This was the last time the World Cup was held in England, before its migration to the subcontinent and Australia.

It was also the year of the underdog. The first two World Cups had been won by the clear favourite -- this one produced a sensational turnaround with 500-1 outsiders India upsetting the West Indies applecart.

Here are the details:
