ICC World Cup Cricket History, Previous Champions

Cricket World Cup 2007

History

The Cricket World Cup was first held in 1975 in England, with eight teams participating: Australia, England, the West Indies, Pakistan, India, and New Zealand (the six Test nations at the time), with Sri Lanka and a composite team from East Africa.
The first three tournaments were held in England. N. K. P. Salve, President of the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) recounts the awarding of hosting rights for the 1987 World Cup in his book The Story of the Reliance Cup. According to Salve, he was given two tickets for the 1983 World Cup final at Lord's. When India unexpectedly qualified for the final, he requested two additional tickets from the MCC for friends who had just arrived from India. The MCC refused his request. Following this rebuff, Salve campaigned heavily amongst associate members of the International Cricket Council to form a bloc of voters, who ultimately awarded the hosting of the 1987 World Cup jointly to India and Pakistan.
Since 1987, the hosting of the World Cup been shared by the major cricket playing regions of the world - England, the Indian subcontinent, Australasia, Southern Africa and the West Indies. The tournaments have been based mainly in the local superpowers, though matches are held in all regional cricketing nations.
The World Cup is held in high esteem amongst fans, players, and administrators, unlike many of the myriad of one-day tournaments held around the world each year. It has been the scene of some of the major developments in the way one-day cricket is played.

There were 51 matches overall, spread over eight venues across the West Indies, which were selected to host the World Cup final tournament.

Cricket World Cup Quotes..

I fully expect us to win every game we play, it doesn't matter what the make-up of the team is.
Ricky Ponting, Australian skipper.

Is this a resignation issue? I'll have to talk with my superiors on that.
former New Zealand captain and Match referee Jeff Crowe on the blunder by him and the umpires which caused the farcical scenes at the end of the World Cup final.

I guess it was nice to finish off with a catch behind with Gilly.
McGrath on Gilchrist catching Arnold to give him his last ODI wicket. He is the tournament's leading wicket-taker with a record haul of 25 wickets and the most successful World Cup bowler of all-time.

It was really pleasing to do it on an important day. I've been getting a lot of starts but hadn't converted.
Adam Gilchrist who smashed a final record 149 off 104 balls to set up the victory.

It was simply a brilliant innings from Gilchrist, unfortunately I was the opposition captain watching it.
Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene about Adam Gilchrist's 149 off just 104 balls.

My learned commentary is, my commentary is congratulations to Ricky and the boys, but to Glenn McGrath, that lanky bloke from Narromine, thanks for a wonderful contribution to Australian cricket.
Prime Minister "cricket tragic" John Howard.

We listen to criticism, and there has been a lot of it from people saying it's been too long - so we'll look to make it shorter.
ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed.
