The retirement of Steve Waugh from test cricket will mark the end of one the most outstanding contributions to Australian sport we have had the good fortune to witness.
As a cricket player Steve Waugh’s career successes speak for themselves; the most capped player in cricketing history, second highest all time run scorer, and second on the all time list of century makers.
It is not just his successes on the sporting field however that impress. Steve Waugh has supported cricket both on and off the field.
As a patron for Junior Cricket in the ACT I know that there are many young players out there now who have taken up the sport due to the inspiration provided by role models like Steve Waugh.
In his retirement perhaps he will have the pleasure of seeing a young player he once inspired go on to captain Australia.
I wish Steve and his family all the best for the future.
