Sir Clive Lloyd
What are your memories of the 1979 world cup?
I can’t remember a lot of it really but I know that we were the best team in the world at the time. I remember the final against England very well, the innings of Collis King especially; he got 86 in 66 balls. Collis and Viv Richards both batting extremely well and gave us the impetus we needed to go on and win.
What are your thoughts on modern One Day cricket?
We didn’t have the power plays and the fielding circle for starters, the rules are a little different for sure. I think it’s all for the better though, in my time you could make a good score and then just site back and put men on the boundary. The fielding now is terrific , Australia have really taken that side of the game forward through sliding and picking up and throwing, it’s very exciting to watch.
Can the West Indies win the World Cup?
I think we have a very good chance; we’ve got to the finals of all the tournaments we have played in recently. In the last couple of months we have really been playing well. We have some very good young cricketers, so if we play to the best of our ability then we have a real chance.
Who do you think will make the Semi-Finals?
That is a difficult one. Australia are favourites, I suppose, but there are a lot of good teams out there. Sri Lanka, NZ, England could come into their own by then. Pakistan have a pretty good side, there are a lot of teams who have a good chance of getting into the semi-finals. Let’s hope that the West Indies will be one of the teams in the finals.
What do you think will be the legacy of the World Cup for the Caribbean?
We were the winners of the first World Cup so I think the West Indies should have hosted it already. I think it will be the best world cup ever, that will hopefully be the main legacy from this world cup. The best thing about this World Cup is that there are no Day-Night games; the weather in the Caribbean is perfect to bat in so games should be exciting to watch. I think the legacy will also be the grounds and stadiums that have been built and the wonderful time that the spectators are going to have.
How has the recent West Indies tour of India gone in your opinion?
Well we could have won more of the games; actually I think we could have won all of the first 3 games. We hadn’t played cricket for a whole before going out to India but it has given us a good run into the World Cup.
