However during the late 1970 - mid 1990's, West Indies were cricket's most powerful force. This all started when the West Indies were in the 1975 world cup. They ended up at the top of their group's table. They ended up beating New Zealand in the semi-finals and Beat Australia in the Finals by 17 runs. They also went unbeaten during the whole tournament.

Cricket has a long and illustrious history. In this article we will explore the development of cricket over time, the first EVER international cricket match, and how sheep farming is connected to the birth of the game. The sport of cricket (as it is played now) has a known history beginning in the late 16th century. Having originated in south-east England, it became the country's national sport in the 18th century. International matches have been played since 1844 and Test cricket, the longest and oldest current form of the game, began in 1877.
