The world cup's not the biggest thing in cricket though.As I said earlier, if you win the biggest prize in any sport it is only natural that the events that follow in the near future will have the feeling of “after the lord mayors show” the great West Indies team of the 1970’s and 1980’s won the World Cup in 1975 and 1979, yet in 1975 after winning the tournament, they got tonked 5-1 in a test series in Australia.
At the end of the day, people today remember and talk about the West Indies winning the World Cup in 75 and 79 not a bilateral series that they lost having just won the biggest tournament in Cricket.
The Australia side was a better team that's why they got tonked it had nothing to do wit ha lack of effort by the Windies which is the opposite with India last year where quite simply aside from one or two players they didn't make the effort.
