World Cup
Eleven years on after South Africa's first ball in World Cup cricket, following 21 years of isolation, Australian opener Geoff Marsh finally acknowledged that he nicked that delivery from fast bowler Allan Donald to wicket-keeper David Richardson. In the famous encounter at Sydney Cricket Ground on Feb.26 1992, New Zealand umpire Brian Aldridge turned down the appeal for a catch behind off the very first ball of the innings in the day/night encounter. Marsh went on to score 25 runs in a game South Africa won by nine wickets after all. ``I nicked it,'' said Marsh, who now coaches Zimbabwe. ``I nearly fell over when the umpire didn't give me out. I wasn't sure what to do after that. I had these 11 South Africans starring at me. They didn't say anything, but boy you could say they were upset.'' Aldridge recently admitted that he didn't hear the nick.
