Steve puts Aus on track

AFP, Sydney
Steve Waugh scored an unforgettable century to celebrate becoming only the third player to score 10,000 Test runs with an emotional innings in the fifth Ashes Test against England here on Friday.
Willed on for every scoring shot by a doting 41,000 crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground, the 37-year-old Australian skipper joined compatriot Allan Border (11,174) and India's Sunil Gavaskar (10,122) along the way in the exclusive 10,000-club.
Waugh produced one of his greatest innings in his recordequalling 156th Test as if it was scripted, coming in to bat to thunderous acclaim with Australia in strife at 56 for three and taking on the English bowlers with typical pugnaciousness.
With every sweetly-struck boundary, the determined 'Ice Man' of cricket, made a mockery of speculation about his immediate playing future with selectors indicating that he will not be guaranteed selection beyond the Sydney Test.
When Waugh reached 69 with a cut off spinner Richard Dawson for four he raised his 10,000th Test run
to be greeted with sustained applause and cheers.
In a fairytale finish to the second day Waugh stroked Dawson for his 18th boundary off the last ball to bring up his 29th Test century.
At the close of a momentous day, Waugh was unbeaten on 102 with Adam Gilchrist not out 45 and Australia 237 for five, trailing England's first innings of 362 by 125 runs.
"It doesn't get any better than that, scoring 100 off the last ball in front of your home crowd," Waugh said.
"Playing the way I did today it was one of those occasions as a sportsperson talking of being in the zone, I think it only happens a couple of times in your career.
"For me it felt very much like my first Test hundred at Headingley (Leeds 1989), just the way I saw the ball and everything hit the gap, you just wish you have more days like that than the bad days... it was almost a perfect day."
For a man said to be past it and not meriting a place among the premier six batsmen in Australia, Waugh revelled in proving there was plenty of life left in the old dog.
Waugh said he felt compelled to play the final shot to reach his pulsating hundred.
In contrast Waugh's teammates,
with the exception of Gilchrist, struggled against the English attack with several out to poorly-executed shots.
Caddick rose to the challenge after England, down 4-0 in the series, were dismissed for a competitive total in the middle session.
The 34-year-old paceman sent Matthew Hayden (15), Ricky Ponting (7) and Justin Langer (25) on their way to reduce the Australians to 56 for three.
The mini-collapse provided Waugh with the perfect stage to showcase his trademark fighting skills.
Caddick produced his best bowling performance of the tour to have 3-29 off seven overs at tea, but by the end of the way he had been mauled by Waugh and Gilchrist, finishing with 3-88 off 16 overs.
Caddick trapped the dangerous Hayden plumb in front with a full toss in his third over and in his next over he got Ponting for seven, edging to Alec Stewart.
Australia, looking for only the second 5-0 Ashes series clean sweep in history, lost Langer, who top-edged Caddick to Matthew Hoggard at deep backward square leg for 25.

long hop finding Caddick at wide mid-on to end a 90-run partnership with Waugh for the fourth wicket.
Martin Love, who had a golden scoring streak of 519 runs in four innings against England on tour for once out, went for a duck to a poor shot, sparing a catch to Marcus Trescothick at slip to give Harmison his second wicket.
England lost their last five wickets for 30 to finish with their second-highest total of the series behind their 387 in the second innings in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne.
Stewart became England's third-highest scorer in Test cricket with his knock of 71.
The team elder was bowled off his pads by Andy Bichel nearing lunch. He batted for 117 minutes, facing 86 balls and hitting 15 boundaries.
