Victory in cricket's World Cup, with "No Regrets" (4/5 people found this helpful)
This is a fascinating account of the Australian cricket team's journey from the silver medal podium at the Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur to its ultimate destination, the winner's balcony at Lord's, holding aloft the World Cup. Steve Waugh gives us an intriguing insight into the passion and dedication of himself as the leader of this highly successful cricket team whose motto became "No Regrets". Those who followed the World Cup series will recognise the rising tensions as the stakes rose sharply after the team's initial rocky start, to the point where, quite early on, the loss of the next match was a one-way ticket home for the Aussies. Throughout the series, Steve Waugh displays a quiet confidence in himself and his team, inspiring them to give their all to each game so that they would have no regrets that they had not done their best. He reveals the overriding feeling of pride in representing his country; a spark ignited during the team's participation at the Commonwealth Games with their fellow amateur athletes. This was to become the flame which fanned the Aussies' ultimate success at Lord's. Steve Waugh's strengths as a dedicated, compassionate and inspirational captain shine though, as do his own personal cricketing talents and ability to lead from the front. This book is more than just an account of a couple of cricket matches; it reveals the inner workings of a formidable team of talented and successful cricketers, and the way they were nurtured, inspired and motivated by their captain to achieve their ultimate goal. With no regrets.
