ho ni freak bro!...i don't see any single match from this WC that i would remember for a long time. i even believe that this WC is the worst one i've ever seen, personally and i guess, many would concur with my opinion here. this WC will be remembered for sour reasons like the murder of Bob Woolmer and early exits of good teams like IND or PAK and a long (to some extent boring) super 8 format. there were too many minnows to begin with. some matches like those you've quoted were worth some attention but again, there were not many of them and certainly not towards the end of the tournament. barring AUS and SL and to some extent NZ, i didn't see any other teams performing to their full potential consistently which brought about a not so great (in fact a dull) show. i still remember WC 92 for the semi finals between NZ and PAK and between SA and ENG. i do remember 96 WC for the crunch semi final between AUS and WI and between SL and IND and of course the IND PAK encounter. i remember 99 WC for the classic back to back encounters ( including the semi) between AUS and SA. unfortunately, there isn't a single match that i could stamp in my memory from this WC. don't you think so?
