The cap has long been a symbol of national pride in Australia, and was described by the chief executive of the MCC as the “most famous cricket cap in the world”.

As Australian captain from 1997 to 2004, he led Australia to fifteen of their record sixteen consecutive Test wins, and to victory in the 1999 Cricket World Cup. Waugh is considered the most successful Test captain in cricket history, with 41 matches won and only 9 matches lost with a winning ratio of 72%.
“The key to handling pressure is to enjoy it when you’re confronted with it rather than worry about it too much” Steve Waugh
