It's the game that still defines South Africa's Cricket World Cup experience: the 1999 semifinal defeat to Australia, and that infamous run-out.

The same here! As an 89 born, I moved into tears on that day(it must be around 11:30 PM). Since, India was out of super six, I vehemently supported SA. This runout had totally churned South African cricket in the subsequent years. Had if SA clinched the WorldCup, then I don't think Hansis Cronje would have been involved in the betting affairs. Even after 21 years, it still hurts.

It's not as cut and dried as saying it was AD's fault. The previous ball, Donald was within an inch or two of being run out (by Lehman), so when the ball came back at him on the next delivery, he _had_ to turn to make his ground. His back was to Klusener as he was turning, so he had no idea that Klusener was running. On the other hand, Klusener didn't have to try and run that, as there were two balls left after that. Klusener was definitely in rich form, and he could have scored off either ball. Equally, he could have been out. None of us commenting here have the faintest clue of the amount of pressure those guys were under in that moment. To lay blame is not a very classy thing to do. It was just one of the all time cricket moments. And that's that.

The magnitude of the occasion got on to Allan Donald who instead of looking at the batsman and running was ball watching. One could say, Klusener need not have gone for such a tight single, again the occasion gotten on to him as well. He had 2 more deliveries left and could have avoided such a risky single.

Donald's grace and humility in relation to this is truly epic. He could so easily (and accurately) have said, "Well it was actually a really bad call by Lance." I don't know how Klusener has dodged the blame on this? If the initial flick of the ball at the stumps at the non-striker's end hadn't have missed the stumps (by a few millimetres) then it would have been Klusener who was run-out, which would have been the just outcome, as it was a 5th grade level of a call for a quick single. He paddled the ball straight back down the pitch, for heaven's sake. He left Donald out to dry. Journalists... please stop asking Allan Donald about this run-out. It's so unfair.
