17 yrs since Gibbs 'dropped the World cup'
Facing Australia in a World Cup 1999 Super Sixes match, South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs dropped Steve Waugh's catch because of celebrating prematurely. Playing on 56, the drop supposedly prompted Waugh to say, "How does it feel to drop the World Cup, Herschelle?" Waugh went on to score 120 ​and led Australia to the World Cup title after knocking out SA.
