THE FIRST WORLD CUP WINNERS

Sir Clive Lloyd relives the experience of captaining West Indies (and making 100) in the inaugural World Cup final in 1975, fifty years ago.

Sir Clive Lloyd and I sat for a while at Lord’s last week during the World Test Championship final looking back over that dramatic World Cup final in 1975, the impact it had on his team and cricket in general, the catalyst for over a decade of dominance for that star-studded West Indian squad. But though Lloyd played a brilliant innings, it wasn’t all plain sailing for his team on the day - as you’ll see. Relive one of the most significant moments in cricketing history wit the man at the centre of it by contributing to the Cricverse where there is a host of exclusive content to come, including our look back, with many of the participants, at the epic 2005 Ashes series twenty years on.
