WC Remembrances - 1975 ICC Cricket World Cup
The 1975 ICC Cricket World Cup was the first ever cricket world cup held and it was held in The United Kingdom. It was the then unformidable team of West Indies studded with stars like CH Llyod, CG Greennidge and AME Roberts, which took the privileged cup home. West Indies defeated Australia in the final. The final, played at The Lord's ground, was a close encounter with West Indies stealing the win from Australia, defeating them by a mere margin of 17 runs.
A total of 8 teams (West Indies, Australia, India, Pakistan, East Africa, New Zealand, England and Sri Lanka) participated in this first ever major cricket event. As for India, India was out of contention for the cup in the group stage only and it could not reach the Semifinals. India placed with East Africa, New Zealand and England in group A, lost 2 of its 3 group matches and was thus unable to reach the semifinal stage.
