1999 Constituent National Assembly, Indigenous rights
The indigenous peoples in Venezuela make up only around 1.5% of the population nationwide, though the proportion is nearly 50% in Amazonas state. Prior to the creation of the 1999 constitution, legal rights for indigenous peoples were increasingly lagging behind other Latin American countries, which were progressively enshrining a common set of indigenous collective rights in their national constitutions. The 1961 constitution had actually been a step backward from the 1947 constitution, and the indigenous rights law foreseen in it languished for a decade, unpassed by 1999.


1999 Constituent National Assembly, Indigenous rights
Ultimately the constitutional process produced "the region's most progressive indigenous rights regime". Innovations included Article 125's guarantee of political representation at all levels of government, and Article 124's prohibition on "the registration of patents related to indigenous genetic resources or intellectual property associated with indigenous knowledge." The new constitution followed the example of Colombia in reserving parliamentary seats for indigenous delegates (three in Venezuela's National Assembly); and it was the first Latin American constitution to reserve indigenous seats in state assemblies and municipal councils in districts with indigenous population.

1999 Cook Islands parliamentary term referendum
A referendum on reducing the term length of Parliament from five to four years was held in the Cook Islands on 16 June 1999.

The change was approved by 64.5% of voters, but this was below the two-thirds majority required to modify the constitution. A second referendum in 2004 was passed by the majority required.

The 1999 World Cup featured 12 teams, which was the same as the previous edition in 1996. The hosts England and the eight other test nations earned automatic qualification to the World Cup. The remaining three spots were decided at the 1997 ICC Trophy in Malaysia.


1999 Cricket World Cup, Qualification
22 nations competed in the 1997 edition of the ICC Trophy. After going through two group stages, the semi-finals saw Kenya and Bangladesh qualify through to the World Cup. Scotland would be the third nation to qualify as they defeated Ireland in the third-place playoff.

Scotland played two of their Group B matches in their home country becoming the first associate nation to host games in a World Cup. One Group B match was played in Wales and Ireland respectively, while one Group A match was played in the Netherlands.


1999 Cricket World Cup, Super Six
This stage was among the most viewed segments of the tournament, as India and Pakistan were officially at war at the time of their match, the only time this has ever happened in the history of the sport.


1999 Cricket World Cup, Super Six
Teams who qualified for the Super Six stage only played against the teams from the other group; results against the other teams from the same group were carried forward to this stage. Results against the non-qualifying teams were therefore discarded at this point.


1999 Cricket World Cup, Super Six
As a result of League match losses against New Zealand and Pakistan, even though Australia finished second in their group, they progressed to the Super Six stage with no points carried forward (PCF). India faced similar circumstances, finishing 2nd in their group but carrying forward 0 points after losing to fellow qualifiers Zimbabwe and South Africa.


1999 Cricket World Cup, Statistics
Lance Klusener of South Africa was declared the Player of the Tournament. Rahul Dravid of India scored the most runs (461) in the tournament. Geoff Allott of New Zealand and Shane Warne of Australia tied each other for most wickets taken (20) in the tournament.


1999 Cricket World Cup, Match balls
A new type of cricket ball, the white 'Duke', was introduced for the first time in the 1999 World Cup. Despite claims from makers British Cricket Balls Ltd that the balls behaved identically to the balls used in previous World Cups, experiments showed they were harder and swung more.


1999 Cricket World Cup, Media
The host broadcasters for television coverage of the tournament were Sky and BBC Television. In the UK, live games were divided between the broadcasters, with both screening the final live. This was to be BBC's last live cricket coverage during that summer, with all of England's home Test series being shown on Channel 4 or Sky from 1999 onwards; the BBC did not show any live cricket again until August 2020.


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final
The second semi-final of the 1999 Cricket World Cup was a One Day International (ODI) match played on 17 June 1999 at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham, England. It was played between South Africa and Australia. The match ended in a tie after a run out between Allan Donald and Lance Klusener ended the match which resulted in Australia booking a spot in the final where they would defeat Pakistan.


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, Background
The two teams had faced each other in a Super six match, which would eventually prove to be the deciding factor in determining which of the two teams would qualify for the final. South Africa batted first and put up a competitive total, with Herschelle Gibbs scoring 101. In reply, Australia began losing wickets at regular intervals. The turning point of the match occurred when captain Steve Waugh was dropped by Gibbs at short mid-wicket, as Gibbs attempted to throw the ball up into the air in celebration, only for the ball to slip through his fingers.


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, Background
After the dropped chance, Waugh was reported to have famously said to Gibbs "You've just dropped the World Cup". Waugh denied saying this, but the quote has lived on in cricketing folklore. Waugh went on to score an unbeaten 120 and guided Australia home by 5 wickets. Had Australia not won the game, they would have been knocked out of the World Cup. As it happened, the victory allowed them to finish in second place in the Super Six stage, and qualify to play South Africa in the semi-final.


