How ONE Dropped Catch Cost A Nation The World Cup

The ONE Mistake That Cost A Nation The World Cup.
In the 1999 Cricket World Cup, one moment changed the course of history for South African cricket. Herschelle Gibbs, one of the team’s brightest stars, made a costly error by dropping a crucial catch off Steve Waugh—a mistake that many believe cost South Africa their shot at the World Cup title. But how could just one catch decide South Africa's fate? Let's find out.

Hey Cricket Lovers🏏, Do you think South Africa would have won the World Cup if they had defeated Australia?

[demonmenace]

SA would have turned into a berserk after winning 1999 World Cup and Australia still may have won 2003 WC but they would have most probably remained the second best team.

Greatest Team of the Tournament❤❤❤
Just 1 needed of 3 balls....Donald did not run...Felt sad For Klusner and SA All Time Heart Breaks...😢😢😢

Donald should have been run out by Lehmann at mid on, the ball before. Hence his reluctance to run on the 4th ball. Sth Africa still had two balls after that to win. Klusener running is the error, not Donald ON THAT BALL.

Ricky Ponting told Mohammed Kaif " how many catches will you drop Kaify. You will just drop the world cup". Ponting went on to score 140* and gave the target 360 as they made 359-2. Mohammed Kaif made 0 in the world cup final of 2003.

Maybe maybe maybe! If Gibbs had’ve completed the catch. If Steve Waugh hadn’t played a blinder either side of the incompleted catch. I Warne hadn’t have bowled so brilliantly in the semi and if only Klusener hadn’t lost his brain at the end.
And I’ll remind you that there was a run out chance the ball before the actual run out that ended the game so in actual fact the same result was almost achieved one ball before. I was having the day off work to watch (I was an Aussie playing club cricket in England at the time) and I still think it’s the dumbest piece of cricket I’ve seen at the professional level considering the Saffas only needed 1 run off the final 4 balls. From memory there wasn’t one piece of communication between Klusener & Donald and there is no doubt in my mind that this was the single biggest contributing factor to them not getting the result.

One of the sad 😭 moments cricket history

[aashutoshbhagat]

Sorry but the dropped catch of waugh from gibbs looks suspicious as hell . As if he purposefully dropped it because it was predetermined by bookies aka match-fixing . It is too simple to be dropped like that. And there was match-fixing allegations on Gibbs which makes it really suspicious 🤔.
