#Rhodes made his One Day #International début against #Australia in South Africas opening #match of the 1992 #CricketWorldCup at the #Sydney #Cricket #Ground on 26 #February 1992. #Australia batted first, scoring 170, and Rhodes dismissed Craig #McDermott via a run out. #SouthAfrica scored 171 to win the match by nine wickets; Rhodes was not required to bat. #Rhodes shot to fame after South Africas fifth game of the #WorldCup, against #Pakistan on the 8 #March 1992 at the #BrisbaneCricketGround. South Africa #batted first, scoring 211 off 50 overs. #Pakistans innings was reduced to 36 overs because of rain interruptions, with the target revised from 212 to 194 runs. Inzamam-ul-Haq and Pakistan #captain #ImranKhan resumed the innings when play was restarted. With the score at 135/2 Inzamam, who was at the time on 48, set off for a run but was turned back by #Khan. The ball had rolled out towards Rhodes who ran in from backward point, gathered the ball and raced the retreating Inzamam to the #wicket. Rhodes, with #ball in #hand, dived full length to break the stumps and effect the run out. The run out, the subject of a #famous #photograph, is still considered one of the more spectacular feats of that World Cup and the defining moment of Rhodes career.[2][5] Pakistans innings faltered from then on, eventually finishing on 173/8 with South Africa winning by twenty runs.
