Absolutely right,there will never be such a beautiful world cup because those things are no longer exist,those players, those crowd,those beautiful and green grounds,those fast pictches,beautiful dresses of teams.Particularly then beauty and the greenry of the grounds.
You've forgotten the fact that there was a balance between bat and ball back then. It has shifted slowly but surely towards the batsmen purely for commercial purpose. Cricket died decades ago.
An international umpire shouldn't be getting decisions like that wrong. It was a clear edge from the batsman and I bet Aldridge felt a bit daft when he saw a replay of it!!
Southafrica since their reincarnation into cricket in 1992 were a very dangerous formidable side. From 92 untill 99 they were really unbeatable be it in their home or playing away from home. Late legendary Hansie cronje had the best ever cricketing skills & mind in the world. Being a batsman could read the bowlers mind & produce an unbelievable innings, same being a bowler would make inroads & plan the batsman very smartly to get him out, being a captain would easily master the weakness of opposition teams. But unluckily the scandal caught him. Almost every player were mentally & physically tough. Each teams used to fear them. Their batting, bowling or unbelievable fielding it was a treat to watch. 92, 96 & 99 were truly southafrica worldcups. Just were unlucky with the duckworth lewis rule in 92 semifinals against england which went against southafrica & loss against silly windies in 96 wc quarter finals cuz some dubious decisions went agsinst southafrica & the unforgettable klusener donald terrible mix up in 99 wc semi-finals against australia. Love from INDIA.
I remember this match so well. I took the day off work to watch it on satellite TV at my parent's house. After so many years of isolation, we Saffas were starved of good competition. And we showed how good we were, blasting the hosts away in our first game. We could have, and should have, got to the final. Alas, that's still a dream.....
Yeah bro. First ever color kits in WC was introduced, its song was awesome and some matches played in D&N... The 1992 WC was the best among all... Yes, I agree 💯
I was at the game with my brother - I remember saying if SA win I’ll buy their shirt and I did. SA had lots of great competitors , like Adrian Kuiper ; Kepler ; Allan Donald
What a powerful team this was! Just look at the bowlers: Donald, Pringle. Snell, Macmillan, Kuiper, Cronje! Batsmen Wessels, Hudson, Peter Kirsten, Cronje, Kuiper, Rhodes, MacMillan, Richardson! Add in Jonty at cover point, wow!
Yeh you are so right but my all time BEST of BEST commentators are TONY GREIG and BILL LAWRY and the BEST EVER world cup is of 92' and it's the start to love and play cricket so far. Hope we have the similarities as 92 BENSON AND HEDGES WORLD CUP✍🙏🤲♥️✌👌🥇🏏🏆🏅⚾️⚾️🏏🏏 🇦🇺🇳🇿🇿🇦 🇮🇳🇵🇬🇱🇰🇵🇰🏴
I following up cricket since this cricket WC 1992...On those days we had black & white TV...So we watched all matches of India and Final PAKvs ENG on neighbor's Color TV....In this WC92 every team are wearing colorful Jersey...That looks fantabulous on TV as well as green , clean grounds, Awesome & cheerful Audience at Australia and NZ also D/N matches...Everything is special about that WC1992...Missing those golden era of cricket.

