#4 The Steve Waugh kind
The gritty Australian skipper was one of the best captains that ever graced the game. He had a sharp tongue and a no-nonsense look about him. The middle order batsman had one of the best temperaments in the history of the game.
The elder Waugh is remembered for his leadership than his batting skills, but he excelled in both. His personality was evident in his style of captaincy and the way he went about an innings. It was all grit and resolve.

A crucial 120 in the Super Six of the 1999 World Cup against the Proteas is one standout performance of the Australian? The hundred went on to help Australia in a tied semi-final. What he could do was grab a crucial moment and not let go until he won it. Do modern cricketers boast of such gritty stuff? Rare.
