warne & Gilchrist...averaging 60 at first innings for almost a decade ....
Still.get goosebumps
I miss the commentary of sir Tony Greig Mr Bill Lawry
Sheila Dey i m also missing tony
Me too.

Steve the man.
Mental disintegration, what a great leader, Hard AF, batsman, bowler, fielder, he had everything. Pure inspiration.
Leader and fighter
This wasn't his last knock though..That was against India
When I was 13teen years old.and he was 19
I could listen to Bill Lawry. He's make a game of croquet sound bigger than Maybe Diva winning the AFL Grand Final at Wembley.
"biggest ovation you'll ever hear for someone who's made 69" - I wouldn't bet on that Richie
gamergurl420 omfg lmao
I accidentally skipped to that part
Nice.
I was in detox/rehab and watching on tv. It was awesome.
Randomly came across this comment but thought I’d say I hope you’re recovered and doing well now mate! The battle is tough
@@dennym6270 Thanks mate. It's been a long journey and I'm doing ok. 🙂
Goosebumps
steve waugh's last test was against India right?
Yep it was in 2004 in Sydney
Coming in at 3/56 and scoring a 100 late in the day- the iceman at his finest
Cricket Australia,
Clear the facts. Steve Waugh final innings came against India at SCG , in January '04 . He scored 80 as his last.
Yeah but this was the defining moment of his late career. Everyone thought he might be getting binned after this Test, and he came out with a ton on his home ground. The moment was special
My favourite
Any kids born after 2005, watch this it's test cricket without social media and t20😂😂😂
What a classy innings
The legend
Cricket at its best.
great player praise the Lord almighty
miss u tony graig
❤❤❤❤u sir
We were there!
My brother gave me his ticket to that day. ....
i think his last test match was against India,I am pretty sure
rokr was his last in Australia
❤❤❤❤❤💙💙💙💙💙
Fighter
Against India was last...please admin change the title
He had a world record of winning 16 tests matches in a row. His name should have been steel waugh not Steve waugh.
How is this a farewell?
I know. Not his last test.
Leeroy C it was in Australia
indian subcontinent people divided by border. United by Australian Cricket team.
Queensland,terminal by future,September 2023😂
Mark Nicholas ruins a good moment once again
lol he's a right nob.
as far as leadership i think he's number 1. ricky more skillful. but i would go into battle with steve without thought.
& sehwag went for his triple hundred before lunch vs SL
no one cares
Yeah that's true too ..just a thought Mr Burns
Boring to the eye, now Ricky was solendor to watch
Cricket 4 Americans my arse

Raghu Nath -- Stupidest argument one can give especially in the above mentioned innings he came in at 3/56 and took the Aussies to safety!!
