  • klusner was amazing...

  • "you just dropped the world cup" steve waugh

    

  • I remember that match..i wasn`t able to sleep all night.. South africa was my fav.... Lance klusener was the king of the world cup

  • @scorpiomerss same thing happened with me.cant forget that mach.

  • u mad saffers?

  • zionist match-fix. 

  • surprisingly u guys dun know this was a fixed game.gibbs dropped s.waugh & later admitted he did it for money.there was some indian bookie involved as well & that is the reason y gibbs cudnt tour india bcoz indian police wanted to arrest him n interrogate him & hansie cronje was later banned for life n died mysteriously in a so called plan crash !

    any1 cud tell after watching this run out that everything went according to plan.y wud klusener take a suicidal run after smashing two 4s off 2 balls

  • Greatest game of one day cricket ever! Narrowly edges out Michael Bevan's heroics against the Windies in 96/97 (can't remember exactly which year it was). Come on Aussies!

  • That was an amazing game I remember staying up late to watch it and I had given up hope..

    The last 4, I was about to turn the T.V off feeling disgusted I thought to myself I just watch Klusener hit another 4 to win... And the the impossible happened.. What a moment!!!

  • Yea thats sad i mean he was left with 4 balls and he could hav used the nxt three...bt it ended in a sad way...it was a pressure game but hold on hold on why did Pakistan lost against Aussies?

    Just bcz of those Old Cooks Wazeeem n Saleeem dayeeum I hate bofth of em.

    Saleem was caught in match fixing but Waseeem he got a good decent payment..All I can sayh is If i eva see Waseeem I will kill him Waseeeem popat;p

  • LK was the striker. The rule is when it's the striker's call, the non-striker must adhere to that call, and reverse is also true; when it's the non-striker's call, the striker must obey. This was clearly LK's call, being the striker, and in my opinion AD should have paid attention to the striker more than the ball going past him. LK was running toward the danger end and made his ground easily, AD would have made it too had he not been looking back. I feel sorry for SA. This game was so close.

  • Greatest moment in cricket for the last 20 years!

  • I don't know why Donald cops all the blame here, there was no need for Klusner to run, they had more deliveries where he could have made better contact and they would have had a better chance of making a single. Taking a very risky single with balls left if bad cricket. Klusner cracked

  • It's ok South Africans, you got us back during the 434/438 game.

  • @ThyJovan they sure did, however i would trade a World Cup victory for that highscoring runfest loss any day of the week. :)

  • Lance Klusener put it into perspective though "Nobody died out there". An amazing game, so many ebbs and flows, first to Sth Africa, then to Australia, then back again...think it turned my haird grey!!

  • Bill lawry >> best Commentator ever!!!

  • sadest moment i always cry

  • Australia did NOT,and I repeat did NOT win this match.It was a tie.They still went through on a technicality.

  • The moment that changed the history of Australian cricket and the moment that could have transformed SA's cricketing future.. I watched it as a 12 year old and seems like yesterday still!

  • fucking donald cunt couldnt move his ass an inch and klusener was running like his ass was on FIRE!!!

  • this match was fixed..

  • Comment removed

  • @onarass ...donald did the right thing. it was a stupid run by klusner with 2 balls to go

  • @tgmcrad it was klusners call.....it was an easy single....donald fucked it up and thats what he is remembered for....a brilliant aussie side tho that always found a way to win

  • Allan Donald in 2011: "Hi Lance, I just wanted to..."

    Lance Klusener in 2011: "fuck off, you're still a cunt"

  • at 0:46 look at the people running in the mirror as if it is the end of the world......lol, one of the best games ever

  • i remember thinking this was fixed along with the gibbs catch. But after watching them again screwing it up in 2011 i just have to say chokers 4 life

  • CH CHo CHOKERS

  • This brought out the Aussie mojo for the next 3 consecutive world cup wins. This was the spark,....and I was on cloud 9 when this happened!!!!!!!

  • God made a selfish descion, and lance klusner fought against it till the last moment. Though SA lost, I consider they won..becuase nobody remembers Aus when watching this match, SA won many hearts after this match.

  • @tearyoakson Yes God made a selfish decision in my favor. I am Indian who was living in India at that time in 1999 and in college. One of my hostel guys threw a rock at me and called me a motherfucker out loud in front of all of his friends when Australia had just managed a small total of about 212 runs. I walked past him and asked the guy why he did that, and he said he just felt like doing that. To punish him, God had to make a selfish decision. I love the Australian team.

  • Allan Donald was taking a nap on the other end...SLEEP TIGHT AND STICK TO YOUR CREASE

  • @TheColchester05 You idiot...just one ball before that one he was almost run out by a direct throw by a diving Lehman, who threw the ball back hard and missed the stumps by an inch. Donald was way out of his ground. Next ball he turned around to make sure that the same did not happen, but that went against him and Klusener. Watch the entire over, not just parts of this video because this video has that part missing.

