CWC Final 2015
Exactly a year to go.
On this very day next year.
The 11th CWC final.
I'm backing England, NZ or SA to definitely play it.
Not ruling out a Southern Hemisphere victory.
The biggest ODI every 4 years.
The grand game.
For the second time a World Cup final at the MCG.
Great moments in WC finals
Joel Ganer's 5 fer in 1979
Lloyd leading from the front in 1975
Wasim Akram's bowling in 1992
Mohinder Amarnath's all round performance in 1983
Ponting at his best in 2003
Gilly's brutal assault in 2007
Dhoni's ice cool finishing touches in 2011
Boon's dogged graft in 1987
Warne's heroics in 1999
De Silva sealing the deal in 1996
Random facts:
6 100s in WC finals - Lloyd, Richards, De Silva, Punter, Gilly, MJ
A home team has played only 2 WC finals
Lords has hosted four WC finals
Garner got the only 5 fer in a World Cup final
England lost the 1979 final at home, despite 100+ opening stand in a chase
Final Location By Year
1975 = Lords
1979 = Lords
1983 = Lords
1987 = Kolkota
1992 = MCG
1996 = Lahore
1999 = Lords
2003 = Jo'Burg
2007 = Barbados
2011 = Mumbai
2015 = MCG
Since Mid 2007-2015
Been 5 World T20s
Been 7 IPLs
Been 6 Champions Leagues
Been 4 Asia Cups
Been 2 Champions Trophies
Been 4 Under 19 World Cups
Been only 1 World Cup - hence the big one, does not came around often
