EDINBURGH, July 14: In a year's time, Steve Waugh could find himself playing the role of coach, motivator, ideologist and at times player in remote areas of Scotland.``I would like to come here if I get the opportunity,'' was Waugh's immediate response to his much-talked about role of nursing Scotland into its 1999 World Cup debut in England. Coaching a team of amateurs including a teacher, carpenter, an engineer and an antique furniture restorer could be a greater challenge than some of his famous innings of his 92-Test career.The amateurs from the North have less than two years to prepare for their first game against the Australians, including Waugh, in their World Cup opener in Worcestershire in May , 1999.Scotland qualified by beating Ireland in the third-place play off at the International Cricket Council (ICC) Trophy Tournament in Kuala Lumpur in April.South Africa's Hansie Cronje played a similar role for Ireland this year, inspiring it to beat Middlesex in England's premier domestic one-day competition.Waugh learned of Cronje's commitment during Australia's tour of South Africa in Feb and soon volunteered for a similar role.