  • South Africa always choke !!!!!!! They choked in this game just like they choked against Australian in the Rugby world cup yesterday ha ha ha ha . They are the biggest chokers in sporting history ha ha ha ha ha ha

  • that was a class of match fixing:)

  • Klusener was totally robbed. The guy was incredible. Still -- Warnie Warnie Warnie.

  • i believe the shot was a back drive

  • I have been run out like that but Im glad I wasnt in the same position...

  • I cry everytime I watch it ....even though I am neither a south african nor a huge fan.

  • @ancientphoenixians I didnt had my dinner that nite

  • @ancientphoenixians ya me too

  • donald and gibbs made klusner effort look in vain "curse you donald"

  • Wouldn't be a world cup without South Africa tipping it in..

  • Donald did match fixing ! 

  • lololol

  • match was fixed!!

  • same old saffers ....always choking ...

  • C word .. rhymes with pokers

  • sigh...I can't even bear to watch this...guess these things happen...sigh...

  • this is a perfect example for those who dont believe that a divine cosmic power above us controls the game, not the players!!

  • klusner had no clue what happened behind his back as he confidently ran away and turned back to realize! wow!

  • @carolinaindian I disagree I think Klusner kept running to the pavilion because he knew that Donald was going to be run out. When Klusner ran to the other end he would have seen Donald still at his crease. I think when Klusener ran to the other end of the pitch he knew the game was over and kept heading towards the pavilion looking behind to see the aftermath of what had happened.

  • that made me feel bad! what was that non-striker thinking? but still, pakistan would have got beaten by SA anywais so well done australia.( i am b'deshi btw)

  • haahahahahahhahaha aussie aussie aussie woooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fuck india aswell

  • @lilbennyt Yeah fuck INDIA lol. I guess we Indians fucked you guys in 2011 world cup Quarter finals LMAO

  • this one was fixed i mean cmon if a man has to make 1 run from 4 balls can easily do it.....it was fixed...

  • @unknownguy74 you must be an indian shit... every time you come upwith shity ideas.. 

  • @miannkhaliq It's funny how a "human being" is arguing with an "Indian SHIT" , LOL

  • Gold !

  • Allan donald's fault!

  • They didn't even lose it.1 run to win and all out...BUT JUST COULDNT GET TO IT !!! DAMN!! SOUTH AFRICA HAS "REAL BAD LUCK", Newzealand as well

  • Sad memories. :(

  • these are real chokers ..these idiots claim to be the best in the world and never win a knock out match ..fucking arrognat idiots .... graeme smith is arrogant bastard that asshole questioned sachin's comittmnt and himself dint go to SA after CHOKING in QF looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooser chokers

  • @siddharthsvnit dude, take a deep breath and settle down. No need to abuse. Let's be honest, yeah they did not /cannot win the crunch matches. However, they are better than us (i.e. India)

  • we named donald after this, donald duck lollz

  • Great calling by Wiliam Lawry

  • I stopped watching cricket after this match. I was preparing for my exam on the next day but still watching the game. Got disappointed. :(

  • Allan donald,once again *sigh*

  • no if he had run history of 1996 ec would have been different

  • ALAN DONALD MUST BE CURSING HIMSELF FOR REST OF HIS LIFE

  • @maqychampion wasnt his fault really...there were still three balls left..so it was not a do or die situation.

  • ugh..how disappointing..

  • this is the match than i dnt wana watch again i was hurted when i saw this unbelivel run out of donald . but i respect lance klusener's inings and salute his ining he is a great players and a big smash hiter of south african team and i love south african cricket team forever i m a big fan of cricket south africa

  • Australia put RSA out of both world cup's in 1999. Both in semi finals in similar fashions (Stephen Larkham's extra-time drop goal and this). Australia also went on to win both world cups!!!!

  • i really cried n shoutd 4 lance n SA aft watchin dis match in 1999 when i was jus 10....if SA won dis could b ma favvv match ever but aft d result dis has becom d thing which i hate d most in ma life.....luv u lance n SA.......

  • i heard a lot about this run out, but watcing for the 1st time. O god ! how an experienced cricketer can make such a silly mistake ?!!!!!?

  • I saw this terrific match in 1999. After the result I was elated and shouted aloud, this woke up my parents :-). Irrespective of the result I can tell you that even after 12 years I can still say that I am fan of Lance Klusner. I hate people who only see the result but not the performance or effort. Look at Sachin Tendulkar, he scored 85 in 2011 semi finals, what is the use that is after 4 or 5 dropped catches.

    I wish some day I can meet Lance and tell him that I am fan of him.

