The public reaction to Australia's World Cup win suggests it was the nation's most cherished sporting triumph since "Australia II" won the America's Cup in 1983. After early defeats against New Zealand and Pakistan, Australia needed to win seven consecutive games to triumph. In these highlights Tim Lane and Jim Maxwell offer a marvellous mix of commentary and interviews from all the lead up matches, the thrilling semi-final against South Africa (considered by many to be the greatest limited-overs international every played) and Australia's ultimate victory in an anti-climactic final against Pakistan, 20 June 1999.
