Steve Waugh's skills are aplenty. But unlike Don Bradman, Pele, Magic Johnson and Jack Nicklaus, they have never set him apart from his contemporaries though tales of heroism about him abound.
His heart and his leadership more than match those of any sportsperson through the ages. And that is what makes him a special cricketer. Each time he steps on to the playing field you know, without doubt, he will give it his 100 per cent.

But somewhere, somehow, things went astray. Lara's love for the game wavered and he often found himself wondering about his future.