  • @wibas2008 very true brother

    we all love u Mr Lance Klusner

    One of the best hitters the worlh had ever produced

    and he is much greater player than his statistics

    ..greetings from Pakistan

  • one of the best world cup matches i've seen till now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    luv u lance

  • This shud have been the final!! I remember the Aus vs Pak final was so boring.... though any match would be after this!!

  • more and more i think.....matches are FIXED

  • totally uncool... 

  • Ridiculous running with two balls to go

    love that line

    ah well SA choked once again this wc

  • South Africans are truly and surely cricketing JOKERS!!!!

  • thats one reason pakistan will hate donald..:D

  • Who just watched the NZ SA game? ROFLLL

  • @PSCricket3 You laugh I cry. Poor Jaques Kallis. Greatest all rounder ever and a perfect gentleman. Deserved a world cup Final at least :(

  • @jackbliss Yeah but not getting a WC won't diminish his reputation as one of the best all rounders in history of cricket.

  • Cricket is a funny game.

    

  • this is painful to watch... i remember feeling sick after this happened

  • Donald ruins it again for SA.

  • @purmas ... and still, Donald does it again as the Black Caps bowling coach!

  • South Africa is the best team in the world. This time they should win the world cup. Cheers!!

  • @jamup2009 HAHAHA......go watch the evening news boy...:P

  • Run Donald Run!

  • I have to say too, great commentary from Bill Lawry, he is not one you would usually expect to be so impartial.  I was expecting "oh Australia have pulled t out of the fire they go through, they're the best blah blah blah" but he didn't. Good stuff ol' Bill.

  • f**k, 12 years later and it still feels bad watching this happen

  • in my opinion, it was klusener's fault. he knew that the ball was clearly going to the fielder. agreed, its the decision of the batsman going towards the danger end to make the call but Donald didn't even know that lance wanted that run. he started to run only after lance almost reached his end. its understandable that Donald didn't think lance would go for the run, not with 4 balls in hand. there wasn't any need to rush.

  • @stevetheslasher klusener was yelling at donald in zulu to run but donald didnt understand, so thats kluseners fault why not just say it in english? in saying that klusener made to the danger end easily so there was definately a run, one of the greatest moments in cricket, its framed and sits proudly in my living room, klusener looking back with donald run out half way down the pitch and all the mighty aussie players cheering in disbelief, then we smashed pakistan in the final, great memories!!!

  • I was 7 years at that time ! Ah what a memory..

  • Ah, this footage still brings a tear of joy to my eye!

    Win, lose or tie, I love Aus vs SA contests!

  • donald wat the actually the non strike batsmen should reach the other side before the strike batsman

  • heart breaking.....

    Klusner set-off for a difficult run and never thought about anything else, he had no idea where Donald was. He was right, the onus is on the batsman running towards the danger end to make the call. Donald should have simply responded to him rather than applying his brain.

    But from Donald's point of view, where the hell was the run? We still have three damn balls, are you even thinking of running for this one?

    A clear case of tragedy.

  • @avinashrcs1 tragedy? absolute euphoria, the greatest moment in world cup history.

  • Was just listing to flem describe this on cricinfo. You should check it out

  • Klusner's fault

  • This was actually Klusener's fault. There were still 4 balls left. Donald rightly thought that there was not a single here, which there clearly wasn't. Klusener still had another 3 balls to find the right ball to run on.

  • most underrated rivalry is of Australia vs South Africa especially in one day .Featured in two greatest one dayers of all time .3 tie matches Many close matches. It has produced much more exciting cricket than India Australia matches which is just media hype.Even when australia was on top South africa had best win percentage that is 40 odd percentage against Aussies.South Africa gave more fight than England inAshes

  • That would suck. haha

  • That is what happens when you have too much worry of winning on your mind.

  • @sydneymassive Haha I can't even remember commenting on this! Good to see my pain is the highest-voted comment :P

  • lol ridiculous running indeed

  • I remember just after this match donald apologies from south african public and say he dint here klusners call & try to correct the error he done in the last ball by backing up too much, there was lack of communication between two players that cost the game, klusner should chat with donald after field brought up it never happen, if they won this match they would surely beat pakistan more easier than aussies did,, all the best SA for 2011 wc

  • Golden Moments

  • Explain how did Australia get to qualify inspite of this game being a tie. Why not SA?

  • @Bugatti169 because australia had more points in the cup

  • @veltson12345 Then i guess SA were just purely unlucky.

  • @Bugatti169 not really aus won more points... sa lost at least one matchmore than aus

  • @Bugatti169 Not unlucky .South Africa had no one to blame .They were lucky when Lance Klusner was dropped in previous over.It was just Donald and Klusner fault .No luck to be blamed

  • @veltson12345 australia did not have more points then sa it was a semi final. points had nothing to do with it,australia beat them in the supersix, top six played each other and the top 4 from that played in the semi's if sa had of beat aussies they would of went through.

