Wisden Cricketer of the Year

1989

Until Australia's 1989 tour of England when he scored his first Test century, his reputation mostly rested on a number of match-winning performances in One-day internationals. However, he matured into one of the finest batsmen in Test cricket and became only the second player in Test history to score 10,000 runs. In the 1990-91 season, playing for New South Wales against Western Australia, Waugh and his brother Mark Waugh established a first-class record fifth wicket partnership of 464 runs. In 1999, he became the first player to complete a century against all seven Test-playing countries.
