My best memory of the World Cup is obviously our win against Australia in the final.To become world champions in front of our home crowd was truly special and it wasNew Zealand’s first world title as well – Australia and England had scrapped for itin the previous World Cups.The match went down to the wire. Australia needed five runs to win andwe needed one wicket. Offspinner Clare Nicholson came to bowl the final over andCharmaine Mason edged the first ball to our keeper, Rebecca Rolls.All I rememberafter that is throwing my cap into the crowd during the celebrations and feeling gutted that I had justthrown my New Zealand cap away! I still haven’t recovered it, obviously.That win wasthe best highlight of my career to date.
