Revision as of 01:37, 25 July 2006
Steve Waugh is the second highest run-getter in Test cricket history.
The opening blurb is incorrect. Waugh was Australia's ODI captain from 1997 until 2002, and its test captain from 1999 until 2004.
- Well spotted. The cool thing about wiki's is that when you see something is wrong you can go ahead and fix it yourself, and it's no harder than writing this comment on the talk page. So go ahead and be bold. I will check back in a few days and change it if you haven't already. Steven jones 09:57, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- I wasn't sure about the exact dates, just the years. I'll look them up and make the change.
Most books
The latest edit reads
- Steve Waugh also has the record for the most books published by a cricketer with his ever expanding series of tour diaries and thoughts providing an insight into the mind of Steve Waugh.
Is there any data to back it up that Waugh is the most prolific cricketer-writer or is it just an opinion ? Tintin 06:14, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I am going for a politcally correct version. If the author or anyone else is certain about it, feel free to revert.
- It is possible that SRW has written most books for an active cricketer, but IMHO when there are people like Jack Fingleton, it would be difficult to claim the record for a cricketer. Tintin 08:09, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- As far as I am aware Stephen Waugh only has three children.
Gay rights
I removed a sentence which was just added:
- Steve is also an activist for gay rights
I was unable to verify this information, and it seemed a bit out of place. Does anyone know of a citation or source for this? --Hansnesse 06:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- Judging by his other edit [1] it's vandalism and should be dealt with accordingly. -- Ian ≡ talk 07:36, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Can't we get an actual picture of Waugh?
