Ball Pitched way outside Saees anwar's off stump and spun back and hit Saeed leg stump..
Warne at its best..

saqi had taken a huge step out of the crease lekin bayemaan umpires....

havent u seen him in 1999 india series n many other series too ..
wen he gets out , he stares at the umpire like a * bhola bhala * guy ..
bat on his shoulder n confusion on his face ...
yeah this ball was was perhaps the turning point of the second innings, Pak were in the process of building good lead...anwar was playing aussies with great command...by that time his test innings aginst Aus were 85, 87, 75, 30, 32 in 1994 and then 135, 126 in 1998 and the 61 and 119 in 1999 that season....he was p0laying both spin and pace with great stroke play...again coming back to this dismissal, warne was struk for two back to back boundries by anwar, and he decided to go around the wicket to use to rough foot marks created by bowlers. ....it was the very first ball that pitched almost at the edge of the wicket and then spun back into saeed anwar, the impact of ball on to the stupms was so hard that the leg stump was knocked out of the ground as if hit by a fast bowler...that was awsome...one of the most memoriable dismissals of the yr.
The Game Responds:
*Yes, clearly remember that delivery. Saeed had flicked Warne for a six not too long ago before that, but that's the quality Warne has; he keeps coming back at you. And I don't think that was the turning point of the match; Pakistan had still given them over 350 to chase and had them 180 odd for 5 for God's sake! The turning point was the arrival of Gilchrist in the 4th innings. People, That Is All.*
May be the real turning point.

Langer was controversially given not out by umpire Peter Parker, (back to camera) following a delivery from Akram whichwas caught behind by wicketkeeper Moin Khan. Langer was 76 at the time but went on to score 129, sharing a partnership with Adam Gilchrist of 238 runs, was named man of the match
^
actually langer was twice not given out in the match and that was the only reason we lost....
the umpire even confessed the wrong decisions were made on purpose to compensate for the wrong decision he had given against langer in the previous match....
