Imran, for me.

Wonderful player, terrific captain and proud owner of the 'withering stare'. Don't drop a catch when Imran's around

I went for Len for his landmark 364. They say he wasn't quite as good after WWII when he picked up a serious fracture to his arm but he retired with a Test average approaching 60. Made a breakthrough as a professional England captain. Not as good looking as Imran though.

Charlie Parker says more jazz saxophone to me than iconic cricketer.

Played one Test, but his first class career lasted until 52.

Every summer from 1920 to 1935, when he retired, he took over 100 wickets. In five of these seasons his victims numbered more than 200. In 1922 he dismissed 206 batsmen; in 1924, 204; in 1925, 222; in 1926, 213; and in 1931, 219. His full figures during a distinguished career were 3,278 wickets, at a cost of 19.46 runs each; he hit 8,197 runs, average 10.33, and brought off 235 catches.

I confess I'd not heard of him

Imran Khan takes this one.
