Specials – Ten T20 World Cup records from 2007 that still stand

The men’s T20 World Cup is back after a long hiatus – it has been five and a half years since Carlos Brathwaite smoked those four sixes off Ben Stokes to give the West Indies their second title. Widely considered as a hit-and-giggle jamboree when it arrived in 2007, the tournament has since completed five […]

Record Book – The first World Cup match in the Netherlands

Having played at the 1996 World Cup, the Netherlands failed to make the cut for the next edition in 1999. However, they had the satisfaction of being one of the hosts – the 1999 World Cup featured 42 matches, of which 37 were played in England, two in Scotland and one each in Ireland, Wales […]

Who Would Have Thought It – Kenya defend 134 in an ODI

  It is well known that Kenya defended a modest total of 166 in their famous 1996 World Cup victory against the West Indies at Pune’s Nehru Stadium. The historic match, played on Leap Year Day, saw the unheralded Associate side bowl the two-time champions out for a paltry 93, with the wreckers-in-chief being Rajab […]

Specials – Associate nations at the World Cup, Part 5

  The 16-team format used for the 2007 World Cup proved to be short-lived, as the tournament reverted to a two-group structure of 14 teams (as was the case in 2003, but with quarterfinals instead of the Super Six) for the next two editions. In this final part of our series on Associates at the […]

Specials – Associate nations at the World Cup, Part 4

  Bangladesh’s elevation to Test status in 2000, coupled with the increase in the number of participating teams by two, led to room for four Associates at the 2003 World Cup in Africa.

Specials – Associate nations at the World Cup, Part 3

  As seen in Part 2, Zimbabwe became the ninth Test nation in 1992, thus opening up further opportunities for the Associates to partake at the World Cup. Moreover, the next two editions of the World Cup saw 12 teams in action, which meant that three spots were up for grabs for the Associates in […]
