CMS Icons #1

Postby The Professor » Sun Mar 17, 2019 2:49 pm

Inspired by the BBC Tv show of the same name, I thought it might be fun to try and figure out our all time cricketing icon.

I will post 5 names and we decide who we think is the best of those five.

We will then have further rounds to limit it to our top player.

Just a bit of fun...

I went with Greg Chappell for his outstanding treatment of a streaker. Every streaker should be subjected to that

he set the benchmark

Safe to say that this one has gone to Braddles.

Onwards...
