Warne, Klusener and Australia's dominance

Hansie Cronje is run out by Romesh Kaluwitharana at Northampton. The South Africans showed their resilience with a brilliant victory after a start - 59 for 5 - that would probably have floored any other team in the world.

Inzamam-ul-Haq is run out by Damien Fleming at Leeds. He top-scored with 81, although this rather overlooked the damage inflicted by his idiosyncratic running. Three times he found himself at the same end as his partner, and twice it cost a wicket.

Debasis Mohanty celebrates bowling Graeme Hick first ball after just removing Alec Stewart. England arrived at Edgbaston seemingly assured of a Super Six place, but news of Zimbabwe's surprise defeat of South Africa changed everything. England needed to win at Edgbaston, and their batsmen funked the task on the second morning, after rain made this the only group match to go into the reserve day.

Bangladeshi supporters prematurely swamp the pitch at Northampton. With nine wickets down, the umpires called for a TV verdict on whether Saqlain had been run out. He was, but the jubilant Bangladeshi fans were already pouring on to the field.

...while later, Johnson and the Australians head for the dressing room at Lord's. It was 16 years to the day since Zimbabwe sensationally beat Australia in the 1983 World Cup but even Johnson's unbeaten 132 couldn't stop Australia.

Adam Parore and Roger Twose celebrate New Zealand's progression into the semi-final stage with victory over India. Twose played with Waugh-like determination, and with 58 needed from 58 balls - even a heavy shower that halted proceedings for over an hour didn't bother him.

The mother of all mix-ups: Klusener drove down the ground, Donald grounded his bat, dropped it, and finally set off; Mark Waugh, at mid-on, flicked the ball to Fleming, who rolled it to Gilchrist, who broke the wicket, and South African hearts.

Mark Waugh took a blinder to get rid of Wajahatullah Wasti as Australia made early inroads during the final at Lord's. Wasti followed a ball from McGrath that bounced and left him; Waugh, at second slip, flew to his right and clung on with both hands. It set the tone for the match.

The victorious Australians with the 1999 World Cup. Australia won the seventh edition with such single-minded ruthlessness that even an eight-wicket victory failed to do them justice.

Man-of-the-Match Neil Johnson roars after taking a wicket as Zimbabwe upset South Africa at Chelmsford. Zimbabwe were probably more stunned than South Africa; it was their first win over their neighbours at any level, and meant that they started the Super Six stage joint leaders with Pakistan.

The Indians celebrate victory over Pakistan at Old Trafford. The final statistics - three arrests, nine ejections, and one Indian flag burned during some scuffling at the close - were a very minor blemish on a thrilling day.

Glenn McGrath nails Sachin Tendulkar for 0 in the first Super Six game at The Oval. Four exquisite overs from McGrath put this crucial game beyond India's reach. Bowling with unstinting menace and significant seam movement, he reduced India to a pitiable 17 for 4

Shoaib Akhtar runs in during the semi-finals at Manchester. Shoaib broke the wicket in each of his three spells, but both captains identified that strike, his second, as the turning point. He showed pace does matter in one-day cricket, Wasim Akram proudly declared.

Ijaz Ahmed is bowled by Warne. Warne produced an astounding delivery to dismiss Ijaz, who had hung around doggedly for 22. The ball pitched on or just outside leg and hit off. It was not quite the famous Gatting ball, nor even the one that dismissed Gibbs in the semi-final, but it was the turning point of the match.
