DHAKA: It is all about the 1979 world cup cricket final, not the story of this World Cup 2015 that have already experienced five ducks.

Amidst Vivian Richards' destructive century, three West Indies batsmen failed to open their accounts in the 1979 final at Lord's.

The Caribbean tail-enders -- Andy Roberts, Joel Garner and Michael Holding -- were dismissed for a duck while the fourth of the pace quartet, Colin Croft failed to score any run from the two deliveries, remaining not out.

After their embarrassing outing with the bat, the quartet struck hard with the ball, dismissing five England batsmen without troubling the scorers.

David Gower, Wayne Larkins, Chris Old, Bob Taylor and Mike Hendrick were out without scoring a single run to increase the overall tally of batsmen with a duck in the final to nine!
