Forgotten Greats of Cricket

The game of cricket has seen numerous great cricketers since the first Test match between Australia and England at MCG in 1877. They did not merely uphold the spirit of cricket; they gracefully embodied it. In addition to their distinctive talents to remain at the top of the game, the blend of characters enabled the game to reach its present phase of evolution. The life histories of some of the greats seem to have been vanished due to some enigmatic reasons. Amongst these, there were batsmen who took batting to an unearthly plane, fast bowlers who mastered in all conditions with powerful, rhythmic approach, unwavering control and late swing brought a hush to arenas all over the world; spinners who bamboozled the batsmen with their wizardry: fielders with absolutely splendid athleticism, sublime catching ability and breathtaking speed in the field.
