Dear sir, Steve waugh is one of the greatest captain ever witness in the history of test cricket.He succeessfully lead Australia in to 16 consecutive win in test cricket.This is also incredible thing in the history of game.His behaviour in and out of the game is excellent.Apart from this he is also a great humanitarian.He provided lot of funds to orphonage.
The announcement of Ricky Ponting as Steve Waugh's successor is on expected lines. But the early announcement shows the professional way in which Cricket Australia works - avoiding unnecessary speculation - thereby not giving a chance to the press to create unwanted divides within the team.
Hope the Indian Board takes a leaf out of CA's book.