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, The match, Details
South Africa won the toss and elected to field. In seaming conditions, Australia managed to put up a total of 213 with Michael Bevan and Steve Waugh scoring vital half-centuries. Shaun Pollock and Allan Donald tore through the middle and lower order picking up 9 of the ten wickets between them. South Africa began their chase steadily with Kirsten and Gibbs putting on a good opening partnership. Wickets then fell at regular intervals as South Africa collapsed to 61-4. Jonty Rhodes and Jacques Kallis then put together a vital partnership taking South Africa within 40 runs of victory. Through some valuable runs from Mark Boucher and Pollock, and some big hitting from Lance Klusener, South Africa moved closer to the target


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, The match, Final Over
South Africa entered the final over at 205/9, needing a further nine runs to win. The two men at the crease were Lance Klusener who was on strike and Allan Donald at the other end. Damien Fleming was the bowler.

At that point, the Australian captain, Steve Waugh, brought his field up inside the circle to prevent a single being taken.

Australia tied the match and went into the final against Pakistan.


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, Legacy
Australia went on to win the final at Lord's, beating Pakistan by eight wickets after bowling them out cheaply. They would then go on to win the 2003 and 2007 World Cups, and achieve a run of 34 World Cup matches without losing (which finally ended when they lost to Pakistan in the group stage of the 2011 World Cup).


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, Legacy
South Africa, on the other hand, maintained their trend of choking at the World Cup: in 1992 they had lost to England in the semi-finals when rain forced them to score 22 runs off the final ball, and in 1996 they had won all their group matches before losing to West Indies in the quarter-finals. The trend also went on to continue, as in 2003 as hosts, a Duckworth/Lewis miscalculation meant they tied Sri Lanka in their final group game at Kingsmead when victory would have seen them advancing to the Super Six.


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, Legacy
In 2015, they won their first knockout game against Sri Lanka and set co-host New Zealand a record World Cup knockout game chase target in their semifinal at Eden Park – and it might have been bigger had rain not shortened the South African innings – but miscues and the heroics of South African-born Grant Elliott undid them as New Zealand advanced to their first Cricket World Cup final.


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, Legacy
South African coach Bob Woolmer resigned after this match. In 2007, shortly before his death, he revealed that Donald and most of his team-mates were in tears after the result and put towels over their heads so no-one could see them.


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, Legacy
The Wisden Cricketers' Almanack opened its report of the match with: "This was not merely the match of the tournament: it must have been the best one-day international of the 1,483 so far played. The essence of the one-day game is a close finish, and this was by far the most significant to finish in the closest way of all - with both teams all out for the same score. But it was a compressed epic all the way through, and it ended in a savage twist."


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, Legacy
In 2000, the match featured among CricInfo's 100 great matches of the 20th century. Steve Waugh called it "the best game of cricket I've played", while in 2004 The Sydney Morning Herald ranked it the 20th-biggest moment in Australian cricket. In 2010, The Times rated South Africa's choke in the final over as the second-biggest sporting choke of all time. In 2009, Shaun Pollock revealed that when betting at the Durban July horse race shortly after the match, he was told "Whatever you do, don't bet on number 10, he doesn't run", a reference to Donald not running (he was wearing jersey number 10).


1999 Cricket World Cup 2nd semi-final, Legacy
The twists, turns and close finish resulted in many observers regarding the match as the perfect One Day International from an entertainment perspective. The record-breaking ODI between Australia and South Africa seven years later, in 2006, continued the close rivalry between the two teams.


1999 Cricket World Cup Final
The final of the 1999 ICC Cricket World Cup was played at Lord's, London on 20 June 1999. This was the fourth time Lord's had hosted the final of an ICC Cricket World Cup, previously hosting finals in 1975, 1979 and 1983. Australia won their second title by defeating Pakistan by 8 wickets in the final. Shane Warne was declared Man of the Match.


1999 Cricket World Cup Final, Match
Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat. In a fine bowling display, Australia bundled out Pakistan for a score of 132. Pakistan failed to build any substantial partnerships. The pick of the bowlers was Shane Warne who took 4 wickets for 33 runs from nine overs. When the Australians came out to bat, Adam Gilchrist made the Pakistani Bowling Attack look like a child's play making 54 off 36 balls. Australia won the match after 20.1 overs, losing just two wickets. Warne won the man of the match award and Steve Waugh lifted the World Cup.

