It has been forty years since we won the World Cup. Many things have happened in cricket since.Test match attendance have come down.ODIs blossomed and peaked but have now been over taken by t20.There are players who are free agents not often available for their region or country( think Sunil Narine) but visible almost all year round from Port of Spain to Port Elizabeth.And India has lived up to Ashish Nandy's formulation of cricket being an Indian sport accidently discovered in England.Indian viewership largely runs the sport.And the concept of Big three has evolved who have given new vigour to test match rivalry.All this owes to that win at Lord's and another win in a different format in South Africa in 2007.
