Ozland at the Cricket World Cup

 

THE CRICKET World Cup is a competition held every four years. The staging of the event is rotated among the twelve nations that participate. The year is 1992 and the World Cup was held in Australia. Each team played each other once in the tournament then the top four played-off in the semi-finals. There was no play-off for third place. All games were played according to schedule, and no games were replayed due to a tied result. The highest team score was 312 with the highest individual score being 139. Had Ozland's captain, Allan Hoarder, scored his overall batting average instead of a duck (0) in Ozland's match against Sri Lanka, Ozland would have beaten the eventual tournament team record high score by one run. All grounds played at were circular with their areas totalling whole numbers, a cricket pitch is 22 yards long and 'Pi' in this enigma equals exactly 3.1415895.
