1999 - One Run Short

Tweet

The Austrailians, under the leadership of the determined Steve Waugh, were always going to be a threat to any side. However they had not started the 1999 World Cup in the best of the form. In fact, South Africa had an excellent opporunity to send them home early, with last Super Six match against them at Headingley, Leeds. Austrailia needed to win it to proceed to win it to proceed to the semi-finals, whereas South Africa had already qualified for the semis, thanks largely to some superb individual performance by Lance 'Zulu' Klusener. Who deserved to win the 1999 World Cup? Did Gibbs drop the world cup, is that right? Was donald the main culprit?
