Anthony Stuart rates the hat-trick against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 as the most memorable moment of his life
Former Australian fast bowler, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Anthony-Mark-Stuart-c45049, has said that grabbing a hat-trick against Pakistan in a One Day International (ODI) at Melbourne in 1997, was the best moment of his career.
Stuart has recently been appointed as the coach of New South Wales and is helping the Aussie youngsters to learn the trades of the game.
He expressed that representing his country at the highest level of the sport was the biggest achievement of his life and was not less than a dream come true. He rated the memorable hat-trick against the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Short-c90107 career
for Australia.
However, he also expressed disappointment that he could not perform well for his country for a longer period of time.
Stuart said, “I was privileged to play for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746. It gave me some great experiences and memories. Taking a hat-trick against Pakistan in front of nearly 50,000 people at the MCG in 1996-97 is at the top of the list. Unfortunately, my form dropped off
and that was it for my international career.”
Stuart, who is 41 now, just played three ODIs for Australia but could not impress the selectors http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gordon-James-Muchall-c60376 after that, which resulted in an early retirement and made him chose coaching as a profession.
However, the former fast bowler does not have any repentance and is http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Groom-c60840.
He is very excited about his current role as the coach of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823. Stuart also revealed that he planned to take up coaching as a profession during his playing days and now he wants to excel in this field and become one of the better coaches in Australia.
“In some ways it was a blessing because the world of coaching soon opened up for me. I'm thrilled that it has led me to the position I'm in now, coach of the Blues. It's been quite a journey. The season after I played for Australia, in the winter of 1997,
I started thinking that coaching might be for me,” former fast bowler added.
