Fast bowler Andy Bichel was told about his inclusion in place of the injured Jason Gillespie only the night before Australia's clash with England in the 2003 World Cup at Port Elizabeth. And the Queenslander couldn't wait to set foot on St George's Park.

Australia did not have the best of starts as they could only claim the first wicket of the game after England progressed to 66. That first wicket was that of southpaw Nick Knight, who spooned one to Damien Martyn at widish first slip. Six runs later, Adam Gilchrist didn't have to move to accept Michael Vaughan's snick behind the wicket.
