CLASSIC WORLD CUP MOMENTS

South Africa crash out of their home World Cup

After the disappointment of Australia in 1992, another cloudburst rips South Africa's World Cup hopes

After indifferent starts to their campaigns in Group B, Sri Lanka and South Africa faced a do-or-die clash in steamy Durban. Sri Lanka had flunked against Kenya and South Africa, and short of quality back-up bowling and apparently hampered by internal discord, were trounced by New Zealand. The key decider also had a little extra spice in the context of the two teams' hot-tempered series before Christmas.

 

Sri Lanka batted first. Marvan Atapattu cracked a beautiful century. He had support from a lyrical Aravinda de Silva, who was about to retire. South Africa were set a tricky 269-run target. Herschelle Gibbs teed off with some big hitting but Sri Lanka's spinners clawed their way back. The initiative swapped back and forth before Mark Boucher and Shaun Pollock turned the tide with a 63-run stand. But a light drizzle grew steadily heavier by the time Muthiah Muralidaran ran out Pollock.

Lance Klusener's arrival at the crease coincided with a deterioration in the weather. As he patted just one run from his first eight balls it became increasingly clear that the match was going to end early. At the end of the 44th over the South African dressing room sent a message to Boucher that the score needed to be 229 by the end of the 45th, assuming no further wickets fell.

 

The contest was on a knife edge but Sri Lanka's spinners were struggling to grip the slippery ball. Boucher pounced on the penultimate ball of the over, swinging a six over wide mid-on, and, the score now 229, he punched the air in jubilation and safely defended the last ball of the over. As he'd anticipated, the umpires pulled the players off.

 

However, Boucher's elation was soon replaced by confusion and then despair: the instructions had been wrong: 229 were needed for a tie. South Africa needed a win to go through. As rain drenched the ground and play was called off, the South Africa dressing room plunged into depression.

The Duckworth Lewis confusion of 2003

In the 2003 World Cup, played on their home soil, South Africa needed to win their last group stage match to advance to the Super Eight. Against Sri Lanka, rain interrupted the Proteas chase, and the message was not clear to Mark Boucher at the crease. On the last ball, they needed a single to get ahead of the DLS's par score, but Boucher played a dot ball, and as a result, the match ended in a tie as no further play was possible due to rain and once again the Proteas lost a must-win game.  

 

Rain break of 1992

In the 1992 World Cup semi-final, South Africa's first since their return to cricket, they needed 22 runs off 13 balls to win the match and make it to the final. The umpires took a rain break, and after the break, the Proteas still needed 22 runs but off just one ball to win. The bizarre calculation was unfathomable as South Africa lost their first semi-final.
