Umpires checked the bat sizes of Indian players (Tendulkar, Ganguly)  to see if it was more broader than usual. Don't remember if it is 1999 ro 2003.

 

2007: Final few overs of the Final was played with malfunctioning flood lights. It was pitch dark sometimes.  MR could have awarded the match to Aus withiut playing out the final overs. It was a farce, 2007 WC was a disaster for ICC. 

Yeah and since then ICC abandoned its crappy super 8 groupings lol. Signalled the end of chappell era and ushered in em es deee..india won the t20 wc within few months. Pain subsided led to euphoria and ipl and cricket changed forever..

In 1996 Aus and Windies had also refused to travel to SriLanka for the political situation there. SL beat the Aussies in the final. That team was quite something.

2011 - Dodgy Toss call by Sangakara.

This is one of the reason, why I call Sanga a cheater. He knew and he did it intentionally. He was great cricketer but not a great character.

1999 WC : That runout by Donald.

 

First on 49.3 he ran like a madman despite not looking at his partner, barely survived.

At 49.4, again didn't look to his partner, and stayed on the crease despite being called.

Something which started the "choker" Tag for South Africans
