WORLD CUP FINAL MATCH
|
West Indies beat
Australia by 17 runs thanks to a classic innings of
102 from Clive Lloyd - his first 50 came off 50 balls,
his second from 32 – and some spectacular fielding
from Alvin Kallicharran and the young Viv Richards.
Lloyd was dropped on 26
when he attempted a pull through mid-wicket and if the
catch had been held by Ross Edwards, the first World
Cup could well have headed off in another direction.
But the ball went down, West Indies resumed on 83 for
three and Lloyd made the error pay with a frenzied
attack on the Australian bowlers.
They finished with 291
for eight, having taken 82 off the last 13 overs. But
when Australia fought back in the first 20 overs by
scoring at four an over, the match was well poised for
a cliffhanger finale. |
 |
But then things started to
go badly wrong as calling between the wickets faltered and
Richards began to eye up the stumps as if they were 10
feet high and as many wide. When Ian Chappell ran out his
brother Greg, it was one of five disastrous mix-ups, most
of them engineered by the rapier like Richards who fired
three times and claimed three hits.
Dennis Lillee and Jeff
Thomson pulled things back in favour of the Australians by
blasting 41 in six overs, in a display that saw a packed
Lord’s crowd go crazy in the late evening twilight amid a
cacophany of wild roars, horns, and a rhythm section of
beer cans.
But with 18 runs required
from nine balls, Thomson swung at ball, missed it and was
run out bringing the entertainment to an end.
The huge crowd rushed onto
the pitch causing chaos, and in the commotion Thomson had
his guards ripped off his legs and umpire Dickie Bird had
his treasured cap taken from his head.
Lloyd was named man of the
match for his superb innings and organisers started
hatching plans for the second World Cup. |
