The Cricket World Cup was first held in 1975 in England because it was the only nation at the time that had the resources to stage an event of such magnitude. The matches played consisted of 60 overs per team and were played in traditional white uniform and red balls. They were all played during the day and hence started early. Eight teams participated in the first tournament: Australia, England, the West Indies, Pakistan, India, and New Zealand (the six Test nations at the time), with Sri Lanka and a composite team from East Africa.West Indies won the first Cricket World Cup when they defeated Australia by 17 runs in the final. The International Cricket Council (ICC) organizes the Cricket World Cup every four years. The series, which sees participation from all the test playing, and some non-test playing cricketing nations, is a limited overs tournament.Here we have reinvented the spirit of the Cricket World Cup 2007.
