The inventors of the game have won 41 matches out of 72 played. They have reached the finals 3 times in 1979, 1987 and 1992, but failed to win the title each time.

Their best chance came in 1987 World cup when chasing the total against Australia, they were cruising at 115/3, but a reverse sweep from captain Mike Gatting resulted in a stunning collapse, giving Australia the win by 7 runs and their first World cup title.

The 2015 World Cup proved to be the most embarrassing of all, where they were knocked out of the tournament in the group stages after losing to Bangladesh in their final league match.
