1975 - Windies win as Thomson & Lillee fall short

Captain Clive Lloyd led by example as West Indies clinched the inaugural Cricket World Cup - the first limited-overs international tournament - at Lord's against Australia.바카라 웹사이트

It was a contest that provided a tense finale as Australia attempted to chase down the바카라 웹사이트Windies' 291-8, Lloyd having scored 102 from just 85 deliveries.바카라 웹사이트

The match looked to be won when Australia were reduced to 233-9, but Jeff Thomson and Dennis바카라 웹사이트Lillee바카라 웹사이트gave them hope with an unlikely 10th-wicket partnership.바카라 웹사이트

Having cemented his legacy by adding to his win over Evander Holyfield by defeating Mike Tyson in 2002, Lennox Lewis signed off his boxing career with victory over바카라 웹사이트Vitali Klitschko.바카라 웹사이트

The third round proved key, as an impressive Klitschko suffered a cut to his right eye that forced the fight to be stopped after the sixth, with Lewis awarded the win by TKO.바카라 웹사이트

Klitschko required over 60 stitches but his performance led to calls for a rematch. Despite initial negotiations, Lewis elected to retire in February 2004 with a record of 41-2-1.바카라 웹사이트

Heavyweight glory would come for Klitschko, who was never again defeated and twice won the WBC title.바카라 웹사이트
