Sometimes i feel so lucky that i have born in a right era. I saw cricket at its best, i saw tennis at its best , i saw football at its best. Very lucky generation i must say.
Still I remember those days whenever test cricket happened in Australia wakeup early in the morning and mute the volume, when whole family was sleeping..
Miss those days. Around November, December and January. Best thing about winter mornings was to wake up, stay under the blanket and switch the telly on to catch this. Good old days indeed!
Steve Waugh stood right behind me on a queue at Heathrow Airport. I was speechless. He was with his wife and three kids. It took me a few mins to gather courage and shake hands with him. Such a great moment!
I remember my father saying while watching this, "Everyone earns money throughout their life but if you can earn that much amount of Respect in your life I would be very proud of you"
You can still watch these matches with completely different team while you work as a slave for someone and have to get ready early in these cold december mornings.
I remember watching it on TV back when I was small. I loved Australian team more than Indian team. Very few people get such ovation in life!! Steve was a real fighter!!
@@trickshotsandfunwitharaiz4010 Listen buddy, going by your comments on the previous videos about Kumble and Tendulkar, it's clear that you don't think well of these guys, but you have to admit one thing that *It doesn't matter what you think*
@Narendra Balapa Kumble is the third highest wicket taker of all time above the likes of McGrath, Pollock, Akram and Steyn and highest Indian wicket taker by a margin and you 'think' he is okayish. Don't know why people like you even bother to comment man.

@@SuperShitforbrains I don't remember the matches of 1995 because I m only 1 year old That time 😂🤣 I have followed cricket since 2001 ind vs aus series From then upto 2011 wc Cricket is Awesome but after that I have lost interest in cricket Nd now I don't watch cricket because all my fav childhood players were retired 😭😭
Those were the Days when India was becoming a strong team under Ganguly . India was able to Draw Test series and retained Border Gavaskar Trophy . Those good days of childhood when there was no t20 ,ipl . Those days when Legends like Sachin ,Sourav,Dravid ,Mcgrath,Lee,Waugh Played
And as much good that social media has brought including sharing such videos, there was far less toxicity among fanbases(being comfortable behind a screen with a voice brings out the worst in some), not to mention the anticipation of most series and matches used to be much bigger..Sure that was a time of legends but I have no doubt had they played today,all rare and small failures of those great players would be constantly scrutinized and mocked by rival fanbases..Like how they do for the best players of today
Those were the days Australia set the world record for test wins and yes all the teams especially India made Australia work even harder for test glory now it belongs to India enjoy!!!
When Steve came out to bat for the last time, remember seeing a fan holding a placard: Cometh the hour, cometh the man. What a game, what a series! Woke up at 4am to watch them. One for the ages.

Yes Dhoni is the greatest mind the game will ever see, but condition outside the field is another crucial factor. Think about pre Ganguly era or pre Steve era. You will find it for sure.
I think people should check stats of test match wining percentage.. Dhoni didn't stand in front of Steve Waugh.. He rule in world cricket in test.. By batting and captaincy..
@@pradeepnihalani7629 correct Sir- Steve Waugh has the best winning percentage with nearly 72% Followed by Ponting on 63%...........Dhoni's not on the first page
Steve Waugh - An outstanding player and a iconic personality . It was very happy to see Legend caught by another Legend in the bowling of a Legendary bowler. Those were the very auspicious and golden days of Cricket when we see Sachin , Sourav, Dravid, Laxman, Kumble, Lee, Mecgrath, Warne, Steve Waugh playing together. I think I am very fortunate that I got the pleasure to watch and enjoy the real art of Cricket by all Legendary Players. Those days we have no T20,no ipl, no ,BBL and no any other league, but it's very admirable for all of us. Now , there is a lack of temperament and patience in Cricketers. Really miss those golden days of Cricket and miss quality also.
The last inning of Steve, I still remember that epic inning. I have not seen such atmosphere in any other match. It was all about Steve Waugh. His last match, his last inning, the last session. Crowd was going mad watching their favourite hero batted like a true legend which he was during all his cricketing career. They all were showing Steve's famous red handkerchief for all the five days. ❤️ This is the only time in my life I was praying for India to draw the match and not to win the match as my fav player and Idol Stave Waugh was battling for his team to save the deciding match and the series for the last time. Love you Steve to the infinity. ❤️
It’s amazing how close the match ended up despite India hitting 700 in their first innings. If Waugh stayed there longer and won it, wow, could you imagine how much louder the crowd would’ve got
"You were in your nappies when I played my first test match" "I got a bit of a laugh from VVS Laxman when I said that" - Steve Waugh The day Partiv Patel understood only legends get that kind of standing ovation from a housefull crowd!!
We are so thankful to our 90s that we born in and saw that kind of legends like steve waugh, adam gilchrist, brian lara, matthew hayden, brett lee, graeme smith, shaun pollock, andrew flintoff, and many more...
Still popular in Australia, but England finally woke up and realized that even if they bring in United Nations XI they will still suck at cricket, they gave up.
Steve Waugh will always be one of my greatest heros. I did get the chance to bowl to him a few times. When I was younger than that, he let me carry his kit to the team bus after the end of a Test match.
He was one batsman who played better when the opposition tried to get under their skin. The English regretted every time they sledged him. Whatta playa
@@MiseryDesigns I don't think so. They won the 2015 wc under him. But after he stepped down it went downhill. I am a huge fan of Steve smith. But he didn't look like the Australian captains before him
For Australia, Steve Waugh was always there... It was like cometh the hour, cometh the man... True legend, one of the greatest the game has ever produced.

