Waugh open to bigger role

AFP, Melbourne
Steve Waugh said Sunday he was ready for any active role that might come his way as world cricket pitches in to help the massive Asian tsunami relief appeal effort here on Monday.
Waugh is the coach and manger of the Ilest of the World XI against an Aslan XI before a Melbourne Cricket Ground sell-out crowd, but he is prepared for active duty in the friendly gathering of the cricket world's elite.
"It’s pretty cosy being the coach -- it'sa nice title to have on my CV, but in reality I don't think I'm going to be doing too much .coaching, nor do these guys need much coaching," Waugh said here Sunday.
"I just see my role as trying to help promote the game, if I can do something positive then I'm here to
help.
"If they struggle for fieldsmen, I might get out there... Ricky (World XI captain Ponting) has already warned me there might be a couple of injuries out there.
"It's pretty relaxed — it's not about the result.- it's about the show that’s going to be put on."
Waugh, who along with New Zealand great Richard Hadlee chose the World side, ended his celebrated international career at the Sydney Test last January against India.
Waugh said since then he has been enjoying full-time family life, Australian of the year duties, working on a motivational DVD for school students, his long-standing charity work in India and pumping out 140,000 words so far for his autobiography.
"I haven’t picked up a bat, haven't watched a game live and haven't really been to agame," he said.
"Your priorities are different -you realise that the world is bigger
thanwhatyouthinkitis.
"You become pretty selfabsorbed when you’re playing the game.
"When you retire you think there is another world out there — I love cricket, but I don't miss it."
But he admitted there will be a buzz when he strides out on to the MCG again on Monday.
"I’m just rapt, really, to be thought of that I could have some sort of role in this — as a player, you mightn't have got the opportunity," hesaid.
"As an ex-player, I feel lucky that I'm here, I feel like a bit of a freeloader, I've just dipped in with the coach's position.
"In some ways, it was strange flying down here today, thinking I'm going to a cricket match, but I'm not playing - it's a bit funny.
“ For me, I will be happy to set foot (on the ground)... it’s tabled turf."
