head coach Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Most exciting event that you saw in a World Cup? India winning WC in 83 is one but I think more than that it was the hatrick that Chetan Sharma took which was exciting for me. Never expected that one! How about you? Link to comment

Predator_05 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Most exciting event that you saw in a World Cup? WI's embarrassing collapse vs AUS in the '96 semi-final...precipitated by none other than that genius; the greatest spinner of all time - Shane Warne. That comeback was the stuff of dreams.

Rajiv Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Most exciting event that you saw in a World Cup? He did it in the 99 Semis too, Saffies were going smoothly and he dismissed Gibbs, Kirsten and Cronje in span of 3 overs.........then took kallis at 175 whilst chasing 213 only Link to comment

Predator_05 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Most exciting event that you saw in a World Cup? Yep; but that '96 semi vs WI was something else. It was quite literally extracting a victory out of what was a 100% certain loss. They were 160 for 2 chasing 200 !!! ...that Chuttiah Chuckerlitharan couldn't dream of performances like that.

dhruvdeepak Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Most exciting event that you saw in a World Cup? WI's embarrassing collapse vs AUS in the '96 semi-final...precipitated by none other than that genius; the greatest spinner of all time - Shane Warne. That comeback was the stuff of dreams. imo the biggest difference in that match was effected by leg umpire BC Cooray. it was 180-odd for 6 or 7, Richardson screamed a perfectly hit sweep shot into what looked like a vacant gap and a surefire 4. but wait, umpire BC Cooray, dozing off at fine leg in the heartstopping moments of a WC semifinal, does not move in time and gets hit plum on the head. no runs are taken because heck this man is down, no extra ball is given. RR denied 4, WI lose by 5. Link to comment
Parth Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Most exciting event that you saw in a World Cup? I guess all India Vs Pakistan matches are exciting the crowd and the athmosphere just do it for me Link to comment
Rohan495 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Most exciting event that you saw in a World Cup? i will have to jump on the bandwagon and say the two victories in 2003 and 1999 against pakistan, but 03 certainly stands out the most Link to comment
indistani Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Re: Most exciting event that you saw in a World Cup? 2003 was the best in my eyes... 3 careers ended in that match.... Anwar, Akram and Waqar... shoaib ended his bad mouthing against India for good... and i think it was also the first match we played safter kargil war Link to comment

Legend Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Re: Most exciting event that you saw in a World Cup? Well India pak games were always great.. though match of the milenium was the aus vs sa semifinal, after 8 years also now that game remains one of my most favorite game... Link to comment