I was in 4th standard and i remember this match. Bensons and Hedges World Cup 1992. Allan Border was out for zero and a cartoon duck flashed on screen when he returned to the pavilion
Alan Donald would have been the First South African Bowler to Take a Wicket on His Very First Ball in One Day Cricket Format Only if Umpire's Eye Sight and Reflexes were OK or the Option of Referring to the Third Umpire was under effect in those days.
RSA s bad luck started with the first ball & it continued till the last ball of their superb wc 1992 journey😏😒😑. On the other hand Pakistan became 1992 wc champ with favour of luck mostly( they should accept and say thanks ro rain god which take them throught to semi final & which also stopped RSA to entrr in the final😝👌🤗🤐) . undoubtedly RSA was best team in 1992 wc.
South Africa and New Zealand were strong contenders for this world cup but unfortunately they couldn't hold their nerves in the semis and were eliminated.
I always think of this match whenever I hear Aussies giving it to Stuart Broad for not walking in 2013. Both Marsh and Jones were guilty of it here, but of course there's total amnesia of it, and of Michael Clarke at Adelaide in 2011. Bless 'em.
Thanks for this - excellent video quality. I have some old VHS recordings but nice to see the game in good resolution. Love the way that the South Africans were a mystery team at this world cup. "I'm told that Jonty Rhodes is a good cover point fieldsman" - haha, understatement of the century
Yeah, that's right... One day sides in those days were just the test side wearing coloured clothing. The whole idea of specialist ODI players was unheard of. Imagine, we even had Geoff Boycott playing ODI cricket! Even in test cricket, 2 runs per over wasn't uncommon. Then the aussies changed all that in the 90's & 2000's, when 4 runs per over wasn't unusual.
You've forgotten the fact that there was a balance between bat and ball back then. It has shifted slowly but surely towards the batsmen purely for commercial purpose. Cricket died decades ago.
@@shubhranshubasistha9002 yes, you're right... The paying public these days want to see big hitting, not great bowling necessarily. So the rules changed. Purists want an even duel, but that is a dying breed. To be fair, limited overs cricket had to evolve, much like test cricket, so the early players were happy with 3, 4, perhaps 5 runs per over. Now 6 is considered minimum. T20 watchers expect 10. True.. When big money got in on the act, everything changed..
@@markdoolan6149 It was Martin Crowe who changed the perception about how the openers should play and take the advantage of field restrictions till first 15 overs during those days. Srilanka in 1996 added another dimension to that approach.
Again this is why his the best man and captain that coudve led us in this new age. He stops Tony to say. Thanks to his oppisition Captain that was his team mate and adopted country. He thanks his god. He had character and humility even being a strict tough strong leader.
1996 cricket world cup is the most unique world cup ever played among the 19 cricket world cups till date ( including 7 T20 world cups). Below are few facts : 1. Only world cup to be won by a co-host nation. Sri Lanka won final in Lahore and not on home soil 2. Only final in which both captains were left handed batsman 3. Only final match to be held in pakistan 4. Pakistan is the only country which hosted a world cup final without hosting a semi final match !!!! 5. Only final to have a century in a success full chase. Arvinda di silva scored 107. 6. Only time world cup trophy was handed over by head of a state. Benazir bhutto the then PM of Pakistan handed over the trophy to arjuna ranatunga. 7. 1996 world cup is the only tournament in which both finalists despite being in the same group never faced each other in earlier stages of the tournament. Australia did not go to sri lanka for its pool game due to security reasons and sri lanka was given 2 default points 8. Arvinda di silva is the most productive man of match player with 107 runs 3 wickets n 2 catches 9. Sanath jayasurya is the least productive all rounder to win player of series award 10. Only world cup final among the 4 final match appearances of Glen McGrath where he went wicketless 11. Only 50 over world cup match till date in which sri lanka beat Australia 12. Only World cup when India played at Eden Gardens Calcutta in 50 over world cup !!!! 13. Only 50 over world cup in which West indies lost a semi final match 14. 1996 was the last time West indies reached semi final stage in 50 over world cup 15. Ind vs Sri Lanka semi final, only test or odi in history which was awarded due to rioting crowd !! 16. Only World Cup in sub continent when India did not host the final match. 17. Only World Cup final in which Glen McGrath and Shane warne went wicketless 18. Only World cup where all semi finalists belonged to same group
theballackfan 13 it was real good then, ( not because of my childhood) peaceful, prosperous, economy was good, people loved sports, we were world champions in cricket, hockey, squash, snooker. Things have drastically changed for us after 9/11.
Kepler Wessels 81 n.o. off 145 balls and he gets man of the match!!!!!! Donald 3-34 off 10 overs should have been m-o-t-m. Those were the days when strike rates of 50-60 were good enough lol
Looking at the county championship scorecards in the 80's I'd see all these run machines like McEwan, Wessels, Cook, Barlow, Rice, Proctor & wonder why the selectors didn't pick them. Always the same answer. We nicked some but I was really looking forward to seeing these mysterious , previously banned cricketers. All with British names except the fantastically named Hansie Cronje. They put a caption up reading Wessel Cronje & I thought he had a twin.
@@Steveaustin007 Both Rice and Cook went on the short tour to India in late 91 and did not perform well. Despite the clamour from their fans at home, this had come a few years too late for them to still be effective to any extent at intl level. Peter Kirsten was a few years younger and was still able to be a valuable contriboutor for those vital first few years. Wessels was 34-35 so still had some good years left
I really like SA ,specially for the first time i had seen in 92 world cup. Kepler Wessels, R.P Snell, Myreick Pringle, Allan Donald, Brian McMillan etc class players.
How the Aussies ,defending champions and hosts didnt make the last 4 in 92 beats me. Burnt out after a long summer playing ind n windies , also one thinks they never got their best XI through the tournament. They did have probably one of the top 2 teams along with WI in 92 but both the teams just could not get their act together
For World Cups may come and World Cups may go, but the '92 WC will remain the best!!!
Very True...It was absolutely a thrilling tournament ever in many respects...
Best wc tournament ever Australian made & Song was amazing 👏
I think the 2015 World Cup was also great.
Absolutely right,there will never be such a beautiful world cup because those things are no longer exist,those players, those crowd,those beautiful and green grounds,those fast pictches,beautiful dresses of teams.Particularly then beauty and the greenry of the grounds.
1992 was by far tge best ODI CWC
World saw a revolution in cricket which came in the form of South African fielding.
Richie and Tony Greig two legendary commentators sitting together. Awesome👏
What a memorable game that was !
I was the student of grade 9.
Cricket was at its best.
South Africa's bad luck with that first ball ever in a world cup, still haunts them. Incredible!
You've forgotten the fact that there was a balance between bat and ball back then. It has shifted slowly but surely towards the batsmen purely for commercial purpose. Cricket died decades ago.
@@shubhranshubasistha9002 Yeah, I stopped watching Cricjet the day Sachin retired, Cricket is a Fucking JOKE now....
I remember that so clearly, we all went crazy. The disappointment and then disbelief that the ref could have possibly missed it. Terrible.
An international umpire shouldn't be getting decisions like that wrong. It was a clear edge from the batsman and I bet Aldridge felt a bit daft when he saw a replay of it!!
@@mrkipling2201Kepler Wessels’s said he apologised to them the following over … first ball nerves .. South African won by 9 wickets at the end
It took nearly 47 overs to chase the small target. What a great game it was! Those days bowlers were stronger than batsmen. Golden era of cricket
Right 💯✅
Rules were different in those days. I think there was no limit of bouncers per over in 1990s.

