Cricketer Of The Year
1995 World Test Championship
Backdrop
The year is 1995. The International Cricket Council, having established its very own limited-overs World Cup only twenty years earlier, had since been seeking the means to finally provide a premier trophy for the sport's premier format. In response to an ever-mushrooming international schedule, the World Test Championship was inaugurated as a globally-hosted event, which would see each of the Test-playing nations meeting each other in the space of just one year to decide who are the World Champions of Test cricket.
Can the West Indies, in the midst of a rebuilding process, cap-off fifteen years of domination by winning this inaugural tournament? Can the fast-rising Australians successfully transition from the Border-era in the greatest style possible? How would England fare if they were able to find a way to rid themselves of their selectorial issues? Will the enigmatic brilliance of defending ODI World Champions Pakistan once again come to the fore? Can India finally find the winning formula in matches overseas, whilst remaining an immovable force at home? Will anyone be able to stop the recently re-introduced South African team? Can Sri Lanka convert some impressive performances at ODI level on to the Test stage? Will Zimbabwe be able to prove that they can hang with the big fish?
Platform
