Description
A wonderful time capsule of cricket history, this is a fully illustrated history of the Cricket World Cup since 1975 by acclaimed sports writer Liam Hauser.
Celebrating the sport's peak competition since 1975, acclaimed sports writer Liam Hauser, author of The Immortals of Australian Cricket, thoroughly examines each tournament across both One Day International and Twenty20 formats. The book includes extensive coverage of World Cup semi-finals and finals, detailing memorable moments and key performances such as hat-tricks, five-wicket hauls, and sparkling centuries.
This book is a wonderful time capsule of cricket history. It illustrates how the game developed a new peak competition in limited-over formats over the past five decades—from 60- and 50-over one-day internationals in the 1970s to popular Twenty20 tournaments in the 2000s.
Supported by essential stats and wonderful photos of the era, 50 Years of Cricket's World Cup is an indispensable resource for cricket enthusiasts and will proudly occupy a place on every sporting tragic's bookshelf.
