World Series Cricket results
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
World Series Cricket results are the results of the main games played in the now defunct World Series Cricket (WSC) competition. World Series Cricket was a break away professional cricket competition staged between 1977 and 1979, organized by Kerry Packer for his Australian television network, the Nine Network. The matches ran in opposition to established international cricket. World Series Cricket drastically changed the nature of cricket, and its influence continues to be felt today.The intention for creating World Series Cricket is not to offer the media and broadcasting rights by the Australian cricket board to him and after few years when board agreed to give broadcast rights to kerry packers then he no more interested to run the world series cricket and this how IPL started in India with the same thought and mindset.
WSC involved a three-way competition between the WSC Australia XI, WSC West Indies XI, and WSC World XI, a team composed of players from the other cricketing nations, although a number of West Indian players also played in the World team when they were not playing for the West Indies. Towards the end of the competition a fourth team named the Cavaliers was added for the Country Cavaliers Tour. It was composed of players not selected by the other three sides for that rounds' fixtures; this was a way of making better use of all the players contracted to the competition.