Yes south Africans were the most talented players in the world. They didn't seem to be new. Sad that they couldn't win any world cup
1 1 you are right
So true
92 and 99 perhaps but Lara just took them by storm in 96. Very few teams could have dealt with that
Yes loved the array of talent from South Africa in the 90s.
One correction is that in 1992 it was the Rain rule and not Duckworth Lewis method.
Andrew Hudson was underrated, he was brilliant 👏, South Africa 🇿🇦 was Champ team 👏
His test average was only 33.4 and his ODI average was 29.4, hardly underrated.
@@fomofud9479 he was already aged by the time he got into ODI . Much like Peter Kirsten who was also amazingly talented
An amazing moment for South Africa, and for people like me who love South African people

Yeah bro. First ever color kits in WC was introduced, its song was awesome and some matches played in D&N... The 1992 WC was the best among all... Yes, I agree 💯
I was at the game with my brother - I remember saying if SA win I’ll buy their shirt and I did.
SA had lots of great competitors , like Adrian Kuiper ; Kepler ; Allan Donald
32 years ago.. the whole of South Africa was excited that morning at 5:30 am
What a powerful team this was! Just look at the bowlers: Donald, Pringle. Snell, Macmillan, Kuiper, Cronje! Batsmen Wessels, Hudson, Peter Kirsten, Cronje, Kuiper, Rhodes, MacMillan, Richardson! Add in Jonty at cover point, wow!
Their 1975 team would have been far stronger had they been in the first world cup.
Even though a lot of world cup passed after 1992, but still most of the cricket lovers prefer 1992 as best
Could you please upload india vs aus.i want to see that last ball climax
Correct mate !!Superbly designed jersies would be one of the reasons
Allan Donald's pace was insane!

Best world cup ever with respect to quality of cricket and competitiveness. Just lacked viv Richards waqar younus saeed Anwar and Gordon greenidge.
Yes sir
First ball - dead out!!!!!!
R.i.p
Seems like the Aussies dont like walking when they out.
That's what I remember from that match - as out as ever was. The fault lies with the umpire, who knew it was out..
And that unlickiness still haunt South Africa
@Judgement A Come c'mon... An aussie walk???

Both greig and bill lawery are my all-time favourite commentator
92 WC was SA's cup , they were the best team with 7-8 all rounders and excellent bowling attacke. But DL killed them..
DL wasn't there in 1992. And England were more deserving in that SF
@@paragshirwadkar5094 Parag , DL only spoilt the match and SA came back to bat and were given I think 21 to be scored off 1 ball. Check highlights
@@mink186 it was a different rain rule used in that world cup. DL came later
wow,shocking decision first ball,maybe the umpire was still waking up.
I was there - you could hear the Knick in the crowd
He admitted later he froze. Silly boy.

