Tom Moody Reflects on 1999 World Cup Win

As Tom Moody prepares to coach the Oval Invincibles in The Hundred final at Lord's, he reflects on Australia's iconic 1999 Cricket World Cup victory at the same venue. Moody recalls that despite entering the tournament as favorites, Australia struggled initially, facing losses against New Zealand and Pakistan before bouncing back to win the title. In the final, Australia defeated Pakistan by eight wickets, led by stellar performances from Shane Warne and Adam Gilchrist. Moody fondly remembers the team celebrating post-victory by singing their traditional song, 'Beneath the Southern Cross', with Ricky Ponting taking the lead. His recollections highlight the emotional journey and the camaraderie within the team during that memorable campaign. Now, Moody aims to replicate that success with the Invincibles as they vie for consecutive titles.
