CRICKETNMORE compiled some famous quotes made during and after the 1983 World Cup.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">&quot;Team if this is not a winning total its definitely a fighting total&quot; - <em>Kapil Dev said to the team during the innings break in 1983 World Cup Final<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;\">India would be the dark horse of the World Cup&nbsp;<em>- Kim Hughes (Australia Captain in 1983 World Cup) predicted before the tournament<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p style=\"line-height: 20.7999992370605px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;\">India are playing very well and in Mohinder Amarnath they have one of the best players of fast bowling in the world&nbsp;-<em>&nbsp;Clive Llyod during the group matches<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">If you look at 183 with the kind of batting line-up that West Indies had, it really should have been a walk in the park for them. It&#39;s something that brings goosebumps even after so many years. At times, it is difficult to believe that you were once a part of a World Cup winning team <em>- Sunil Gavaskar in an interview years later after winning the cup<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">It became a special delivery because it got the wicket of Gordon Greenidge. I was his fan before playing international cricket and I have always been his fan. And I believe that, Greenidge getting bowled, by leaving the ball, he made that delivery more special. I think Greenidge&#39;s wicket, combined with the occasion -- that is the final of a World Cup, made that delivery a special delivery <em>- Balwinder Sandhu in an interview<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><strong style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;\">Sunny Gavaskar was dismissed early and after a while, I went up to Jimmy (Mohinder Amarnath) and said I was finding it difficult. The ball was moving around and bouncing a lot. He said you just play your game, don&#39;t worry, I am there at the other end. So I decided to go after the bowling<\/strong><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;\">&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;\">- Kris Srikkant<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\">We won the 1983 World Cup but the fact remains that West Indies were by far the better side.
