He hit a boundary off the last ball to fashion a memorable win for Australia against West Indies in 1996. He also made a brilliant century while batting with the tailenders against New Zealand in 2002 and ultimately won the match for Australia.
Bevan was also instrumental in Australia’s 2 wicket win over England in the 2003 World Cup as he had a 60 run partnership with Andrew Bichel for the 9th wicket. There are dozens of such instances when Bevan won the game for Australia from a very tricky situation.
He was a part of 3 World Cup winning teams for Australia. He also scored 6912 runs in 232 matches at an unbelievable average of 53.6. He also remained a very useful chinaman bowler and took 36 wickets.
