Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
But Moody remained in the reckoning for the ODI versions, and made a comeback to the side. His all round ability played an important part in Australia's succesful World Cup camaign at England in 1999, and Moody, along with Steve Waugh, became the first two Australians to be part of 2 World Cup winning squads.
Moody's best performances came in first class cricket, where he played for Western Australia, and also Warwickshire and Worcestershire in the English county. He has hit more than 20,000 first class runs, and his 1387 List A runs for Worcestershire in 1991 is a record for the county. A persistent back injury forced Moody to retire in 2000-01, and he took to coaching and also became an analyst in the media. In 2005, he was in contention to become India’s coach but lost out to Greg Chappell. Moody became Sri Lanka’s coach a few months later, and took them to the final of the 2007 World Cup. He resigned the job soon after and returned to Western Australia. He was also the coach of the Kings XI Punjab franchise in the Indian Premier League before being named coach of the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013.
Moody established himself as a very good commentator and is almost a regular with Channel Nine in Australia and also travels across the globe to voice his opinions for some major tournaments.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Tom Moody was both tall and a player of stature. He measures in at 6ft 6ins, but overcame an early awkwardness against short bowling to become a batsman who at his best hit through the covers and down the ground with alarming power. He was also a capable medium-pace swing bowler, a safe slip fieldsman and a natural leader. His short Test career did not take off after he was sacrified as an opener in Sri Lanka in 1992-93, though he made a memorable comeback to the one-day team in time to play in, and contribute measurably to, Australia's 1999 World Cup win. He and Steve Waugh became the first two Australians to win two World Cups. Moody's greatest service was to Western Australia and Worcestershire, leading both to all manner of domestic silverware. Dogged by back injury, he retired in 2000-01 and became president of the Australian Cricketers' Association and coach, then director of cricket, at Worcestershire. He also made regular appearances as an analyst on TV. In 2005 he was linked with the Indian coaching job, but in May he was appointed as Sri Lanka's coach. He quickly made an impression and guided Sri Lanka to the World Cup final in April 2007. The following month he quit and announced he was returning home to coach Western Australia.
