Milestones for Waugh in final Ashes Test.
(From Agence France Presse)
The milestones are looming for skipper Steve Waugh when he leads Australia into the fifth and final Ashes cricket Test against England at the Sydney Cricket Ground here.
The 37-year-old Test campaigner may be playing in his last Test at home when the world champions attempt to complete a 5-0 series clean sweep of England.
Waugh will equal Allan Border's world record of 156 Tests and he can match Donald Bradman's Australian record of 29 Test centuries.
He also requires 69 runs to become the third batsman behind Border and Sunil Gavaskar to reach 10,000 Test runs.
And he can emulate Warwick Armstrong (1920-21) as the only Ashes captain at the helm of a 5-0 series clean sweep.
"I think the more Tests you play, the more records you come close to," Waugh said after Australian training at the SCG on Wednesday.
