Steve Waugh to mentor team

Steve Waugh is best known for being one of Australia’s most successful cricket captains. His attitude, mental strength and leadership ability were what made the Australian team such a dominant force, which it continues to be today. It’s these qualities that Graham Arnold wants to invest in. He wants Waugh to mentor the senior players about the pressures of being favourites in a big tournament, as well as various other mental challenges that may lie ahead. I’m all for this move. Without King Hiddink, Steve Waugh’s inspiration may be the ‘X-Factor’ that we need.

Meanwhile, Graham Arnold has rubbished rumours of a new coach claiming: “The comments attributed to me (by a Korean publication) are total bull***t, I don’t even want to react to it.” Whether or not its true, he said he’s not reacting to it, which is the main thing, don’t want the team to get distracted.
