Cricket World Cup History - 3 players of Associate Nations who will always be remembered

#2 Dwayne Leverock

Who can forget this man?

Bermuda made history by qualifying for the Cricket World Cup in 2007. As West Indies hosted the tournament, the Bermudans got good support from the fans at stadiums. They were a part of Group B along with three Asian countries in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and India.

The debutants failed in their first World Cup match against Sri Lanka. However, they entered the field with a positive attitude against India. While bowling first, they conceded 3 runs in the first over before a young 17-year-old fast bowler, Malachi Jones made his dream come true by sending Indian opener Robin Uthappa back to the pavilion, on his first ball he bowled in the World Cup.

What was extraordinary about this wicket was the fielder who took the catch, Dwayne Leverock. The huge Bermudan pulled off the catch of the decade while fielding at the first slip versus India. The entire Bermudan unit could not believe it as they celebrated the wicket as if they had won the match.

Leverock was a left-arm orthodox spin bowler who represented Bermuda in 11 ODIs. He had seized the headlines by picking the wickets of Paul Collingwood and Kevin Pietersen in the warm-up match versus England. But, this catch gave him the attention that every cricketer wants.
