Host country not lifting trophy
by Julian Martyn on Jun 26, 2008 03:25 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The great legend Gavaskar has told that no host country has lifted the World Cup.

I would like to clarify that Sri Lanka won the World Cup as joint organisers of the 1996 World Cup beating Australia

Braveheart,
Gavaskar is a legend in his own right. He was a test cricketer and has brought many glories to India. Sachin is also a legend even though he is not a T20 cricketer. Similarly, Warne is a great bowler and you cannot say otherwise just because he does not bowl at 150 km/h. Every cricketer has his own skill set.
You should be brave enough to give respect to people who do good in their own field and bring glories. Otherwise, you are just a chickenheart, not braveheart.
