You are a great cricket fan- much greater than me. Pakistan made it to the finals in 1999 world cup. Its another matter that India did manage to beat them in a Round 2 match.
A great description.

Thanks, Yeah Pakistan did make it to the finals of 1999 world cup final but there they were badly defeated by the Aussies.But if you check world cups history. In 1996 Sri Lanka defeated Australia in finals of ICC world cup, 1999 pakistan beaten by Austrlia in finals.In 2003 India beaten by Australia in finals and then again Sri Lanka beaten by Australia in 2007 World cup finals. So Australia were involved in back to back 4 world cup finals and in the latest also in 2015 Australia has beaten New Zealand in World cup final.
