Yes! No! Sorry!

10. Jonty Rhodes v Inzamam-ul-Haq

South Africa v Pakistan, Brisbane, ICC World Cup group match 1992

Jonty Rhodes’ gravity-defying run-out to dismiss Inzamam-ul-Haq became the defining image of the 1992 ICC World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. This was the first coloured-clothing world tournament, the first to feature South Africa and the first to play cricket under lights, and Rhodes’ athleticism – sprinting in from backward-point, diving to obliterate the stumps with Inzy short of his ground – became the most potent symbol of cricket’s future.

9. Darren Lehmann v Virender Sehwag Australia v India, Johannesburg, ICC World Cup final 2003

Australia v India, Johannesburg, ICC World Cup final 2003

Chasing 359, India suffered a bad start when they lost Sachin Tendulkar for 4 and Sourav Ganguly for 0. But as long as the enterprising Virender Sehwag was at the crease they were right in the game. He made a bullish 82 from 81 balls but when he hit one to mid-off he didn’t bank on Darren Lehmann scampering in and throwing down the stumps. With Viru’s departure went India’s hopes of an upset.

8. Viv Richards v All of Australia

Australia v West Indies, Lord’s, ICC World Cup final 1975

Viv Richards was just a kid in ’75, stealing the show in the final not with bat – that would come later – but in the field, completing three astonishing run-outs to peg back Australia, removing the opener Alan Turner and the Chappell brothers, an underarm-flick seeing off Ian, before a stunning one-stump direct hit to get rid of Greg. The West Indies would duly claim the inaugural World Cup title.

7. Rohit Sharma & MS Dhoni v Tim Bresnan

India v England, Edgbaston, ICC Champions Trophy final 2013

English fans still have nightmares about their team’s capitulation against an inspired India in the final of the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Seeking a first world 50-over title, England needed 21 from 16 balls with six wickets in hand, before a collapse saw them lose four wickets in eight balls. The last of them was Bresnan’s, who was hit on the pad and dawdled up the pitch for a run that was never on. Rohit Sharma swooped from cover, MS Dhoni was assured with the gloves, and England were sunk.

6. Steve Waugh & David Boon v Bill Athey & John Emburey

Australia v England, Kolkata, ICC World Cup final 1987

It wasn’t only Mike Gatting’s infamous reverse-sweep that cost England the 1987 World Cup final game against Australia in India. There were also two run-outs. First there was No.3 Bill Athey – who having made an anchoring 58 fell shy of a third run after a good throw by Steve Waugh. Then John Emburey fell to the same fate thanks to David Boon – and the heart of England’s chase was gone. Australia won by seven runs for the first of four World Cup titles to date; while for England, it remains the closest they’ve ever come to lifting the trophy.

5. Mark Waugh, Damien Fleming & Adam Gilchrist v Allan Donald & Lance Klusener

Australia v South Africa, Edgbaston, ICC World Cup semi-final 1999

It was already a dramatic finish. A low-scoring game had – thanks to the work of Shane Warne – somehow come down to the wire: at 213-9, South Africa needed one to win, three balls remaining. Lance Klusener, the hard-hitting all-rounder who had wrestled back the advantage for his team, scrambled a full one from Damien Fleming towards mid-off and ran. The only problem? His partner, the No. 11 Allan Donald, didn’t hear him call, turning away to watch the ball instead. Soon, both batsmen were at the same end, Donald finally attempted a forlorn attempt on the striker’s end, without his bat, but fell way short as Adam Gilchrist removed the bails to secure the tie Australia needed to reach the final. Yellow shirts swarmed in glee and the Aussie juggernaut was unstoppable, steamrolling Pakistan in the final.

And here's four from this tournament's run-out fest…

4. Mosaddek Hossain & Shakib Al Hasan v Kane Williamson

Bangladesh v New Zealand, Cardiff, ICC Champions Trophy group match 2017

The moment that turned the match. Williamson had been immaculate, until on 58 he was sent back by Ross Taylor. Turning to recover his ground at the non-striker’s end, he sprawled to make his ground but the throw had already overtaken him, Shakib athletically gathering Mosaddek’s attempted shy and springing back to flatten the stumps and with it, any momentum the Kiwis had created. Bangladesh were back in the match; a few hours later they would take the spoils.

3. Bhuvneshwar Kumar v Kusal Mendis

India v Sri Lanka, The Oval, ICC Champions Trophy group match 2017

Kusal Mendis had played beautifully for 89, before a brilliant direct hit from Bhuvi Kumar off his own bowling left him well short of his ground. At that moment, it looked as if Sri Lanka’s unlikely run-chase would hit the skids, but Mendis’ disappointment at falling just short of a maiden century in a world tournament would be short-lived, as his ice-cool skipper Angelo Mathews steered his team home.

2. Hardik Pandya & MS Dhoni v AB de Villiers

India v South Africa, The Oval, ICC Champions Trophy group match 2017

AB was just getting going when Faf du Plessis called him through for a tight single. Despite the dive, Pandya’s fluid one-motion pick-up and underarm flick into Dhoni's gloves left the South Africa skipper an inch short. Disaster for the Proteas...

1. Jasprit Bumrah & Virat Kohli v David Miller

India v South Africa, The Oval, ICC Champions Trophy group match 2017

...And the self-inflicted implosion was complete when, five balls later, a farcical mix-up between Faf and new man David Miller saw both men scrabbling to make their ground at the same end, as the ball was gently lobbed to the vacated non-striker’s end, where Kohli did the rest. If ever a single moment summed up a team’s garbled mind-state, it was this.
