Waugh's Aussies make it sweet sixteen
March 3, 2001
It was a day Sourav Ganguly would love to forget and Steve Waugh would remember for a long time to come. While Waugh led the rampaging Aussies to a crushing ten wicket victory over India in the first Test at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai in under three days, his counterpart could contribute little in terms of captaincy and less with the bat. The contrast in styles of leadership and indeed approach and ability were glaring in the whitewash. Waugh juggled his bowlers well, giving them the fields they wanted and kept up the pressure incessantly. Ganguly in turn failed to rise to the occasion and could do little but watch helplessly even as the Australians took a 1-0 lead in the three Test series.
