5 Australian cricketers Indians love to love

3) Mark Waugh

The twins before they became legends

Mark and Steve Waugh, twins, cricketers, legends. Both had very unique styles. While Steve was more of a leader, more aggressive, Mark was one who took the backseat, and people enjoyed his calm style at the crease.

He was definitely one of the most elegant players to ever wield a bat, heavily depending on his wrists to dispatch the ball to various parts of the ground. That style endeared him to the masses, as they saw shades of Mohammad Azharuddin’s batting in his. He was also an absolutely terrific slip fielder as well and a delight to watch.

In hindsight, it might be the contrast between the two brothers and their styles that made Mark appeal to the masses.
