No Shane Warne (banned for a year after consuming a banned substance), no Darren Lehmann (banned for racially abusing SL in the previous series), no Michael Bevan (groin injury). That's how defending champions Australia went into their 2003 World Cup opener against Pakistan at Johannesburg. And then… 86 for four thanks to a three-wicket burst by Wasim Akram.
In comes Andrew 'Roy' Symonds to face an attack which also includes Waqar Younis and Shoaib Akhtar. He gets a bouncer from Waqar first up and nearly drags one to his stumps at 23.
