Adam Gilchrist celebrates his first hundred in World Cups. He went on to make 149, the highest score in a World Cup final
In 30 previous World Cup innings, Adam Gilchrist had never reached the three-figure mark - his highest had been 99,
against the Sri Lankans in 2003. It seemed the run-out on that occasion would deny him the landmark forever, but in what will almost certainly be his final World Cup innings, Gilchrist conjured up his best display. By the time he was done, he had made the fifth century - and the highest score - in a World Cup final, and had put Australia firmly on the road to a hat-trick of World Cup triumphs.

Australia 281 for 4 (Gilchrist 149) beat Sri Lanka 215 for 8 (Jayasuriya 63, Sangakkara 54) by 53 runs on D/L
Australia put the seal on the most dominant campaign in World Cup history, securing their fourth title and their third in a row since 1999 thanks to Adam Gilchrist's scintillating 149 from 104 balls. But that, sadly, is not what the final of the ICC World Cup West Indies 2007 (to give it its full and fully deserved title) will be remembered for. In a display of cack-handedness that heaped new levels of farce upon a farcical seven weeks, the final overs of a broken contest were played out in near-darkness, penetrated only by the glow of the pavilion lights and the bewildered blinking of 20,000 flash bulbs.
