Apologies if this has already been asked but here goes again...the ICC Hall of Fame consists of 55 retired players...can you name as many as possible, with or without cheating?? I got 40 out of the 55.

They have all retired before 2003 (oops!!) so players such as Warne and McGrath arent in there just yet.

To help you here is the breakdown of where they're all from...England 22, West Indies 13, Australia 11, India 3, Pakistan 3, South Africa 2, New Zealand 1

Working upwards from the bottom:

The NZ one is obviously Hadlee

South Africa: Barry Richards....Graeme Pollock?

Pakistan: Imran Khan and Javed Miandad, can't think of the third (its probably someone really famous and obvious who I've missed out)

India: Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev, again a third escapes me

Australia: Rodney Marsh, Allan Border, Bradman, Benaud, Lillee, the two Chappells...are Merv Hughes, Dean Jones or David Boon in there?

All correct sir, well done so far

Richard Hadlee

Graeme Pollock
Barry Richards

Imran Khan

Sunil Gavaskar
Bishen Bedi
Kapil Dev

Don Bradman
Richie Benaud
Alan Border
Dennis Lillee
Rod Marsh
Bob Simpson
Ray Lindwall
Keith Miller
Greg Chappell

Viv Richards
Gordon Greenidge
Michael Holding
Andy Roberts
The 3 Ws (Worrell, Weekes and Walcott)
Clive Lloyd

Geoffrey Boycott
Herbert Sutcliffe
Wilfred Rhodes
WG Grace
Jim Laker
Hedley Verity
Ian Botham
David Gower
Bob Willis
Fred Trueman
Alec Bedser

How many have I got?

i presume he means b4 2003

pakistan - zaheer abbas or possibly wasim akram

india - vengsarkar

gary sobers and malcolm marshall must b in this surely

33, excellent effort...the ones marked ++ arent in the list

correct

hobbs, hutton, goochie, sydney barnes, statham

none of those 3...though I'd definitely have Wasim in there in the not-too-distant future

Herbert Sutcliffe isn't on the list? Or Hedley Verity?

Sutcliffe scored 4,500 test runs at an average of over 60 and over 50,000 first class runs.

Verity was the fastest ever to 100 test wickets at the time and had his career tragically cut short by WW2, dying in action.

It's anti-Yorkshire bias I tell thee!

Btw - if Sutcliffe isn't in, is Jack Hobbs?

no wifred rhodes then

aussies must include victor trumper, david boon, bill ponsford

Yes

windies prob include the black bradman george headley

I thought Sutcliffe would be in too but nope...and yes, Hobbs is in.

So far we've got:

NZ - Hadlee
SA - Richards, Pollock
Ind - Kapil Dev, Bedi, Gavaskar
Pak - Imran Khan, Javed Miandad
Aus - Bradman, Benaud, Border, Lillee, Marsh, Lindwall, Miller, G Chappell, I Chappell
WI - Richards, Greenidge, Holding, Roberts, Worrell, Weekes, Walcott, Lloyd, Sobers, Marshall, Headley
Eng - Boycott, Rhodes, WG Grace, Laker, Botham, Gower, Trueman, Bedser, Larwood, Compton, Hobbs, Hutton, Gooch, Statham, Barnes

Correctamundo

abdul qadir then for pakistan

No, unfortunately not

wes hall and desmond haynes for the windies




or rhamadin and valentine

no, surprisingly none of those

garner and perhaps walsh (can't think when he retired)

No and no again!

Monty Panesar

Ray Illingworth, Dickie Bird, Basil D'Oliveira

Proper modern day legend!
