Liverpool skipper Gerrardwarns his team mates not to under-estimate Watford in the return leg of their Carling Cup semi-final.
 

Prudential World Cup, 1983

 
 
 
 

India surprised one and all when they upset red-hot favourites West Indies by 43 runs to pocket the coveted World Cup. Asked to take first strike, Indian batsmen struggled to come to terms with the incisive Windies bowling attack on a strip, which had plenty of juice for the quicks.

Opener Krishmachari Srikanth top-scored with 38 as India were packed out for a measly 183 in 54.4 overs. Sandeep Patil and Mohinder Amarnath spared India the blushes contributing 27 and 26 respectively, which in the context of the match proved invaluable in the end. Andy Roberts did most of the damage for West Indies claiming 3 for 32.

Set a target of 184 for victory, the West Indian batsmen committed hara-kiri to be skittled out for 140. Champion batsman Vivian Richards was the only batsman to provide a semblance of respectability to the score notching 33.
Madan Lal and Mohinder Amarnath, hithero unheralded bowlers, emerged as the nemesis for the mighty Windies as they shared six of the ten wickets between them. Mohinder Amarnath, who chipped in a useful 26 with the bat was named Man of the Match.
