Records
Steve Waugh's record speaks for itself: 168 Test matches, 10,927 runs, 32 centuries, and a captaincy record that remains the benchmark for leadership. He led Australia to 41 Test victories, a winning percentage of 72%, the best in history at the time. His 16 consecutive Test wins as captain is a feat that has never been matched. Beyond the numbers, Waugh's ability to perform under pressure, such as his century in his final innings, cemented his reputation as one of the game's greats.