1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season
The 1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season was the 33rd in the club's history. They competed in the NRL's 1999 Telstra Premiership and despite losing in the preliminary final against St. George-Illawarra, the season was one of the most successful in the club's history after finishing with just their second minor premiership without dropping below equal first throughout the entire season. The club enjoyed record crowds as well as breaking the club record for most points and tries in a season.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season
The club also equaled their biggest ever victory with a 46-0 thrashing of Western Suburbs as well as breaking their highest points tally in a match with the 56-18 defeat of North Sydney. David Peachey finished the season with 19 tries, which was also a record for the club. The club was coached by John Lang and captained by Andrew Ettingshausen while their major shirt sponsor was Pepsi.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season
Several of the club's players were also rewarded with selection in representative games. In the State of Origin series Martin Lang, Chris McKenna and Mat Rogers were all selected for Queensland while Jason Stevens was selected for New South Wales. Russell Richardson, Mat Rogers and Jason Stevens were selected for Australia for the end of season Tri-Nations. At the Dally M Awards, John Lang was named the Coach of the Year, Mat Rogers Representative Player of the Year and David Peachey Fullback of the Year.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season
Throughout the season, there was ongoing speculation around the club's future in the competition with some reports suggesting that a possible merger with either the embattled South Sydney club or the St. George-Illawarra club was a possible option.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary
Before the season Andrew Ettingshausen announced his retirement from all representative football in order to concentrate on his efforts for the club. On 31 January, former Cronulla forward Graeme Sams died of cancer at the age of 52. It was reported in February that the club was planning on building a resort, worth somewhere in the region of $50 million, near their home ground in order to secure their long term position in the competition.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, March
The season kicked off on 7 March with an impressive 44-0 victory over the Balmain Tigers at Shark Park with two tries from Sean Ryan as well as tries to David Peachey, Mat Rogers, Brett Howland, Chris McKenna, Andrew Ettingshausen and debutant Jason Ferris. The result equaled the second biggest win in the club's history. However, more importantly for Cronulla, the match marked the return of captain Andrew Ettingshausen from a career threatening neck injury which had seen him sidelined for approximately eight months.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, March
The victory put the club in first place after the first round, due to their superior points difference. In round 2 Cronulla won 14-6 against defending premiers, the Brisbane Broncos, at ANZ Stadium with tries to David Peachey and Paul Donaghy. It was the lowest ever score by Brisbane at ANZ Stadium since they had begun playing their home matches at the venue in 1993. The following round, Cronulla saw off South Sydney 28-12 with two tries each to Brett Howland and Mat Rogers and tries for Jason Ferris and Jason Stevens.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, March
Cronulla came up against Brisbane for the second time in a fortnight and again defeated the defending premiers with a narrow 20-18 win at Shark Park. Tries to David Peachey, Brett Howland and Nathan Long helped secure the victory for Cronulla which kept them equal first on the ladder. However, Cronulla were lucky to come away with the two points as referee Paul Simpkins denied Chris Walker a penalty try just two minutes from full-time and then fullback Darren Lockyer missed a last minute sideline conversion which would have leveled the scores.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, April
Round 5 saw Cronulla extend their unbeaten start to the season with a 20-16 victory over competition favourites the Melbourne Storm at Olympic Park. Tries to Russell Richardson, Andrew Ettingshausen and David Peachey ensured that the club remained at the top of the ladder and the only club to yet taste defeat. Round 6 saw Cronulla continue their impressive form with a 22-8 victory over Canterbury in front of a record crowd of 20,793 at Shark Park. Tries to David Peachey, Adam Dykes and Chris McKenna helped seal a convincing victory for Cronulla.

Cronulla suffered their first loss of the season in round 7 at the hands of Penrith. Despite tries from Jason Stevens, Russell Richardson and Mat Rogers, Cronulla went down 18-16 at Penrith Football Stadium. Despite the club's first loss in the previous round, a record crowd of 22,279 (beating the previous record set just two rounds earlier) turned up to Shark Park to watch the local derby against St. George-Illawarra.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, April
The home side managed a narrow victory thanks to two tries from David Peachey and a try to Brett Howland. Aside from scoring two tries, Peachey also made two try-saving tackles as well as desperately chasing back to make sure Anthony Mundine did not score under the uprights. In the end that moment proved crucial as Wayne Bartrim hit the upright and therefore missed the opportunity to level the scores.

After the bye in round 9, Cronulla defeated South Sydney 27-14 at the Sydney Football Stadium with Mat Rogers, David Peachey, Brett Howland and Mitch Healey all bagging tries in a convincing victory. Both hookers, Shannon Donato from Cronulla and Sean Garlick from South Sydney, were sent to the sin bin by referee Bill Harrigan after an altercation between the two erupted. Both players were later suspended for two matches and one match respectively after an altercation in the players tunnel.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, May
The following round saw Cronulla take on St. George-Illawarra at Kogarah Oval for the second installment of the local derby.

