Fourteen years ago,12 players in arguably one of the most dominant Australian Test cricket sides ever comprehensively beat Pakistan 3-0 in a test series played away from home.
Steve Waugh
Waugh compensated for two ducks with a century in the 2002 Test series versus Pakistan. The twin of Mark Waugh, Steve is Australia’s most capped Test cricketer with 168 Test appearances in the baggy green.
As a captain of the Australian side, Waugh always played and led the game with emphasis on attack and effectiveness. To cap off an incredible career, he was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame in 2010.
He is now primarily focused on his philanthropic work, running his charity called the Steve Waugh Foundation. It provides assistance and support to youth who are suffering from rare diseases.

Damien Martyn
Martyn was well known for his ability to play the ball with ease and his dynamic fielding traits. His duck in the third game of the Test series against Pakistan was a low light, but overall, his performance was satisfactory.
Currently, much of Martyn’s activity since retirement hasn’t been openly publicised. He is married to Lucy-Pascale, and does occasional interviews for print, radio and TV media outlets.
Possibly the most interesting event post-retirement was the fact that Martyn was one of the VERY few people followed by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump in 2015. Why? We’ll probably never know… Maybe Trump was a fan of Martyn’s convincing reverse sweep.

Adam Gilchrist
A fan favourite of the Australian cricket team, Gilchrist, now 45, was a wicketkeeper and thrilling batsmen during his career. His performance against Pakistan in 2002 was far from outstanding, but he was always a secure pair of hands behind the stumps, while the bowlers did the majority of the damage.
Nowadays, his main role is being a commentator for Channel 10’s Big Bash League coverage, providing analysis along with a personable attitude on the microphone.

Shane Warne
You’ve been waiting for this bloke, haven’t you? On and off the field, Shane Warne writes the headlines. Warne is undoubtedly the king of leg spin, producing deliveries in his career that no-one believed possible.
It’s fair to say that right now, Shane Warne isn’t always known for all the best of reasons. There have been numerous allegations of him cheating, smoking and dancing in his grundies with models. Poker is also one of his past-times, having played in the World Series of Poker on seven occasions.
Going back to cricket, Warne is currently a commentator for Channel 9, providing opinions, breakdown analysis and some signature carefree ‘Warnie’ attitude - which also earned him a fine last month for driving without a seatbelt in a video on YouTube!
