From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Waugh, AM (born June 2, 1965 in Canterbury, New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer, who represented Australia in Test matches from early 1991 to late 2002, and made his One-Day International debut in 1988. His nickname is "Junior" as he is younger than his brother Steve by a few minutes.

Waugh was primarily a right-handed batsman, batting in the No.4 position in Test matches, and was also a handy medium pace bowler, who changed to an off-spin bowler after back injuries restricted him. He is regarded as one of the best slip fielders ever to play cricket, and holds the world record for most Test catches by a non-wicketkeeper.
