  2nd One-Day International ( 28 March 2001)

There was high drama in the 30th over! Darren Lehmann (1) pushed the ball to mid-wicket and charged down for a quick single and there was a terrible mix-up. The substitute fielder Yuvraj Singh picked up the ball and threw it to the keeper who disturbed the stumps with both the batsmen stranded in the middle of the pitch. Lehmann sacrificed his wicket and just walked off the ground in a hurry. The kind of team commitment that has made Australians what they are today. It was a remarkable gesture from a player who was making a comeback for the umpteenth number of time into the Australian side. There is indeed honour in playing for the team than for the self!