Change in dress n ball in1992 wc was the turning point in world cricket 👍🏾
People are attracted towards cricket nd day nite games🙏
Brilliant production it is
Just look at the bloody outfield,how big it is. Today’s sixes are mostly outs. And how fast is the pitch.
very interesting match. kepler wessels magnificient
I was only 2 then. But the SA team that I started watching still had three players from this side. Hansie, Alan, Jonty.
RSA s bad luck started with the first ball & it continued till the last ball of their superb wc 1992 journey😏😒😑.

NZ was probably the best team. And Pakistan played really well in semis (especially beating NZ) and finals to win the World Cup.
South Africa and New Zealand were strong contenders for this world cup but unfortunately they couldn't hold their nerves in the semis and were eliminated.
SA fell victim to strange dwls
And NZ to a awesome innings by Inzamam
Please explain how SA could not hold their nerve when the target in the semi was reduced from 22 off 13 to 22 off 1. How is that earthly possible
South Africa should have won this world Cup more obviously than 1999 . 13 balls 22 runs, they would have beat England and thrashed pak in the final
BRILLIANT upload! Please, some more

Greatest world cup ever. When cricket was still cricket
World Cup 1992, the most interesting 🏏 world cup of the cricket history ever.
Yea that was a wicket first ball.
I remember this game.
This WC got me hooked on the game. New Zealand played good
1996 cricket world cup is the most unique world cup ever played among the 19 cricket world cups till date ( including 7 T20 world cups). Below are few facts :
1. Only world cup to be won by a co-host nation. Sri Lanka won final in Lahore and not on home soil
2. Only final in which both captains were left handed batsman
3. Only final match to be held in pakistan
4. Pakistan is the only country which hosted a world cup final without hosting a semi final match !!!!
5. Only final to have a century in a success full chase. Arvinda di silva scored 107.
6. Only time world cup trophy was handed over by head of a state. Benazir bhutto the then PM of Pakistan handed over the trophy to arjuna ranatunga.
7. 1996 world cup is the only tournament in which both finalists despite being in the same group never faced each other in earlier stages of the tournament. Australia did not go to sri lanka for its pool game due to security reasons and sri lanka was given 2 default points
8. Arvinda di silva is the most productive man of match player with 107 runs 3 wickets n 2 catches
9. Sanath jayasurya is the least productive all rounder to win player of series award
10. Only world cup final among the 4 final match appearances of Glen McGrath where he went wicketless
11. Only 50 over world cup match till date in which sri lanka beat Australia
12. Only World cup when India played at Eden Gardens Calcutta in 50 over world cup !!!!
13. Only 50 over world cup in which West indies lost a semi final match
14. 1996 was the last time West indies reached semi final stage in 50 over world cup
15. Ind vs Sri Lanka semi final, only test or odi in history which was awarded due to rioting crowd !!
16. Only World Cup in sub continent when India did not host the final match.
17. Only World Cup final in which Glen McGrath and Shane warne went wicketless
18. Only World cup where all semi finalists belonged to same group
I was just 7 then, remember Pak vs Aus match. Good old days. 👌
Shams Hassan how was the life in Pakistan back then?
theballackfan 13 it was real good then, ( not because of my childhood) peaceful, prosperous, economy was good, people loved sports, we were world champions in cricket, hockey, squash, snooker. Things have drastically changed for us after 9/11.
Shams Hassan I hope it gets better
If anyone think why we need a third umpire in cricket, the first ball tells you why.
Kepler Wessels 81 n.o. off 145 balls and he gets man of the match!!!!!! Donald 3-34 off 10 overs should have been m-o-t-m. Those were the days when strike rates of 50-60 were good enough lol
Neville Menezes Yeah when anything above 220 was considered a good score. How things have changed. Now they'd knock it over in 30 overs
The best WC matches......

All this years South Africa's team is weirdest team in cricket sport they look strong in the paper but somehow can't deliver in big stage
170 looks like so many runs to get back then. Must have been a lot of blocking going on in between the 4's.
Allan Donald such a beautiful action! a legend and a focal point.
Batter reaction says it all. If he looks immediately back after nicking the ball, he prays umpire doesn't detect the edge.😂
Even in 2023 WC, no indian ground holds the beauty of the 1992 SCG. We are 100 years behind the Australian cricket
Yes
I really like SA ,specially for the first time i had seen in 92 world cup.
Kepler Wessels, R.P Snell, Myreick Pringle, Allan Donald, Brian McMillan etc class players.
How the Aussies ,defending champions and hosts didnt make the last 4 in 92 beats me.
