Editing Mark Waugh (section)

===ODI opener===
After two unproductive Tests on the 1993 New Zealand tour, Waugh was dropped for the third Test, this time in favour of the younger Damien Martyn. In the ODI series, Australia opted for a new strategy and promoted Waugh to open the batting. He scored 60 and 57 in the first two matches to help set up an Australian victory, then scored his maiden ODI century, 108 in [[Hamilton, New Zealand|Hamilton]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Australia vs New Zealand 1st ODI 1992/93 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-tour-of-new-zealand-1992-93-61409/new-zealand-vs-australia-1st-odi-64419/full-scorecard|access-date=3 April 2021|website=ESPNcricinfo|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of New Zealand vs Australia 2nd ODI 1992/93 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-tour-of-new-zealand-1992-93-61409/new-zealand-vs-australia-2nd-odi-64422/full-scorecard|access-date=3 April 2021|website=ESPNcricinfo|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Full Scorecard of Australia vs New Zealand 4th ODI 1992/93 - Score Report {{!}} ESPNcricinfo.com|url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-tour-of-new-zealand-1992-93-61409/new-zealand-vs-australia-4th-odi-64428/full-scorecard|access-date=3 April 2021|website=ESPNcricinfo|language=en}}</ref> A score of 83 in the final match made him the leading batsman of the series with 308 runs at 61.60.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Australia in New Zealand, 1992-93 One-Day Series Averages|url=http://static.espncricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/1992-93/AUS_IN_NZ/STATS/AUS_IN_NZ_1992-93_ODI_AVS.html|access-date=3 April 2021|website=static.espncricinfo.com}}</ref>

In the second Test at [[Lord's]]—the spiritual home of cricket— Waugh started on six on the second morning scored quickly to reach 99. He was looking for his century during an over by [[Phil Tufnell]]. Tufnell was employing his customary defensive approach of pitching the ball outside the leg stump with a leg side field. The first ball was a half-volley and Waugh hit it straight from the middle of the bat. However, the ball hit the short leg fielder in the shins. Later in the over, another leg side ball hit his pads, rolled between his legs and onto the stumps, meaning that Waugh missed out on his century.<ref>Knight, p. 164.</ref>

Tufnell dismissed him more than ten times in Test matches utilising this tactic. A century against New Zealand in Hobart brought Waugh's total to 987 Test runs for the calendar year.