Moreover , Your simple looks and your calm nature have always admired me.....you are and will be always alive and cherish in my book. Thanks you Sir , Love and respect from Karachi, Pakistan.
as an Englishman Steve Waugh and that incredible team pretty much destroyed all my childhood cricketing dreams. Incredibly tough, competitive winner. They don't make them like that anymore.
*Respect for Steve Waugh* *Cricket will always remember you Sir.* *Your Name will be written in Gold in the annals of Cricket History as a thorough Gentleman and a true Warrior*
Steve as a batsman was late middle order bat and bowler as 2nd change. Batting skills also not unique or classy . Bowling too , not much pace, relied on swing. Fielding too average. BUT...70k+ people standing up and applauding , including opponents. 50 test match 50s. Played for almost 20yrs. Man was a gutsy player, if he made up his mind, he will see it through, no matter the odds. Determined to the core . Very strong character. As a captain , results were evident, 16 continuous test victories, WC too. His team in early 2000 was the strongest ever, top quality batsmen, top quality bowlers, top fielding and he maintained that team for years. Deserves all the applause . Unlike Ricky ponting and Steve Smith, steve Waugh didn't resort to cheating , playing the game in the right spirit. Apart from all this, he did good charity work in kolkatta and Mumbai slums.
I saw that entire match on television. I have seen some of the legendary player's farewell but I think this was the all-time greatest farewell in the history of the game. Though I'm an Indian I can remember I was preying for Steve to play well in that match & what a fighting knock it was. He displayed in that one inning what he had done all his life, saving Australia at the crunch time. With each and every shot I was jumping and I was actually getting late for work in the morning but I seat back and watched the entire game and the presentation. There were tears in my eyes during the entire inning and in the end, I was a proud Steve Waugh fan. ❤️❤️❤️ I wish to meet this legend once in my life.
He was a player who just didn’t let go. It was hard as an Indian fan to watch him not knowing whether to hate him or wonder how he was doing it. Even his last innings was such a torment. 👏👏👏 Champion. ❤️
One of the greatest allrounder of all times the grit, determination and strike with which he stood defending his country at all times and pulling victories from defeats will always remain archived in our minds . Steve was at times on field Unbeatable .
Those magical words of someone in the crowd just as Steve left the ground one last time " Thanks Mate ". My best childhood years were spent in awe watching the Waugh brothers guide and navigate the Aussie teams through victory after victory with sublime batting supremacy. You guys epitomized the " Golden Years of Cricket ". Thanks mates.
I'm watching this and crying because i can relate to the emotion the Australian crowd is feeling. It's the same emotion I'm going to feel when MS Dhoni walks in for the last game of his career. A nation will weep together.
this is my emotional video of all times whenever I watched this video of retirement of Steve waugh, I started to weep. because he was my favourite. hats off for him.
What an amazing life he lived 👏 An incredible batsmen and the best of captains. Such longevity at the highest level averaging over 50 in test cricket. Such powerful mental toughness and determination. I have been blessed to grow up watching him. Thanks Steven

My best childhood years were spent in awe watching the Waugh brothers guide and navigate the Aussie teams through victory after victory with sublime batting supremacy. You guys epitomized the " Golden Years of Cricket ". Thanks mates.
1 for the ages, Steve
One of my favourite players. Incredible captain and such determination
I'm watching this and crying because i can relate to the emotion the Australian crowd is feeling. It's the same emotion I'm going to feel when MS Dhoni walks in for the last game of his career. A nation will weep together.
I think Dhoni has already retired... And der is very less chance he playing for India again..
this is my emotional video of all times whenever I watched this video of retirement of Steve waugh, I started to weep. because he was my favourite. hats off for him.
The great Steve Waugh, my favourite
Steve had stolen many hearts all over the world not only as captain but also an inspirer. Humble person, great human.
FYI ...I am an Indian and Steve Waugh is my all time best captain
What an amazing life he lived 👏 An incredible batsmen and the best of captains. Such longevity at the highest level averaging over 50 in test cricket. Such powerful mental toughness and determination. I have been blessed to grow up watching him. Thanks Steven
