World Cup memories: 2000
Winning the cup, losing a cap

2000, New Zealand
Haidee Tiffen
My best memory of the World Cup is obviously our win against Australia in the final.
To become world champions in front of our home crowd was truly special and it was New Zealand's first world title as well - Australia and England had scrapped for it in the previous World Cups.
The match went down to the wire. Australia needed five runs to win and we needed one wicket. Offspinner Clare Nicholson came to bowl the final over and Charmaine Mason edged the first ball to our keeper, Rebecca Rolls.
All I remember after that is throwing my cap into the crowd during the celebrations and feeling gutted that I had just thrown my New Zealand cap away! I still haven't recovered it, obviously.
That win was the best highlight of my career to date.

Staff writer Nishi studied journalism because she didn't want to study at all. As she spent most of the time at j-school stationed in front of the TV watching cricket her placement officer had no choice but to send out a desperate plea to the editor of ESPNcricinfo to hire her. Though some of the senior staff was suspicious at that a diploma in journalism was the worst thing that could happen to ESPNcricinfo and she did nothing to allay them, she continues to log in everyday and do her two bits for cricket.
