2019 Cricket World Cup: Information transfer has narrowed gap between rivals

Hindustan Times  

Among my abiding memories of the World Cup is running into former Australian captain, broadcaster and scribe, the late Richie Benaud, on the stairway leading to the Lord’s press box shortly after the 1983 final had commenced. FILE PHOTO: The 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup Trophy is seen during a trophy tour event in Colombo, Sri Lanka September 22, 2018. But this piece is not another reminiscence of India’s sensational victory in 1983, rather to highlight how the World Cup has been won by less fancied teams. Yet, Australia, having toppled West Indies as the world’s best team by 1990, were not to win the World Cup again till 1999. Top-ranked England were beaten by Australia, second favourites India were beaten by New Zealand, who in turn were blown away by West Indies, and Pakistan were humbled by Afghanistan.
