Waugh ready for more
Mark Waugh
Waugh concedes his Test career could be over
Mark Waugh believes he has two years of cricket left in him although he concedes his Test career may be drawing to a close.

"I think I've got two years left in me at the top level," Waugh told the Sydney-based Herald Sun newspaper on Thursday.

"Whether I get a chance to play there [for Australia] or maybe finish with New South Wales or a county team, is another matter," he added.

Waugh made 169 runs at 33.80 in Australia's recent three-Test series in South Africa, which the team won 2-1 to retain their world number one ranking.

Waugh has been left out of the Australian one-day side currently playing a seven-match series against South Africa.

No big score

Both he and his brother Steve have had theirTest futures put into doubt by their recent exclusion.

"I think I'm playing not too bad at the moment. I think I'm batting pretty well, I just haven't made a big score," he commented.

The twins have been granted a stay of execution with the cancellation of Australia's tour of Zimbabwe, which was due to happen immediately after the South African tour.

"I would have liked to have played there (Zimbabwe), but obviously the circumstances just aren't right for cricket," Waugh commented.

Waugh, who previously enjoyed a spell with Essex, said he had received a couple of offers to go back to English county cricket.

He said if he did not take up one of the offers he would probably relax by playing some golf and watching his Sydney rugby league team the Bulldogs.
