Australia themselves had a Gibbsque effort before in World Cup.
“Mine was an interesting one. I nicked it first ball. Marshy went to throw it in
the air in celebration and it dropped on the ground. The umpire gave me not
out and I was surrounded by Australian players who mentioned quite a few
things about me and my family before telling me I should be leaving the
field. I said: "What do you want me to do? He dropped it and now I've been
given not out." Then they surrounded the square-leg umpire and all I saw
was his finger raised above their heads”. No video recording was done for
this match of 1983 World Cup. So this story was unearthed only few years
back when the victim himself told it in an interview.
Id this cricketer who won multiple Man of the Match awards in World Cups
for loosing causes.

He could have been out first ball. Tinashe , who had already bowled his opening
partner for a duck, curled one into him and bellowed in appeal for LBW. Steve
Davis said not out. We don't know for sure, but he may have suspected an inside
edge. The fielding captain reviewed the decision. There was no inside edge. But
Hawkeye suggested the ball would have gone on to hit the upper half of the bails.
Umpire's call. It easily could have been 1 for 2. But due to this lucky survival he
achieved something first in the history of World Cup & later in the same innings
he was involved in a World Record which still stands.
Id him (5 points). What did he achieve first which was repeated only once since
then in World Cup/what is this World Record all about (any one of the two feats
for 5 points more)?

X & Y met each other in the inaugural match of the 2005 ICC Trophy (World Cup
Qualifier). X won the match narrowly by just 2 runs. But Y put in a protest,
claiming that the scoring in the 45th over was wrong & they had actually won.
The ICC Trophy Technical Committee had ruled that there will be no change to the
result of the match as the match was already over & the umpires didn’t complain
about it. This controversial victory had given enough momentum to X & they
qualified for the 2007 World Cup while Y missed the qualification. Who knows
what would happen if the result was altered.
Recently in a reverse circumstances Y have gained the ODI status while X missed it
by a whisker.
Id X & Y.

Taking a five wicket haul is something special. But
there are 5 bowlers who took a fifer in a ODI but
never got another chance to play after that feat
(consider who officially retired).
Among those five, top two are even more special as
they did it in a World Cup match. If UAE’s Shaukat
Dukanwala who took it against Netherlands in 1996
is the second in the list then id the former ICC
Match Referee who is at the top. His figure against
Canada in 1979 World Cup reads 10-3-21-5.

Two underdogs of 1987 World Cup were there to face each other at Indore on October

a reserved day, the rain got lighter & water was cleared. But still the condition wasn’t
suitable for playing. Yet both the captains were brave enough to play a curtailed match on
an absolute mud bowl as they couldn’t afford to loose a point. Hence the first ever World
Cup match where both the innings were shortened happened. This 30 overs a side match
produced one of the all time World Cup classics.
Id both the captains who were ready to play at any given conditions.

Australia. After the match he was appreciated by would be
sports minister Steve Tshwete. In the pre internet era, this

In a 2003 World Cup match, midway through the Namibian innings an
automatic sprinkler suddenly popped up out of the ground to give a cooling
spray to anyone within range.
The Wicket-keeper looked on as the groundsman rushed to the middle while
waving frantically to the control room to have the system switched off. The
fielders belong to a country who have years of experience when it comes to
dealing with water where they do not want it. The keeper simply trod on the
sprinkler head and it obligingly went back into the ground.
If the match didn’t continue someone from the fielding side might not
achieve a certain World Cup first. Tilekratne Dilshan later became second
cricketer to do this in World Cup.
