Steve Waugh captained Australia to unparalleled success, earning 168 Test caps along the way.
When it comes to talking Test batting there are few better experts and so it proved when we invited "Tugger" into the The Zone during last summer's Ashes series.
Waugh, who was joined by a fellow legend of the game in Ricky Ponting, reflected on how competitive yard cricket with his brothers paved the way for a supreme international career in which he scored nearly 11,000 Test runs and captained Australia to Cricket World Cup success.

the respect Ponting has for Steve Waugh, being a top legend giving his senior and hero as a youngster, is amazing to see
I was just thinking that almost word for word - and then saw your comment!
So true. I wish everybody had same respect for their seniors in each and every field
-
Yeah... How true! Like what he said about Tugga batting for your life...
As the bowling side, who did you least want to see striding out to the wicket? Waugh & Ponting.
Wish we had a couple of them in the England side right now!
Is it
Ricky Ponting is a legend of the game in his own right and he's like an excited school boy around Steve Waugh and that shows just how good Waugh really was
Yes true, now a days all enjoy only t20 big hitting, they didn't understand the test batting and valuable advice given by great Steve waugh
Don’t tell Warney that
That’s because Ricky came into Steve’s team as a young man. Don’t get it twisted though, Ricky was a class above
Steve is an absolute legend. He faced great bowlers like Marshall, Ambrose, Walsh, Akram, Waquar, Donald, Pollock, Gough, Streak, Murali, Saqlain at their peak. Pitches are not flat track like these days. In 90's, there were almost 5/4 Aussie batsmen in top 10 test player list. Therefore, he had to perform every time. After Allan border, he is the only one had 50+ average in test.
And Hadlee.
PONTING ALSO
Ponting’s respect for Waugh is an absolute joy to behold.
Im glad I have his respect
Steve Waugh batted at 5 or 6 in his entire career. To have test average of more than 50 batting at 5 or 6 is phenomenal!
And also to score 32 hundreds playing at 5 was just phenomenal...
The advice that Steve gave between 10:46 to 11:10, it's just pure gold. You'll never get that piece of advice from anyone. Priceless.
I don't have lot of cricket playing experience but when I was playing as a teenager in the second or third team but still with/against fully grown adults, people over age 20. So that was already intimidating to go in there to bat. Advice like this would've helped me or any kid so much to calm my nerves. one time I was batting, second ball of the inning and my pants knot came lose. I had to take off my gloves and tie my pants. Honestly the most terrifying moment in my cricketing life ahahha. I felt like everyone was watching me tie my pants. I'd have felt less embarrassed if I just walked in there naked.
Psychological hack. He hacked his brain and body. And this was all before sport psychology was a thing. Just shows how far ahead he was.
the aussies were out there before the poms day 1 of the lords test a couple days ago. wonder if that was tuggas influence !
My dad has all the respect for Steve Waugh and called him the greatest Australia had. To me it was always Ricky Ponting. Brings back the memories of the banters that we used to have together.
Onya dad
Waugh brought the Windes pace attack in 1995 , the first win of Australia in Windes in decades...and also Australia getting number 1 test rankings with it
The Ice Man was the greatest
Damn, Steve Waugh knows what he's talking about.
@A M Perhaps. Doesn't mean Waugh isn't all over it. Mark Waugh is actually my favourite player. He may not be the best in the world, but I enjoy watching him so much. I reckon all of them would have a gem or two to tell younger players.
@@brassholio Exactly. He was so much pleasing to the eye! Roblinda2 (hope you know about this channel) recently uploaded a video showcasing how it would've looked if Mark batted as a leftie, and damn, it was the most satisfying video of my life.
As a Captain
Waugh >> Ponting
@@fahimahmed-lg9sh as a captain
Waugh >>> Everyone
Steve Waugh's century against South Africa to qualify for 1999 WC semi finals is one the BEST odi innings ever and propelled Australia as world beaters.
And his comment to gibbs that " you have just dropped the world cup" after dropping the sitter.
@@diagomachinery4308 Steve told later that he did not mention that to gibbs. it was someone's imagination really.
2 of the greatest batsmen ever. Steve Waugh what a ruthless and amazing captain.
Steve Waugh an institution of cricket in itself.
