"It was an unnecessary, flamboyant lapse which could yet determine the destiny of the Cup. Instead of holding on to the ball, [Herschelle] Gibbs, in trying to throw it up in triumph, lost control and Waugh batted on... and on."

South African newspaper the "Mercury", after a dropped catch allowed Steve Waugh's match-winning innings for Australia.
