History of the World Cup | Reuters: "Brief history of the cricket World Cup ahead of the 2011 edition which starts on Feb. 19:
1975, England
Fine weather blessed the first global one-day tournament culminating in an unforgettable final between West Indies and Australia at Lord's.
Striking the ball with relaxed brutality, West Indies' captain Clive Lloyd tamed an attack headed by the pace and fury of Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson to score 102 from 85 balls. He was ably assisted by the 39-year-old Rohan Kanhai, a late replacement for his injured contemporary Garfield Sobers. Kanhai contributed 55 to West Indies' 291 for eight from their 60 overs."
