SONU
It was twenty two years ago but to me it seems only yesterday. I was about eleven then and it was one of the first live cricket games I had seen. It was just after the 1982 Asian Games and we had bought our black and white television around that time. To me what sticks out in my memory of that game were that square cut on his knees by Srikkanth off Roberts and the mother of all catches by Kapil. Not to be forgotten was the last wicket stand of 20 odd runs between Kiri and Sandhu. I still remember, that for some reason the transmission was lost during the start of the WI innings. When it came back, Sandhu had just bowled that dream indipper to get Greenidge. But as long as Richards and Haynes were motoring along India had no chance. But then Kapil and Mohinder Amarnath had better ideas and the rest, as they say, is history. I still remember the edge of the seat action when Marshall and Dujon were ekeing out singles after singles. And the boundless joy I felt when Dujon played on and Amarnath polished off the tail. And then joining the hundreds of people on Kolkata's streets running around in wild excitement, bursting crackers and waving the tricolor. And my dad had no problem in me staying out so late in the night, that was indeed the clincher

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 favorite -- this one produced a sensational turnaround with 500-1 outsiders India upsetting the West Indies applecart.
I hope you liked these quotes
Enjoy

anybody have 1983 World Cup Final/Semi Final?
