The match had a comical ending. When India scored their 213th run, several in the crowd thought the game was over and so began the obligatory pitch invasion. When the field was finally cleared, England captain Bob Willis, who was bowling, placed all his fielders on the off side, in front of the pavilion, so as soon as the ball was bowled they could sprint up the stairs and avoid the melee.
The final at Lord's on a green, ultra-bouncy wicket was expected to be nothing more than a Windies' coronation. When India managed just 183 the worst fears were seemingly confirmed.
The final's pivotal moment came, however, when West Indian maestro Viv Richards was on 33 and threatening to take the game away. He pulled the medium pace of Madan Lal high over midwicket and Dev, with the sort of athleticism not associated with cricket in those days, turned and sprinted, taking a stunning catch a few yards in from the boundary.
The West Indies middle and lower orders then wilted under the pressure and it was a beaming Dev, to everybody's shock and delight, who was left holding the trophy on the balcony of the Member's Stand, providing the World Cup with one of its most enduring images.
