From the moment the Sydney Cricket Ground crowd gave Steve Waugh a hero’s reception, the second day of the fifth Ashes Test of 2003 evolved into one of Australian sport’s most special occasions … a perfect day. As he walked out to bat just before tea, Waugh knew his career was on the line.

A Perfect Day features the full story of this amazing hundred, told by the man who made it and supported by excerpts from interviews with England captain Nasser Hussain, Waugh’s teammates Justin Langer and Adam Gilchrist, and media personality Andrew Denton.
