1975, England
Fine climate favored the principal worldwide one-day competition finishing in a life-changing last between West Indies and Australia at Lord's.
Hitting the ball with loosened up ruthlessness, West Indies' chief Clive Lloyd subdued an assault headed by the pace and anger of Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson to score 102 from 85 balls.
He was capably helped by the 39-year-old Rohan Kanhai, a late swap for his harmed contemporary Garfield Sobers. Kanhai contributed 55 to West Indies' 291 for eight from their 60 overs.
Australia commander Ian Chappell drove a lively answer with 62 preceding he succumbed to one of three runouts affected by the electric reflexes of Viv Richards. Lillee and Thomson included 41 for the last wicket before Australia were at last expelled for 274 at dusk on the longest day of the year.