  • @Bugatti169 aus qualified for the final because they had defeated SA in the super 6's....the '99 world cup had this as a rule if it came to a tie in a knock-out match...the super 6's match in question is the one where gibbs infamously "dropped the world cup"

  • FUCKING DONALD

  • Why Donald ? Why? why didnt u run?

  • @yagers281989 2 more balls,,,,,klusner didn't cal d run.....donald ws lukin at d ball ...right thing to doooo........

  • so a tie?

  • australia never deserve 1999 world cup!

  • "oh fuck it"

  • The Saffie cheats didn't deserve to win

  • @1995lukeya

    Just like to point out that Australia were involved bribery in 1998 before this world cup. So really neither deserved to win?

  • fuck donald,,,,

  • Klusner was already going home!! He just walks off after that strike.

  • Man this is the match that got me interested in cricket. What drama....and a completely needless choke by SA! Easily the strongest SA team that has entered a world tournament. They had pretty much every base covered....except the mental aspect.

  • SA are chokers

  • @stiffyn1 - just like in the 2007 rugby world cup eh?

  • @kyleross182 chokers in cricket it must be said but in rugby the chokers tag has to go to new zealand

  • the match was fixed

  • i bet u lowlife indian thought Australia would lose ??

  • @shrestha841 at shrestha .. nepali bastard ???? have u even got a local team playing up there ??

    huh , fuckin security gorkha's !!! hahahaha

  • @naheedwaseem

    hey u racist mother fucking indian !

  • @shrestha841 u c , v speak truth , and u cant argue us lmao !!! answer what i wrote up there ...

  • @naheedwaseem u slum lover telling me answer ur pathetic racist question.....?? look at ur english.......so embarrassing to English language !! u indians r nothing but a filthy , dirty , disgusting , bottom feeding piece of road-kill in the trash !! saale dhoti......

  • @shrestha841 whatever...

  • @naheedwaseem bolti bandh ??

  • @shrestha841 Have you heard that proverb , the one that goes "Never argue with a fool, they will lower you to their level and then beat you because they are more experienced at it" !! It's the same with you.. I said earlier , you cant argue me .. all you can talk is trash ...

  • @naheedwaseem Just pointing out that it's "you can't argue *with* me". I totally support what you're saying though.

  • @Needakoof there is a difference between giving away pitch information and deliberately losing matches

  • Why did he run? Cunt

  • Was I the only one rooting for Aus here? I wanted them to win after their comeback in the group stages/ Super Sixes.

  • I heard teh Wc final was fix against pakistan, im sure pakistani were payed off. i heard.

  • @hairyhog69 : no one gives a f**k about you or Pakistan . Pakistan self destruct on their

    own without any outside help.

  • NO ONE BELIEVES ME!

    The week before this game I had a dream that Australia would tie against South Africa in the semi via a run out!

    I wrote a letter to Damien Flemming telling him to roll the ball to Gilchrist instead of throwing it! Cause if he threw it, Gilly would of missed it!

    Flemming sent me a letter via express later telling me that my letter won Australia the world cup!

    I'm serious!!!

    Oh! I once flew before! It was olny like 3secs but it happened!

  • Wow nice bro

  • Thats some great bullshitting there

  • @Costo08 It's not that noone believes you, its that noone gives a fuck

  • Aww man that suucks for South Africa

  • A houdini escape. Just amazing for Aust after the drama in the Super 6 game with the dropped catch. Great moment.

  • it was destined for aussies to win that world cup

  • i was watching this match live, it was worst moment,

  • Did Donald get dropped for that? He bloody well deserved to!

  • that first 4 he hit.. WHOAH.. all u see is dust come out of the pitch n the ball flies off like a rocket..

  • I still remember the news paper article - i have it in a scrapbook somewhere - the headline was "Donald Ducks Blame" - still laugh about it

  • This is one of the worst moments of my life. I remember it and always will.

  • @DanTheMusoMan sucked in

  • @DanTheMusoMan - It was one of the best moments of my life. I will always remember it! Sorry :0)

  • @DanTheMusoMan This is one of the best moments of my life. I remember it and always will.

    :-D

  • i still cry today over this

  • this one if the most shocking moments ever happened in the world of cricket.watever how klusners career got faded is  a so sob story ,,

  • Brilliant match, pity the final that followed was soooooo boring.

  • i felt like crying aftr the finish

  • i DID cry!

  • what a match! what a finish..

  • WHY DIDNT YOU RUN?!

  • Lance Klusner has zulu power..!!

    thanks for the upload. i was looking for it
