But yes the situation you mentioned was ludicrous at the time. It made even funnier when the South Africans failed to make it out of the group stages of the World Cup, and Kenya did  Comets > Tigers forever  | ||

In the meantime they win a few tests away from home, Michael Vaughan is scoring some runs and they get all cocky thinking they have what it takes to beat Australia. England wont win a test just correcting your post | ||

BEST GAME EVER I'm sure that was the first final of the 96 season featuring the West indies Australia and Sri Lanka. But I have fond memories of that game The aussies were chasing a small total and were at one stage 6/40 odd. Have to love Bevan though for that camio innings chipping away at the total with the tail enders. Then hitting roger harper for 4 from the last ball to win the match.Another match that sits fondly in my mind is the 1999 world cup semi final, Australia vs South Africa. Was a very slow batting wicket with Australia only scoring 213 odd runs and South Africa was needing 9 from the last over with Kluzener hitting the ball as if it were the size of a beach ball. Fleming the old aussie swing bowler was hit for the first 2 balls of the over. The match was then tied and with 3 balls left Kluzener and allan donald went for a suicide single ending the match in a tie but meaning Australia progressed! | ||

Australia were chasing a pretty big total with Steve Waugh saving our asses. Gibbs caught the ball threw it up to celebrate then dropped it.Then Steve Waugh goes up to him and says "You just dropped yourself the world cup" lol | ||
