4 Of the best bowling spells in World Cups

#4 7/20 by Andy Bichel versus England in the 2003 World Cup

2003 World Cup was going to be a tough challenge for Australia with two of their main players: Shane Warne and Darren Lehmann. However, the commitment levels that Australians show is unmatched. They have a tendency to find new heroes in every tough situation.

One of those heroes was Andy Bichel in the 2003 World Cup game against England. Bichel was carrying drinks for the most part of the tournament. However, Australian teams have always ensured that their bench-strength is as strong as the eleven playing on the field.

Andy Bichel finally got a go in a game that England needed to win to make it to the Super Six. It got off to a brisk start of 66/0. That's when Bichel came and destroyed the English batting order. England lost 3 wickets in 8 balls and could never recover from that shock.

It managed its way through to 204 which was below-par total. Bichel's figures still remain the second-best figures in World Cup history. However, that day belonged to Bichel because of heroics not only with the ball but also with the bat.

Australia were crushed and reduced to 135/8 chasing down the score. A win seemed unlikely. That's when he stitched a 73-run stand with Michael Bevan and finished the game off in style which ended England's World Cup hopes in 2003.
