The inspiration behind an epic hundred, 3rd January 2003.

When Steve Waugh walked out to bat on the 3rd of January 2003, in the fifth Ashes Test, he knew his career was on the line. Former Test players were suggesting that it was time for him to go. It was rumoured that the selectors had lost confidence in him.

From the moment the Sydney crowd gave Waugh a hero's reception as he strode out to bat, the 3rd of January became one of Australia's sports' most special days. By the day's final ball, the captain's reputation was restored; now he was within one stroke of his 100.

After a long delay as England Skipper Nasser Hussein fiddled with his field, Waugh flayed the delivery through the covers to cap a remarkable session. He was one of those rare sporting moments where everyone will remember where they were when that famous fall was struck.

Never Say Die features the whole story of this amazing 100, told by the man who made it, and supported by excerpts from interviews with Nasser Hussain, Justin Langer, Adam Gilchrist and media personality Andrew Denton. (book flap)
