Wise words from Waugh
BRISBANE, Australia. Feb 9: Senior player Steve Waugh had some words of advice for the younger members of Australia's World Cup cricket squad as they left here Friday for India and this month's 12-nation tournament, reports AFP
"Getting used to the heat and not whlngelng, I guess that’s the key to the subcon tinent," 30-year-old Waugh said after the side completed a three day training camp in sweltering Brisbane
Take things as they come and don't get offside with little things that are going to crop up over there — people wanting autographs and pho tos and people hassling you In the hotels and stuff like that.
There 11 be a lot of media so you have to stay cool under pressure.
"But sometimes It s a lot easier to play overseas. Just to get away from everything, ack home there s a lot of commitments, people want ing your time
"You can relax and get away from it all. In a way I find It easier to play away from home but the downside Is you're away from your family"
Waugh and fast bowler Craig McDermott, 30. are the sole survivors from Australia s previous World Cup triumph In 1987 — also In India.
'i s definitely an exciting ^>l^c. different to any other
place In the world you play cricket " he said
The atmosphere's differ ent. its a lot noisier, the grounds aren't that flash, but there is something different about games over there.
The aura s different, the crowds are so fanatical, and it s good to play in front of
crowds like that. The smell, the heat, everything s so unique, that's probably the best part of it."
The gritty all-rounder won the international crlcketers-of the-year award after a stunning summer season here against Pakistan and Srl Lanka.
With stalwart David Boon a few weeks retired, Waugh is now Australia's senior player and only five of the 14-man squad have played In a World
Cup.
Waugh is excited about the concept of quarterfinals adding a new dimension to the World Cup
I think it makes it more exciting having quarterfinals, playing under pressure and knowing if you lose you re out. he said.
"It gives a bit more edge to the competition and 1 think the best sides will come through
One day cricket can become a bit repetitious so it's good to have a challenge in there.
A knockout competition makes it more competitive and a bit more pressure which I like In a game of cricket.
"Last time we went over there as underdogs and not a great cricket side.
"We probably worked a lot harder than any other side and it certainly paid off.
"This time we're a much better side but it's no guarantee you're going to play any better than last time.
Training in Brisbane in the heat might just give us the edge.
"One-day cricket is harder to predict these days, most sides are so even, they've got the same level of fitness and they know how the other
'"Fielding will probably be the key to the tournament. I see us, South Africa and India as the best fielding sides so it may come down to that.
Just in case the players get bored, they've brought along portable casinos. 50 videos, some tennis reckets. golf putters and a music machine.
