Was Mark Waugh on his last chance when...
five knocks in a long career...how many failures??
* He scored an unbeaten century at Durban in 1994 to draw the match and save the series.
* Scored a century at Sabina Park in 1995 to support his brother's double-ton and win the series.
* Scored a century at Port Elizabeth in 1997 to almost single-handedly win the match and series.
* Scored an unbeaten century in last innings at Adelaide in 1998 to save the test and win the series.
* Scored a century in the second innings at Karachi in 1998 to ensure Australia couldn't lose. The pitch was flat, but take out his innings and Pakistan would most likely have drawn the series.
Mark Waugh can be accused of underperforming for most of his Test career. But he can't be accused of failing to score runs under pressure.
When he did perform it was often when Australia really needed him to.
Cheers.
