Cricket World Cup

Around the World... in Seventy-and-a-half days showcases the memorable 253 matches that have been played in cricket''s premier event from 1975 to 2003. It features matches that went down to the wire, and others that were hopelessly one-sided. Some games were shaped by extraordinary performances, while others were transformed through teamwork. Some matches were forgotten a few days after they were played, while a handful were so significant that they altered the history of not only the tournament of which they were a part, but the sport itself. The book brings the reader face-to-face with some riveting cricket action, choreographed by some of the greatest cricketers in history. The book has all the usual suspects - all eight World Cup finals, several semi-finals, Kapil''s destruction of Zimbabwe, Gilmour''s heroics against England, Walsh''s sportsman spirit against Pakistan, the two cliffhangers between Australia and South Africa in 1999 Plus there are some ''surprise'' selections and also some ''forgotten gems''
