Bracken...? Bracken proved Australia's most effective bowler, despite going wicketless, and credited part of his success to modern technology. Bracken was wired up to Channel Nine as part of the network's coverage, and listened closely to the commentators' assessment of the final over.
"Having the commentators in my ear telling me exactly how many they needed and trying to work out what I was bowling was a real help," he said. "I was alright until I was half-way in and I could hear the commentators saying I'd better not bowl a no-ball or a wide. It probably wasn't where I wanted the last ball, but I knew we had enough."
