Canada's Davis bowled a similar delivery on Saturday to catch India's master batsman Sachin Tendulkar unawares and bowl him for a measly two. The ball swerved in sharply to knock the off-stump out as Tendulkar.

As Joseph exulted in his moment of triumph, Tendulkar walked back in disbelief. "It's a day I will never forget," said Joseph, even as the Canadians lost the match by 112 runs.

Soon after the match, Joseph pocketed the ball as a memento -- after getting Tendulkar's autograph on the `Ball of the Games', of course.

Fans have their way

Australian fans, who celebrated their country overtaking England in the overall gold medaltally since the Games started in 1930, made their mark too at the swimming pool on the opening day of the event. Those with expensive tickets to the poolside, held up competition , as the seating area for which they were entitled to was shifted to the far end of the diving pool. They forced the organisers to seat them in the very area for which the tickets were meant.
