Top 5 game-changing run-outs of all time

#1 Allan Donald v Australia, World Cup 1999, Leeds

The most famous World Cup moment

This was a run-out that not only changed the game and a World Cup tournament, but the fortunes of an excellent cricket team that have not quite been able to shake off the after-effects of what happened on that summer evening at Headingley, Leeds.

In a see-sawing game that is often regarded as the best World Cup game ever played, the final equation came down to South Africa needing nine off the last over. Klusener, the eventual Man of the Tournament was on strike and Allan Donald, the last man remaining, was at the other end.

Klusener banged the first two deliveries for fours to tie the scores but that wasn't good enough since they had lost the Super Six game against Australia a few days earlier. Steve Waugh brought the field in and it seemed Donald was in a complete panic as he jumped out of the crease off the very next ball to somehow survive when the fielder failed to hit the stumps.

However, off the next ball, Donald seemed to pay no heed to Klusener and started running straight away. He was run out and South Africa ended up with nothing even though they had notched up the same total. The South Africans took 16 years to reach another World Cup semi-final.