1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, May
A dramatic last minute field goal gave Cronulla victory in the following round as they defeated North Sydney 21-20. There was controversy around the incident though as there were claims that Andrew Ettingshausen impeded Mark Soden in his attempt to charge down the field goal. However, referee Stephen Clark missed the incident and so the field goal was awarded. Earlier, tries from David Peachey, Mitch Healey, Dean Treister and Andrew Pierce helped Cronulla towards victory.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, May
The following day Queensland defeated New South Wales 9-8 in the first State of Origin match with debutant Mat Rogers scoring all the points for Queensland. Despite suffering a knee injury and being forced from the field, Rogers returned later in the match to score all of Queensland's points including a field goal (the first of his career) six minutes from the game's end to win the encounter. Chris McKenna and Martin Lang also played a part in the match for Queensland and Jason Stevens for New South Wales but there was no spot for fullback David Peachey. Despite his impressive performances throughout the season, Peachey was left out of the New South Wales squad in favour of Robbie Ross. Cronulla coach John Lang and captain Andrew Ettingshausen were both shocked at his omission from the squad.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, May
Round 13 saw Cronulla suffer their second loss of the season at the hands of Newcastle as they went down 26-18. Tries from Russell Richardson, Andrew Ettingshausen and Sean Ryan couldn't prevent Newcastle from sending forward Paul Harragon out on a winning note in his farewell game. However, the match was overshadowed by a horror tackle from Daniel Smailes on Cronulla's Martin Lang that left the prop unconscious. Cronulla coach John Lang later claimed that the tackle had affected the outcome of the game. Smailes was later suspended for 7 matches for the incident.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, May
Two front-rowers, Cronulla's Jason Stevens and Newcastle's Tony Butterfield, were also charged by the judiciary. Stevens was hit with an 8 match ban while Butterfield escaped suspension. Referee Tim Mander and touch judge Paul Field were later dropped from officiating at first-grade level due to their failure to take appropriate action in regards to both the Smailes and Stevens incidents. The suspension for Stevens cost him a place in the New South Wales side and he was replaced by Michael Vella for the final two matches of the State of Origin series.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, June
Cronulla defeated North Queensland 22-8 in the round 14 clash at Dairy Farmers Stadium thanks to two tries from Russell Richardson and tries to Andrew Ettingshausen and Sean Ryan. North Queensland centre Damien Smith became the first player since round 1 to be sent off after referee Bill Harrigan gave him his marching orders for a high tackle on Colin Best.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, June
The second match in the State of Origin series occurred four days later at Stadium Australia with New South Wales winning the match 12-8. For the second consecutive game Mat Rogers scored all his side's points but of far more concern for Cronulla was the fact that Rogers sustained another knee injury just as he had in the first match only this time in his other knee. Doctors later diagnosed the injury as a posterior cruciate rupture that would see Rogers ruled out for twelve weeks. The following day the club announced that they had extended coach John Lang's contract for another two seasons.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, June
Two tries from Brett Howland as well as a try from Dean Treister wasn't enough for Cronulla in Round 15 as the club suffered their third defeat of the season after going down 32-14 against Sydney City at the Sydney Football Stadium. Cronulla trailed 18-6 at halftime and things went from bad to worse when Sean Ryan was sent off just after the interval. However, Sydney City forward David Barnhill was sent off just minutes later after a dangerous tackle on Dean Treister which would see him ruled out of contention for the State of Origin decider.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, June
Sydney City second-rower Bryan Fletcher was also sent from the field as he was sin binned. The following match saw Cronulla back to winning ways with a convincing 32-4 victory over Manly at Shark Park despite the absence of key forwards Martin Lang, Jason Stevens and Chris McKenna. Tries to Sean Ryan, Nick Graham, Brett Howland, Colin Best, Shannon Donato and Andrew Ettingshausen capped off a magnificent display. The afternoon was all about captain Ettingshausen though as he played his 300th game for the club - the first man to pass the milestone for the club.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, June
Already the all-time leading try scorer for Cronulla a try a minute from full-time brought his tally to 152 career tries which meant that he moved to equal third on the all-time competition try scorers list with Harold Horder. The club honoured his contribution to Cronulla with the unveiling of the newly named 'Andrew Ettingshausen Grandstand'.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, June

1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, July

The following round saw Cronulla continue their remarkable point scoring form with a 56-18 victory over North Sydney at North Sydney Oval.


1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, August
Hat-tricks to both David Peachey and Andrew Ettingshausen, a double to Brett Howland as well as tries to Adam Dykes and Chris McKenna sealed what was a record breaking scoreline for the club.

1999 Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks season, Season summary, August
However, it was to come at a cost with centre Russell Richardson, who had only recently extended his contract with the club, breaking down with a recurrence of a knee injury that would see him sidelined for around five weeks. After the bye in round 25, Cronulla wrapped up just their second ever minor premiership - the first coming in 1988 - with a comprehensive 38-6 victory against Penrith at Shark Park.
