World Cup memory
Lot to Crowe about in Auckland

The late Martin Crowe was a man on a mission in 1992. As skipper, he made it his business to ensure New Zealand gave it everything to clinch world cricket's biggest prize after being semi-finalists in the first two editions of the World Cup. In the tournament opener at Auckland, he opened the bowling with Dipak Patel who sent back Australian captain Allan Border while bowling his miserly brand of off-spin. But Crowe's brilliance came to the fore even before he stunned pundits with his innovation – through a blinder which had the Australian bowlers clueless. Crowe walked in with the scoreboard reading 13 for two.
