Mark Waugh The Biography by James Knight (Hardcover) Mark Edward Waugh was born in 1965 - four minutes after his brother Steve. The tendency to hang back and see how things worked obviously wasn't a one off - he waited five years to join Steve in an Australian Test team. But this was one younger brother who was never going to be content to be cast in his sibling's shadow for too long. Once he donned the Baggy Green, Mark proved he was among the world's most gifted batsmen when he became the first player to score back-to-back Test hundreds, as well as the first to hit three centuries in a World Cup tournament. Aside from his achievements on the pitch, this biography fleshes out the enigmatic picture of Mark created by the media and explores his passion for the track, as well as the sledg.

Product Information

This is the inspiring story of a young boy from Panania who, along with his twin brother, grew up to become one of the world's great cricketers. Mark Edward Waugh was born in 1965 four minutes after his brother Steve. The tendency to hang back and see how things worked obviously wasn't a one-off; he waited five years to join Steve in an Australian test team. But this was one younger brother who was never going to be content hanging back in his brother's shadow for long. Once he donned the Baggy Green, Mark proved he was amongst the world's most gifted batsmen when he became the first player to score back-to-back centuries as well as to hit three centuries in a World Cup tournament. Mark Waugh: The Biography fleshes out the enigmatic picture created by the media and explores Waugh's passion for the track, as well as the sledging, the betting scandals and how it felt to be called the forgotten Waugh . The boy from Bankstown (who now has a Pavilion at the Bankstown Memorial Oval and a cricket net at the East Hills Boys' School named after him) proves that anything is possible, no matter what.
