00:00In this video, we revisit a tenacious and gritty knock from the man who came to symbolize

00:06Australian resilience.

00:08Stevo facing the fire and fury of the West Indies Space Battery in the first test at

00:13Bridgetown in 1995, Stevo stood tall and unflinching.

00:17He compiled a crucial 65 runs of 81 balls in 128 minutes, laced with eight firm boundaries.

00:25It shot a statement of determination against the most fearsome attack of that era.

00:31It was not a flamboyant display but a knock built brick by brick, soaked in patience, courage

00:37and calculated stroke play.

00:39So sit back and relive this vintage gem from the golden archives of test cricket, a reminder

00:44of how one man's grit can tilt the balance in the most hard fought of battles.

00:51And so it's the Brothers War in charge.

00:58Junior is already there.

01:06Well, Stevo looks in a very hitting aggressive mood.

01:12He's whacked the ball for four past Squirley to get off the mark and then he's hit another

01:19boundary because it can't be stopped by the big fella who gives a wry smile.

01:22Not a perfectly timed shot, but he looks in a hitting aggressive mood.

01:29Well, he's got away with that.

01:35Steve Waugh hits his third boundary and Australia is three for 138.

01:45Australia three for 151.

01:54Uppishly, he's in that hitting mode and he's striking the ball to the fence again.

02:03Yeah, good shot off the back foot.

02:18He's just warming up a bit his Kirtle yet.

02:21The ball's not quite firing out of his hand.

02:24Just putting it there.

02:28He needs something as far.

02:31A couple of overs warm up and then some spark to just get him ignited.

02:36Short, short of Lara I think.

02:41Got the edge, good fielding.

02:44I don't think that carried to Lara.

02:49Just on the half volley.

02:52Got the mistake from him.

02:58There it is.

02:59Just in front.

03:01That's cracked away.

03:15He really put everything into that.

03:18Another boundary.

03:19So the boundaries really are rattling along here at Kensington.

03:24And that's the usual Trini Posse with the Trini Bear.

03:31And that's just one guy's lot.

03:33Three.

03:34He's climbed up very sweetly indeed.

03:43And that's four.

03:44He's played well off his pants and off his legs from the word go.

03:48Well it's smart cricket by Steve Waugh because Richard Richardson has given Kirtley Ambrose a very difficult feel to boulder.

04:01He's got right across his stilts.

04:08Just diving full length to Parry.

04:14Stephen Waugh hooking that through.

04:19Five for 196 that puts the Australians ahead.

04:24Brave attempt to stop the boundary.

04:37I don't think you'll see many better back foot shots than this.

04:41Did give him quite a bit of width and shortness.

04:44It was a loosener first ball but still a very good shot.

04:49So Steve Waugh gets his 50.

04:57Your half century.

05:02He's got that one away very comfortably for four.

05:16He's been strung off his toes all day.

05:19His pads.

05:22Well Courtney Walsh attempting the Yawker there.

05:25That ball drifting a bit down the leg side.

05:27And not quite up as far as the length is concerned.

05:35It's brilliantly caught by Junior Murray.

05:38It's a brilliant catch diving full length to his right.

05:41He's quite tall for a keeper.

05:43It's Steve Waugh reproaching himself.

05:46It's a magnificent piece of work by Junior Murray.

05:49The crowd go up.

05:50Junior Murray is delighted.

05:52To his feet he realized that he had taken a very good catch.

05:55It's 6 for 2.30 Australia.

06:03Truly an outstanding catch.

06:05Steve Waugh making one of the few mistakes that he has made in this innings and playing for it.

06:10That ball certainly wouldn't have gotten to Brian Lara at first.

06:15Steve Waugh innings proved vital.

06:17Anchoring Australian first innings effort and helping his side post a total that would ultimately prove decisive.

06:23From there Australians seized the momentum.

06:26Their ballers tearing into the West Indies' famed batting line-up.

06:30What followed was a history.

06:32A 10-wicket victory inside three days.

06:34The West Indies' first such defeat on home soil in three decades.

06:38This was more than just a runs on a scorecard.

06:41It was a turning point in cricket's great rivalry.

06:44Steve Waugh's effort epitomized the unyielding spirit that would soon carry Australia into an era of dominance.
