World Cup Timeline

Andy Bichel runs through England, Boucher turns down a single, and Klusener deals with more disappointment

Kenya shocked Sri Lanka, Gilchrist shocked Australia, Tendulkar tormented Pakistan, and Flower and Olonga took a stand

Fourteen teams competed in an unwieldy schedule that culminated in a high-scoring, one-sided final

England are felled by a 23-year-old

The 1999 World Cup ended several one-day careers

Kenya pull off the mother of all upsets

Bangalore and Kolkata erupt, but in different ways

The silkiness of Waugh, the flashing blade of Lara, and above all the domination of Aravinda

And a disappointing tournament for Wasim, Stewart, Athers and Astle

A shambolic opening ceremony, 15-over exploitation, security-related boycotts, and a semi-final won by default

Waugh aims at the stumps, Rhodes crashes into them, Akram knocks them over

Crowe shows guts, Inzi goes beserk, and Brandes finds a bunny

India's campaign is ended by Steve Waugh and South Africa's by rain

A disappointing World Cup for stalwarts Kapil Dev, Allan Border and Malcolm Marshall

Border led Australia to the trophy all right, but he didn't exactly shine as a batsman

Sandhu and Kapil turn the final around for India

West Indians and Indians stamp their authority on the tournament

Three Aussie warriors go over the hill

No one, including the Indians, thought India would beat West Indies to the title

A poor tournament for India's spinners but a good one for two New Zealander and a Sri Lankan in that team's first World Cup
