Mark Waugh

Bat-and-Ball Sports

Mark Waugh, born on 2 June 1965, is an Australian cricket commentator and former international cricketer who represented Australia in Test matches from early 1991 to late 2002, after making his One Day International debut in 1988. He was part of the Australian team that won the 1999 Cricket World Cup, and his three centuries at the 1996 Cricket World Cup made him the first batsman to achieve that feat, a record later equalled by the Indian captain Sourav Ganguly at the 2003 tournament. He is a few minutes younger than his twin brother Steve Waugh. His brother Dean Waugh also played first-class and List A cricket for New South Wales. He was a national selector until August 2018, when he left that role for television commentary with Fox Sports.
