St George's Park in Port Elizabeth was the venue for the first semi final match of World Cup 2003. Australian skipper Ricky Ponting won the toss and elected to bat first on a track that was not exactly great for free stroke-play. In the second over of the game, bowled by Gunaratne, Adam Gilchrist hit a boundary and flicked a sweetly timed six over the deep square leg fence. Jayasuriya brought Aravinda de Silva in to bowl the sixth over. There was high drama off the very second ball of that over; Gilchrist went for a sweep, Sangakkara took the catch behind the stumps, and umpire Rudi Koertzen turned the appeal down. Gilchrist knew that he had got some bat on it, and immediately walked back to the pavilion.
