Junior..I don't think I have glued myself to the TV screen to watch any batsman but for Mark Waugh, pure artistry in motion, you will be fooling yourself if you will judge him by a test batting average of 40 odd, he was much more than that, incredible slip fielder, the best by a long mile, among the twins he was the natural, it was like cricket came to him and urged rather him sweating out to learn and play cricket.

His average was lower than his brother's because he never played for not outs....he just went for his shots and if he got out he got out....Steve meanwhile would scramble through for singles to put the #11 on strike

Could not hv put it better. I felt like he had a stick in his hand. Wristy. And an amazing slips fielder amd catcher in general. 😊

Two of the world’s best batsmen of their generation. And somewhat handy part time spinners.

Growing up in India, Mark Waugh was my favorite batsman after Sachin. His elegance, his catching and his leg side play was something that every budding cricketer wanted to copy. He may not be fast like Jonty and Punter but his catching was the BEST in my opinion. What a cricketer!

I could watch Jr bat all day. Such lazy elegance. Jr and Damien Martin, two of my favorites growing up

Thanks Fox for hosting such a beautiful show and bringing out the best of the best of cricket Mark Waugh , one of my all time fav cricketer the most stylish batsman cricket has ever produced loved the show .

Steve Smith beside his batting has so much developed his personality as well... He is surely among the top five batsmen of all time...

This is golden. Very very valuable insights.

Steve Smith is the best modern day test match batsman with more flair than any player. Sir Steve Smith🇦🇺

I love steve smith the perfect cricketer in the world batsman fielder bowler captain and he is gem

really enjoyed their conversation. grew up watching the waugh bros, and now smithy is doing his work.

Such a great face to face between two of the greatest of all time....the only diff is that Junior was "Smooth as silk" with his flcks and glances with the bat while Smudge is more unorthodox...This video should be on all batting coach's playlist for their students!

❤️🙏 🇱🇰 love king smith

Mark Waugh and steve Smith, that's the best video ,thanks fox cricket ❤

Excellent player Mark Waugh ❤❤❤

Mark Waugh is one of the most elegant batsmen and one of the best slip fielders during my childhood...Good to see him chatting with Smith. Smith, arguably the best Test batsman in the current generation (and thus, the best in my humble opinion), with his great fielding overshadowed by his batting...great to listen to him about his balance, posture during batting, fielding. Great conversation.

I can watch this man speak play whatever FOREVER, i just love him so fuckin much😭 Cant wait for the 33rd ton Smithy go Well❤️❤️❤️❤️

Always top cricket content on Fox cricket. Loved it

Mark Taylor was the best slip fielder in that great Australian team of the 1990's, especially at 1st slip, yet Mark Waugh was the best fielder in that team, anywhere on the field. Although he's remembered for mainly fielding in the slips, he was great at bat/pad, cover point, mid on, mid off, gulley etc.

Mark Waugh must be the reason the current Australian side are one of the best fielders in the world. There's only so much coaching that one can do to bring a side up - the rest starts from childhood with the understanding and belief of what is possible.

This deep conversation between two greats of the sport is fantastic. Mark Waugh is the most elegant and graceful batsman I've ever seen - he and Damien Martyn vie for the best Australian cover drive to me. However, I think Smith is the better overall batsman. His temperament and discipline remind me more of Steve Waugh, who while not as beautiful, was someone who valued his wicket so well. I think Smith also has more scoring zones. For his greatness off the pads, I don't recall Mark Waugh being a big scorer via the pull or hook.

Slazenger was always how I remember junior....Steve changed bats a bit at the end....aside Greg Chappell....and David Gower..Junior was the most elegant batsman I have seen

Love that 3 of the GOAT share the same birthday. Tugga was a stubborn more reserved batsman but put in some brilliant knocks and showed off some awesome shots himself. Junior was like the cheeky fearless younger brother who just loved to show off his awesome party pieces whether batting or fielding. Smudge is such a fantastic batsman who thinks every shot before he has played it. He can never stand still and is always going through his routines out in the middle. What players all of them. Loved the respect and admiration that Junior and Smudge had for each other. Love the Aussies so much and i am a POM ❤😂❤ please sort out an interview with both Tugga and Junior 😊

Love smudge love his laugh 😂 how much effort he does to make a lauf 😅 Indeed a modern test legend ❤🎉

No cricketer has looked more elegant on the field as Mark Waugh. Silken batting with a lazy elegance and super stylish. Fielding looked like he was a ballet dancer effortlessly taking catches. That catch of Inzamam in Hobart '99 epitomizes his skill.

I like mark Waugh because he never bends his back while playing

Fox cricket always brings the best content . Best with the best Waugh and Steve 👍❤️

Wow did not know they had the same birthday

More of this .....

What a coincidence that two world class players having same day as birthday and coincidentally name is also same with senior waugh.. It's such a shame that Smith was not able to captained for more matches

World hasn’t seen a batsman like junior..

The thing which edges Smith out for me is that he has played in a tough era for batting. 2013-2017 was flat but since 2018 pitches have been getting harder to bat on. We only have to look at the series just gone against Pakistan to see how hard batting is at the moment.

@JaseC80

@@deltabrainwave69I believe it’s not so much, pitches have gotten harder to play on. Although there are a lot more ‘drop in’ pitches. Batsmen aren’t what the ‘Test’ batsmen were like pre 2010. All the batsmen in the modern era can’t weather good hard consistent bowling. They revert to a 20/20 or ODI style batting. In other words they aren’t putting the same value on their wicket as batsmen of the past eras. Play aggressive at good bowling sooner than later one has your wicket on it.