Two Aussie legends....love and respect from India sir
Australian royalty right there two of the best leaders captains of all time 336 tests between them wow 😳
And not many losses as captain either.👍👍
Today's cricket fans doesn't know how great Steve Waugh is
Love and respect from India
Well, from what I've seen, Indian fans even today greatly respect and admire Steve Waugh. He is an institution of cricket.
Shut up mayur d
So true. He holds the impeccable record of most victories by any Australian captain . He has best win percentage in captain's who have lead there national team in more than 30 test.
Agreed👍
@@Flagfalls u need to watch his double hundred in west indies to eclipse west indies and series defining century against South Africa and match winning century against South Africa in world cup 99 to understand greatness of Steve waugh.
Fascinating insight into Steve Waugh’s method and batsmenship, a total legend. I could listen to Steve and Punter talk Cricket for hours. Thanks for putting up this clip.
Steve and Mark Waugh and Ponting are my heros i watched for yrs.......In 1999 at the Adelaide oval..i was in the second row near the fence..and i seen steve waugh score 150 against india...just the greatest memory.
I have tremendous respect for both Steve Waugh and Ricky Pointing by Steve Irungu Jermaine
The iceman. Steve Waugh was a wall of a batsman that would demoralize bowling lineups. On the other hand you have Ricky Ponting, the greatest captain the games seen and probably in the top 2 greatest batsman ever. Legends of the game!
His autobiography is quite interesting. Rare to get an insight into such a self aware character who played the mental side of the game so well. He knows his ego is there, but slickly navigates it. A one of a kind character.
Iron man. Gave nothing away with a face like granite. Was as tough as he looked. People don't give him credit for being a good captain coz he had star players in his side..... but he had the ability of making players want to do well for him. A true leader.
Shahmi Anas the star player argument doesn’t work for Waugh as it does Ponting - Waugh’s was considerably weaker but made strong by him
@@JamesJones-od2ns I would credit Allan Border for really turning things around for Australia. Waugh was a product of Border's tough ruthless approach and he and Ponting continued the legacy very well. Still managing a team full of stars like that is an aspect of captaincy that has to be admired. Imagine dealing with someone like Warnie who was a quality player and a strong personality!
There are many facets to captaincy - in terms of tactics, Waugh was never the great tactician. But as a leader, a figurehead, a general in the trenches, cricket has never seen a captain like Steve Waugh.
@@WTBob2005 agree
Blobby 9 his tactics were underrated, he wasn’t all just toughness and leadership.
He is smarter than he lets on.
All these Australians are the nicest possible fellas off the field, but my goodness they used to play the game hard. I didn't think that ability wise they were THAT much better than the England players of the day, but their strength of mind and sheer determination to succeed was miles ahead, and it wasn't until 2005 that England finally were able to match them in that department after years and years of failure.
Allan Border: nice guys don't win games of cricket
I could listen to these two blokes forever. Great insight for every young player out there
Waugh was a great player. Brilliant hand eye coordination. Fastest hands through the ball I have seen of any batsmen of that era.
Thank you I try my best for the team.
Yep, him, Gilly and Lara fastest hands for sure in that time.
Need more of these. Love watching old players giving their piece on cricket
So proud that I grew up watching the careers of both Steve and Ricky. Two absolute legends of Australian cricket. What a great interview.👍👍🍻🍻
An absolute legend of the game. When Steve Waugh talks, you listen!
Look at the face of Ponting. Seems like his still learning from steave wagha and use it for his next test match lol
Well that the main batsman in side
Great player Steve Waugh , damn man he was a changed player when he returned he was mentally fit .
Been in a dark place for the last couple of days, but this - my two favourite Aus cricketers of all time - is just the pick-me-up I need. Thank y'all for uploading this.
Teehan
Always that one miserable type that needs to bring his/her depression and negativity on something as rudimentary as a cricket video.
Take it elsewhere, pal. It's boring.
Mentally fit and game changer all rounder man of crisis world class inning against south Africa 1999 world cup in super six stage unbelievable
Yes after Gibbsy got a little over excited.
Seen them all, from back in the early sixties. Huge admiration for all the greats. But there was always something special about Tugger, from when he assumed the Test captaincy. A grittiness that obviously rubbed off on his teammates. He IS my no.1 Test player.
Steve Waugh and Ricky Pointing two all time greats.
My cricket hero... So many legendary matches in Tests & World Cup... And the gunfighter aura everytime he went out to bat...
