The world will never see such an epic commentator like Bill Lawry. He was truly out of this world. Today's Cricket aura is empty without him.

Australians are so mentally strong despite 2 back to back boundaries they didn't give up and fought till the end that's what makes them a true champion of the game.

Still come back and watch this regularly every so often. Still magical each time, just the entirity of the final 4 overs - the commentary, the players, the dropped catch from Aus, Boucher struggling, McGrath striking, Klusener hitting those last 2 4s and of course the legacy of that match for both Aus (the beginning of their dominance) and SA (the choker tag). Not to mention David Shepard's facial expressions

At 5:08 - in cricket, when the ball is hit down the ground, always trust the batsman playing the ball (i.e., striker's end). Klusener knew he timed the ball poorly (which was actually perfect enough to steal the one run) and Allan Donald should have trusted Klusener and just run but he turned his back for some reason.

@amodelchucrut 7 ай бұрын

What's even more amazing is that on the immediate previous ball you saw Klusener hitting but not even going for it, and Allan immediately turning back. So he did trust the batter. But then with the hitter going for the winning single, Allan made safe ground and waited to see if there was a misfield. He pretty much never saw (nor cared about) Klusener coming towards his end. He assumed he'd stop running and play it safe just like he did, after the runout scare from the previous ball. The sudden fear of losing cost them the game.

@mobohra Ай бұрын

Ironically, they should have discussed it keeping fielders are close

@whiteeagle8961 Ай бұрын

The previous delivery near miss runout must have been playing on Donald's mind. A fact often overlooked is SAs middle and lower order relied heavily on Klusener during the entire tournament. So blaming Klusener or Donald is unfair.

Here's what happened in the final ball: Klusener hit the ball, Donald looked at the ball, which means he could not look at Klusener, so he assumed that Klusener would not run since the ball was not that far from the wicket. He immediately backed up onto his crease, not realizing that Klusener was running towards him, but when he does realize, it is too late. He runs to the other side, but was runout.
