Graham Gooch is pictured above during his innings of 53 (96 balls) which helped England to a
comfortable 6 wicket victory over Australia in the group stages of the 1979 World Cup. England made
it all the way through to the final before suffering the disappointment of a 92 run defeat to the
West Indies, Gooch scoring 32 off just 28 balls in England's 194 all out.
