CRICKETER REMAINED IN SHADOW
SARASIJ MAJUMDER
Dravid was in the fight with Sachin for popularity.
Chander Paul was in the fight with Lara for popularity.
Smith was in the fight with Kallis for popularity.
Jack Kalis remained in the Background of Sachin, and LARA.
But Mark Waugh was lost in the shadows of Steve
Waugh, Ricky Ponting, Adam Gilchrist, Matthew Hayden, Justin Langer, and
Michael Bevan’s popularity, in spite of LEGENDERY PERFORMANCE.
Steve Waugh was Australian cricket’s poster-boy back then.
The media loved him, and he too had a unique charm attached to him. He was a
fan favourite too. He was just five years into his international cricket and
the craze he had among the Aussies was admirable.
In 1990, he was hit by bad form and was dropped. The nation
was surprised, their favourite, ‘Tugga’ was dropped. And who would replace him?
Mark Waugh, his twin brother.
The media called him ‘Junior’ and the ‘other Waugh’
Mark had a lot to prove, he had big boots to fill. Playing
under the legendary Allan Border, he scored a century in his debut match. But
unfortunately, Australia lost that match and he didn’t win the ‘Man of the
Match’ award. He was already overshadowed.
It was difficult being Mark Waugh. He was a good leader, but
the Australian board couldn’t keep brothers as captain and vice-captain, so
Ponting was made the vice-captain. He was a great opener too, but Gilchrist
always stole the show. He could give great finishes too, but Bevan’s finishes
were always remembered. He could walk into any world-class team because of his
skills, but he wasn’t the best player in his own backyard.
His elegant shots could make any bowler look like a rookie.
He was named, ‘Sheffield Shield Cricketer of the Year’ twice. He is one of the
few players who can boast of having a first-class average of 50+. Test or ODIs,
it never mattered, he was equally good. He also held the record for ‘most
centuries by an Australian in ODIs’ before Ponting bettered it.
He was a brilliant fielder too, his record of ‘most number
of catches by a non-wicket-keeper’ was broken by Dravid only. He was an
excellent part-time bowler. In fact, he is one of the few bowlers to have
bowled both, good medium pace and off-spin at an international level. He became
an off-spin bowler after back injury.
These records and achievements can make any player envious,
but to the world, he was still remembered as ‘the other Waugh’.

The man behind Hydroxychloroquine is Acharya Prafulla Chandra Roy, known as ‘father of Indian Chemistry’, who was a well-known Indian scientist, teacher and one of the first modern Indian chemical researchers. He discovered the stable compound mercurous nitrate in 1896. He should have got a NOBLE PRIZE for that. In 1901, Bengal Chemical was formed by him, which is the first pharma company in India and manufactured many products in 1920s which otherwise had to be imported from Europe or UK. After obtaining his BSc degree from Edinburgh University, Roy completed his doctorate in 1887 from the same university. He was the first Indian to get a...
