A stunning New World record! 16 consecutive tests, 16 consecutive victories.
During 16 incredible months from October 14, 1999 to March 1, 2001, Steve Waugh’s cricket juggernaut rolled from one victory to the next – breaking old records, and setting new ones.
As captain, Steve Waugh provided direction and as a batsman he provided the middle-order firepower. The Australian team firstly matches the West Indies all time record of 12 consecutive victories and then they motored past - finally finishing with 16 – achieved against 6 different nations in 3 vastly differing continents.
Steve Australia 40th test captain was man of the match in three of these games and was crowned Garfield Sobers Award for Outstanding Batsman of the series, where the side routed the West Indies 5-0 in Australia. An impressive contribution.
11 classic photographs of Steve were taken during this streak with two of these atmospheric black and white studies. All accompany a full statistical analysis of the 16 test triumphs.
