A tale of two Titans

Steve Waugh   Brian Lara

The captain of the all-conquering Australians, a tough-as-nails character; doesn't take no for an answer and is always on the look-out for a quick win. That, in a nutshell, is Steve 'Tugga' Waugh for you. But in the recent past, times have been tough for this cricketing knight. Questions were raised about his ability and he answered them in a manner that is unique to him.

Three years ago, Brian Lara, the batsman with the highest score in both Test and first-class cricket resigned from captaincy and took a break from the game, because the West Indies' decline had scarred him, mentally. Now, he is back at the helm, and determined to right the wrongs. He is on a personal agenda -- that of making West Indies cricket the best in the world again!
