While Waugh was a tough critic of the team's behaviour when the cheating incident occurred, he had every faith in ex-captain Steve Smith's return to the team.
"One minute you're captain, the next minute you're just a player in the team, with all eyes in the world on him, so it was an incredible performance," he said.

But Waugh is unconcerned by the frequent booing, which he saw merely as"English spectators being very patriotic".
Of course he does .. the father of mental disintegration

PM set for debate about Australia's approach to climate change at Pacific forumPrime Minister Scott Morrison is due to arrive at the Pacific Islands Forum where he will come face to face with leaders ready to debate his government's approach to climate change. Biased SBS at its best 'Mr Morrison will no doubt use bilateral talks to raise concerns over China's increasing presence in the region, notably if he speaks with US Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt.' Use the fake climate change narrative to justify U.S expansionism 100% aided by Australia. Embarrassment will occur in the highest level ...

The end of the suburban sprawlInfrastructure Australia has declared the end of the suburban sprawl across Australia's east coast and warned the biggest challenge facing government will be providing enough inner-city services to cope with the surging population. Population control, FFS! decentralisation won't work. No jobs, no transport, no internet bla bla bla... It's too late as bloody usual. Gov might wake up when the people that keep the place running can't afford housing in the big cities. Surging population? Control/Stop immigration. Job done.
