'''1975:''' Sri Lanka storm through the tournament to win the first ever World Cup. Ed Joyce breaks a world record to score the first ever 150 in the game, with 5 "home runs" '''1979:''' James Cormack, captain of the Scotland Cricket Team, end up with brilliant figures of 7-15 in 10 overs as well as a batting score of 75* (the first ever batsman to do so), leading to an unprecendented 7-wicket victory over West Indies '''1983:''' Umpire Publius Sextus Quintus Fell entered a controversial race row in an India vs South Africa match, in which Fell allegedly no-balled leg-spinner Ramachandran repeatedly on the ground of "smelling like curry" and for "chucking".This was never proven. He was also accused of muttering swear words in Africaans during the match. '''1992:''' Sheikh picks up a five-wicket haul in the finals against England to take the Cup. '''1996:''' Jayasuirya, George Chamberlain and Dave "The Rave" Twymann all score huge centuries in the Cup, making it the most exciting tournament since its inaugaration in 1975. '''1999:''' Possibly one of the most controversial tournaments ever, held in Britain.South African paceman and gossip James "Watty" Watts was suspended and subsequently expelled from the Cup after allegations of drug-taking and bullying Avi Mayorcas after the latter's stunning catch to dismiss Watts in a super sixes game. His position was deemed "unteneble" by many in the cricketing World. Luke Watson, Australian batsman, is later banned for life after a long, abusive discussion with Sanjeev Ramachandran about the underlining of Latin words and, after an drawn out enquiry into his pronunciation of Tuesday,is caught threatening Matthew Thomlinson with death if he were to "mention cricket ever again". Matthew Thomlinson skies the ball out of the ground against Sri Lanka,much to the displeasure of ballkeeper W.N. Bailey. Harish Venkatesh later manages to inconceivably lose his bat in India's thrashing by Scotland in which James Cormacks unbeaten 94 led to a shock win,  causing Bailey to impose an impromptu ban on cricket being played in the notorious Hampton Stadium (affectionately known as the "Cauldron" by its die hard supporters)
