Steve Waugh, while in conversation with Michael Atherton on Sky Sports, opened up on his relationship with twin brother and former Australia teammate Mark Waugh.
Atherton recalled a comment from Steve on his equation with his brother, where he had said “being competitive and being able to be seen as individuals drove a wedge between us that took years to remove.”
Waugh admitted the duo’s relationship wasn’t straightforward, and that they decided to go in different directions before starting their first-class careers with New South Wales.
The Waugh brothers went on to cement their place as two of the greatest Australian cricketers, playing together for the national team for almost 14 years.