Ricky ponting transformed into a kid when watching Steve bat. It was so heartwarming to watch his respect for Steve. You miss those things nowadays.
Look at Ricky watching him so closely like he has a big game tomorrow and wants to learn everything he possibly can
Two legends..if you spend a day with them you will learn whole Art of batting
Back living in the Panania and Revesby suburbs 70's and 80's what days they were as a young kid. Always outside everyday playing sport in the street and backyard, your mum always having to call you in for dinner. Panania Public School and East Hills Boys High School. Great memories of the Waugh's. Their father Roger a great tennis player, use to run and coach at the Thompson St tennis courts and later owned the Revesby North Newspaper shop.
Legends both. Wouldn't find a harder more determined Batsman than Steve Waugh. No joke when he said he could for six hours.
One of the legend of Australian cricket....10927 test runs 32 hundreds batting at no. 5 just brilliant...magnificent...although he scored only 3 hundreds in ODI but gotta say one of that 3 hundred was one of the best hundred scored in 45 years of one day cricket...that hundred vs SA at Edgbaston in 1999 changed world cricket completely...it started invincible AUSSIES..in way world has to witness their complete dominance for 8 more years..99 - 2007..all that started with that century by Steve Waugh...
That’s nothing. For the first 5-6 years of his career he was an all rounder not a batter.
I didn't think a strong personality of ponting would be sort of subservient to Steve in the interview. Shows how much they all respected Steve Waugh.
Steve was the man behind dat invincible aussie team in the 90s and early 20s ...gr8 player
Steve Waugh is so smart. Dang and this guy has not been in commentary or even caoching?
This guy has tons to offer
To be honest he doesn't really have the personality for commentating a match, although he can talk talk about his own game. His in the Australian set up a bit though, he has an ancillary role in the team although I'm not sure what
Ponting has thickest muscular forearms ,no doubts those runouts were on point always .
I think that was sanath jayasurya...
Ramakrishnan Menon definitely agree his forearms the biggest and strongest I seen for a Bataman
@@WahidKhan-gb6zl thats were the strength to hit sixes come from..
I think Herschelle Gibbs had the strongest looking forearms
Not a cricket player, but if you think Ponting's forearms are muscular then you've never seen Mamdouh Elssbiay (Big Ramy).
Two legends Waugh and Ponting
I am a legend
Can watch this over and over,really good to see and hear the conversation,steve talks a lot more than i thought😀
You can here the awe in Punter's voice when Steve get on the back foot.
He was solid as a rock when he was in the batting crease.!! Never afraid of facing fearsome fast bowlers like Ambrose,Marshell, Walsh, Imran, Waquar, Wasim, Donald, D Malcolm & Gough. Brother Mark was stylish. But Steve was always on the top with his confidence than anybody in that strong Aussie batting order.
Used to hate these two back when they were playing and blasting every cricket team out of their way. But i respect them even more knowing what took them to become great cricketers and leaders. ❤
Ponting is behaving like an obedient learner which is amazing
Obviously ,
Since Steve Waugh debuted in Ashes 1989 till his retirement in 2004 , How many Ashes did England won ?
Answer : Zero
How many Ashes Series Pointing won in England - Zero
Not to mention under Pointing , They even lost Ashes at Home in Australia in 2010.
Steve Waugh is an absolute legend, The best Defensive wall at the crease,
The respect Ponting has for Steve Waugh, being a top legend giving his senior and hero as a youngster, is amazing to see
its the only time you would see Ponting being a ball boy lol
Both Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting demonstrate in spades the mental toughness and discipline necessary to make it at the top level.
Sky sports cricket is keeping us cricketers sane.
Good video. Steve Waugh had an incredible journey from a good player to a great player and epitomised the transition of Australian cricket, from Border to Taylor to Waugh.
A grande journey.
Border set the bench mark by winning the 1987 world cup and others really kept developing and made it better and better. Taylor had a chance to win the 96 world cup final but the lions roared beating India and Australia back to back.
steve waugh such a legend, humble guy too accepts his weakness
World Class captain and player 👌.
Two great of game of cricket love & respect from 🇮🇳🇮🇳
What a great interview, any budding batsmen out there.. this is gold!
Steve Waugh started as Iceman in crunch situations in 1987 World Cup , helping them win it .
Since his 1989 Ashes debut till his retirement, Australia didn’t lose an Ashes Test series .
