Andy Bichel of Australia celebrates the wicket of Michael Vaughan of England

Andy Bichel made his debut for the Australia in the year 1997 against West indies and grabbed his first wicket in the third over of his first spell. However, he failed to cement his place in the Australian team. He made a comeback in the year 2002 and became a vital asset for the Kangaroos owing to of his all-round abilities.

It was in the 37th match of the 2003 edition of the ICC Cricket World Cup when he deceived the English batsmen with his pace and seam movement. The England innings collapsed from 66/0 to 87/5 in just eight overs.

Bichel finished with the figures of 7/20 in his 10 overs, restricting England to a below par score of 204. However, the English bowler bowled superbly and Aussies were reeling at 135/8 before Bichel stitched an unbeaten partnership of 73 runs for the 9th wicket, guiding his team to an impossible win.
