Mark Waugh is one of the most successful and influential cricketers in the all-conquering Australian cricket team. He has been a regular in the team for over ten years and is well-known and respected as a talented and tough character the world over. He was also found guilty of accepting money from an Indian bookmaker during a 1994 tour of Sri Lanka. This is the inspiring story of a young boy from Panania who, along with his twin brother, grew up to become one of the world's great cricketers. Mark Edward Waugh was born in 1965 - four minutes after his brother Steve. The tendency to hang back and see how things worked obviously wasn't a one off - he waited five years to join Steve in an Australian test team. But this was one younger brother who was never going to be content hanging back in his brother's shadow for too long. Once he donned the "Baggy Green" Mark proved he was among the world's most gifted batsmen when he became the first player to score back-to-back centuries as well as to hit three centuries in a World Cup Tournament. This autobiography fleshes out the enigmatic picture created by the media and explores Mark's passion for the track, as well as the sledging, the betting scandals and how it felt to be called "the forgotten Waugh". The boy from Bankstown (who now has a Pavillion at the Bankstown Memorial Oval and a cricket net at the East Hills Boys School named after him) proves that no matter what, anything is possible.
