Key Moments
1979 - Viv Richard's hundred in the final
More Key Moments
Viv Richards was the most feared batsman of his generation and during the 1979 World Cup Final his unbeaten innings of 138 was instrumental in the West Indies defending their title.
They posted a superb 286/9, which the English never threatened - being dismissed for 194, despite making a relatively good start.
Although Joel Garner bowled superbly, taking 5/38, it was Richards's innings that was a cut above the rest.
