Waugh leading Aussies on winning path

Steve Waugh hit a defiant half-century to power Australia towards a major first innings total in the fourth Test at the MCG today to demonstrate his determination to continue his illustrious international career.

Speculation has been rife that Waugh will be forced to end his career for Australia at the end of this series with the selectors hinting that his place would no longer be guaranteed after the final Test at Sydney.
