Julien was the player of the match in Sri Lanka's maiden ODI appearance
Sri Lanka had a tough introduction to ODI cricket when they were thrashed by West Indies in their ODI appearance. Sri Lanka took on the formidable West Indies team in the 4th match of the World Cup in 1975 in Manchester.
Sri Lanka were bundled out for a mere 86 runs in 37.2 overs. Bernard Julien, the left-handed fast bowler from Trinidad picked up 4 wickets and was the player of the match. West Indies chased the target comfortably and won the match by 9 wickets with 236 balls to spare.

A passionate fan of Team India, Cricket has a special place in his heart owing to the way the sport has continued to evolve over the years. He is also thrilled by the competitiveness on display across all formats in the sport. His favorite cricketer is Sachin Tendulkar and reckons that his childhood idol's dominance over world-class bowlers in the 1990s speaks volumes about his skills and achievements.

If he ever laid his hands on a time machine, Meit would love to witness the 2023 ICC World Cup final between India and Australia and believes that ODIs should never be completely replaced by T20Is owing to the format's popularity.