After he retired Australia immediately lost the 2005 Ashes .
Waugh always played best when it mattered under pressure.
He psychologically destroyed England and South Africa during his era. And helped Australia got over its own scars (physical and psychological) of the West Indies
Growing up I supported Australia after India clearly remember Australia had their backs against the wall in 99 world cup they had to win every game in super six to reach the semis Steve Waugh led them brilliantly to win the coveted world cup... Champion cricketer one of the Goat's
Man a batsman to bat for life ? You know the answer. What a legend.
Allan Border!
Two great players! Really enjoyed listening to Steve Waugh!
Still remember his gun 120* against S.A in 99, absolute master of his craft was Steve Waugh.
Great video to watch for budding cricketers. Steve Waugh is really Steel Waugh. He was a tough nut to crack. What a player ! Cometh the hour Cometh the man. What an innings he played in that last league match against SA when the chips were down. Scored a brilliant 120.
Steve Waugh beats the opposition mentally even before facing the first ball. Just extremely tough character and a great leader on the cricket field. His winning mentality is insane.
DAMN, Nasser kept hitting the ball in the back to disturb them.
When Ricky speaks, i just checked my video speed.
hahahahaha! After all of these years of listening to him only now do I feel like I'm able to process most of what he's saying. Earlier, I wouldn't be able to pick up a word of what he said in post-match presentations.
@@minimalisthealth lol
Haha! Is it his accent or the speed of how he talks?
@@tomsieron149 Mostly his speed for me. I remember enjoying his post match presentations as he would literally not pause. The only accent I could not understand was Flintoff, and Bravo. I don't think any non-English speaking person can understand Freddie.
nobodyinparticula100 I’m Australian and I do not understand Freddie 90% of time - and he presents TV shows here quite funny. He’s great though
Good to see the man who himself had got 70 centuries and more than 25000 runs is admiring the masterclass... Just look at his curious face through
71 centuries and 27000+ runs
Steve Waugh - A batsmen who used to put a very heavy price tag on his wicket, definition of premium not like today's era of discount prices.
Its refreshing to see how humble our former greats are, and giving back to the game as well.
Technically one of the best ever! Brilliant to watch thank you!
I recall matches from 90s when Steve used to walk batting lower in the order and I used to say, now how to get this guy out ! Legend and Huge respect !
My favourite Steve Waugh❤
Love and respect from India.
Any word of praise is less. GOD very rarely makes people like him.
i love his clearly straight forward approach with no ;triggers; etc. He just plays the game
Goosebumps ...
So much to learn for if I was able to fulfill my dream of playing cricket.
I just want someone to look at me the way Ponting looks at Waugh
Class is permanent.
Love the background sound in nets
" Duhh duhh ttaaaaaaa"
That sound of ball hitting the bat in the background is stress-reliever during this lockdown/quarantine!
Second only to the mighty West Indians of the 80s as the greatest test side of all time
What a piece of masterclass from Legend!!👏👏👏
Pointing and Waugh are looking so dignified of the field. Can't believe these are same guys who would come hard at rest of the opponent players.
Great to listen two great aussie captains
They were the days,befor pay tv ruined it for millions of people,always liked the aussies,but then again i love cricket.
Please do keep these sorta discussions coming; people who love cricket would want these!!
Two greatest captain of Australia domination era make Australia to mighty Aussie ❤
Steve waugh for me is the best Australia captian of all time
He is the greatest Captain of all time.
Very interesting to hear Steve and Ricks thoughts. This was great!
What a video 👍. Both of the them are test legends. One more fact is that skills are permanent, they never leave you.
My goodness check that Win/loss record...unbelievable losing just 9 tests...
Now that was superb. Two legends of the game
I stopped watching cricket after Ricky Ponting retired. Now after about 2 decades, I am watching the T20 World Cup. Good to see Ponting in the commentary...
Tough as steel Mr.Steve Waugh. Great cricketer! Love from India! :)
Definitely see how Ricky got good
still remember in the batting lineup when all of them faltered then Steve stood up to the task. Always made an example to all
Australia was a good team before him but he turned them into winning machine. Real legend.
Two legends....
❤️🇬🇧👍
Steve ‘Ahhh look, I don’t really think about it’ Waugh haha... legend, was my favourite batsman back in his heyday!
Glad I was your favourite
