=>Sunil Valson, the uncapped Delhi
left-arm medium-pacer, was part
of the victorious Indian squad at
the 1983 World Cup. But the
unfortunate Valson didn't play in
any of India's eight games
during the tournament - they
had a remarkably settled team, in
which nine players were ever-
present - and indeed he never
played an international match of
any kind, being jettisoned by the
Indian selectors after the World
Cup victory

=> To date there have been four one-wicket victories in World Cup matches, two of them in 2007, whenSouth Africa beat Sri Lanka, and England pipped West Indies. But the most famous of them - and the one that involved the highest last-ditch stand - came at Edgbaston in 1975, when West Indies dipped to 203 for 9 chasing Pakistan's 266. However, from that deeply unpromising position Deryck Murray and Andy Roberts nervelessly knocked off the 64 runs required to seal victory - one that confirmed West Indies as the tournament favourites. Pakistan returned the favour in 1987, defeating West Indies by one wicketin Lahore, in the only World Cup match to date in which the winning runs came off the last ball of the game
