@@takagifukugiflathead Did you notice Klusener's running on that last ball? If the ball had hit, he'd have been out by miles. One of the world's best strikers of the ball panicked when faced with getting 1 run off 4 balls. Klusener's choke lost the match, not Donald's running.

SA got saved by luck two times. One- riefel missed klusner catch, second- Donald just survived a run out as fielder missed direct hit..... Luck will not work everytime
This is far bigger. This changed the CRICKET history ever. If SA won. They would have never had the choker tag, they would not have that extra pressure that they always have they could have had won more, had they won this. Aussies might have never dominated the world cricket and never would have won 3 in a row. But who knows? This moment is the biggest WHAT IF in cricket history.
"There it is, this would be out surely , oh its gonna be runout , thats it , South Africa are out , Donald didn't run ...Oh I cannot believe it , Australia go into the world cup final" What a commentary by Bill ! Thats where it all began for Australia 😊
This Match is Iconic n Greatest ODI Match I have ever seen!! When it is 6 wicket down and chasing 100+ runs in 1990s we can tel 9 out of times that team is dead n buried but not SA. They had the Unforgivable Finisher in Klusener. The Final Over was absolutely brutal for both sides as 1st 2 balls went like Tracer bullet to the boundaries and SA need only 1 run from 4 balls. We can clearly see Aussie players r coming to reality from that Onslaught especially Fleming was having Pressure of the Century for an Australian and they r down n totally out.. Now when you have klusener facing 4 balls and 1 run to win all Cricket fans including Aussies will know the game is SA to lose which is what happened due to Height of Pressure faced by Klusener too in finishing the game and for proper lack of communication he should have told Donald before either 3rd ball or 4th ball what he gonna do but he didn't had any communication!! Because what Donald would have thought after seein klusener demolishin Aussie bowlers all around the park is Klusener will hit 4 or 6 but instead he done the unthinkable of taking 1 run which clearly shows Klusener was having more pressure to win than Fleming... In the end as always Aussies held their nerve you can see how all players went to that ball before reaching Gilchrist gloves 😅 thats how badly they want to win and they won the WC cup too in final or else it would have been SA WC for sure!! Commentary was absolute blitz especially Aussie commentator maintainin neutrality n tellin "I Cannot believe it" this sure yeah nobody including Aussie players would have believed 😂

This over was like a canon event for Australian Cricket. They struggled to win here, but after this match, they turned into a cricketing juggernaut for a whole decade.
He didn't because he almost got run out the previous ball. In a vacuum I think he would have been ready to go for that run, but he was extra cautious because he almost cost them the game the previous ball. And I think Klusener was also nervous after that too and rushed for the run without thinking.
@@mayankkumawat8802 no i wont agree,firstly there was lot of dissatisfaction for me as cricket lover for all those extra runs ben stokes got as gift by sheer and strange luck in last few overs.it was more luck than talent that got england d trophy. i wud put 1999 wc semis ahead of it by few yards because aussies espclly with their never give up attitude literally never gaveup even after klusner hitting 2 conscecutive boundaries and reducing target from 9 to 1 in just 2 balls. bevan ,damien and gilly were amazing to bring that runout
@@sagaronline265 1999 WC semi final wouldn't have been tied TWICE even given the chance or super over concept was present. Ben stokes was not given extra runs... thats the rule and that was nobody's mistake. Can't take away Ben stokes brilliant innings just for that 1 incident elemt of luck was in 1999WC semi final too as Donald didn't hear the call and failed to run
@@mayankkumawat8802 donalds not hearing wasnt matter of luck but keeping calm and cool paying attention to fellow batter.and ofcourse u cant take away from aussie super attentive fielding which almost got donald out previous ball.it was this fielding presence of mind by aussies which put pressure on SA and they chhoke as usual under pressure in next ball.they had 3 more deliveries to get that 1 run but they just got nervous because of near runout. i dont say it was anyones mistake but fielder throwing at keepers end and bens bat getting in between and ball goes for four.thats free 4 runs at such crucial moment which england got only by luck otherwise stokes might have been run out and result cud be completely different. another luck stokes got when nz fielder took his catch on boundary and by sheer madness touch boundary rope which again is huge luck for england ,again ben wud be out and england wud be minus 6 runs. england just won by luck than talent.ofcourse they won super over by talent but they got to super over by luck,otherwise with ben stokes wicket match wud be over way early.
This was more of klusener's fault than Donald's. Why would he take that call with 2 balls to go? Gotta admire australia's confidence to win that game even in that situation. This one moment changed the landscape of cricket for the next decade.
this was much much worse. Nothing comes close to the 99 choke. Yea they lost the t20 final also 2 days ago but India played very well - this was just horrid.- absolute suicide done in 99 semi final
SA got two chances, one- catch not taken by rifell, second- Donald just survived a run out as it was not direct hit...... How much you want luck to favour you ? Two time lucky saved you, but it will not save you everytime!
