Action from the exciting super 8 game in the 1999 World Cup that Australia had to win.

Herschelle Gibbs scored a century but droped a crucial catch with a casual approach.

Chasing a stiff target of 272, Australia had to win to progress to the semi finals.

Captain Steve Waugh was on 56 and when he offered a simple chance to Herschelle Gibbs at mid-wicket. Gibbs caught it but in his haste to throw it up in celebration, dropped the ball.
