The Steve Waugh era

[Pevers-Legend]

did he ever even play for the red backs, i know he moved to SA because he married a woman from there.

i do remember Taylor commenting once that he always rated Hooper as one of the modt talented players that he ever played against on ability

Played grade cricket and I thought he played one or two shield games for us and stank it up like Andy Flower did.

Personally, I look back on it with great regret. Regret that I took it all for granted. I was too young to appreciate the hard work that went in to building that side (and Taylor's), as a teenager of the 90s, I arrogantly assumed Australia had a right to be the best.

I'm ashamed to say that until the turn of the century used to barrack for the underdog, ie whoever was playing Australia. Including England.

Met Waugh at an after party at the Olympics in London a few months ago, asked him where his little red cloth was but he couldnt string a sentence together. Was disappointed.

In the SCG museum IIRC

It has come to an end today.
