On this day: Herschelle Gibbs drops Steve Waugh & the 1999 World Cup
New Delhi, June 13: Australia and South Africa have played some of the most memorable encounters in ODI cricket. While the match that would pop into most fans' minds between the two giants of the game would be the famous 2006 ODI at the Wanderers, there was also the 1999 World Cup semi-final which is seen as the start of South Africa's tendency to choke in big ICC tournaments.
Before that match however was another thriller between the two sides in the Super Six stage. As is often the case in fiercely contested matches, it was slim margins that separated the two sides and one of these factors was Herschelle Gibbs' dropped catch that gave Australia's talismanic skipper Steve Waugh a lease of life.
