Mark Waugh

Three centuries in a single World Cup, in 1996, is one of the high points Mark Waugh can talk about from the middle. He made his name as a batsman and fielder with New South Wales before stepping up for Australia, and his first Test, at Adelaide against England in 1991, brought a century. In the 2000-01 one-day series he scored 173. Book him as a sports speaker for a club function, a sporting lunch or a corporate event with cricket fans in the audience, and expect the stories behind those scorecards. He calls New South Wales home.
