1999 WORLD CUP

Shane Warne came into the one-day tournament not long after being dropped from the Test team, and was feuding with captain Steve Waugh. But when it mattered most, he produced mindboggling brilliance that lifted Australia in one of the most famous matches played – the semi-final against South Africa at Edgbaston.

At 0-48 chasing a small total of 214, South Africa was cruising towards the final when Warne turned the match in the space of three overs – taking three wickets in a row and four of the first five wickets for the innings to wrest back the momentum before the climax of a finish.
