1975: Lloyd Leads By Example
Runs made with backs to the wall are gripping to watch and Clive Lloyd coined the original. The West Indies captain came to the crease with his side struggling on 50/3 against Dennis Lillee라이브 바카라 Australia.

1987: Advance Australia바카라 웹사이트
An Australia side that Steve Waugh would later label ‘rank outsiders’ pulled off an unlikely triumph in India & Pakistan, the first time the World Cup was staged outside England.

1992: Cornered Tigers Roar Back
Imran Khan asked his team to fight and they scrapped for every inch until the skipper himself dismissed Richard Illingworth to clinch perhaps the World Cup라이브 바카라 most remarkable victory.

1996: De Silva라이브 바카라 Service
In what is still the finest all-round performance in a World Cup final, Aravinda de Silva took two catches and snaffled three wickets to restrict Mark Taylor라이브 바카라 Australia to 241 in Lahore.

2007: Gilchrist Goes Big

2011: Dhoni Does It For India
India라이브 바카라 World Cup win on home soil remains one of the most significant moments in the game라이브 바카라 recent history, sparking scenes of jubilation not seen since.
