27-Apr-2007•Jonathan Hungin

New Zealand's lone ranger

For most of the 17 years Hadlee was a Test cricketer, he singlehandedly carried his side's attack like no other bowler had managed before and only Muttiah Muralitharan has managed since. His action, as smooth as whipped cream, combined menace with meannes

Nothing he couldn't do

When Wisden Cricketers' Almanack invited 100 experts around the world to vote for their five top players of the 20th century, a few grumbled that two names were shoo-ins: Don Bradman and Sir Garfield Sobers. Because if Bradman is the greatest batsman of a

The golden 'Nugget'

Keith Miller had the golden touch whether hitting sixes into the stands, bowling unplayable offerings or thrilling people with his pastime

02-Mar-2007•Peter English

The lost diamond

At his peak, Mike Procter's all-round talents were like a force of nature: roaring in like a hurricane, he was the type of fast bowler to give you goose bumps; his batting had all the lethal power of a volcanic eruption. But he also showed the finer skill

23-Feb-2007•Ken Borland

India's Cricketer of the Century

Kapil Dev is the finest all rounder to have played for India, and one of the best to have pulled on a pair of coloured trousers anywhere. He was more than a cricketer, he was an inspiration.

India's unsurpassed allrounder

Suresh Menon profiles Vinoo Mankad, one of India greatest allrounders

The stumpy stopper

While Alan Knott was keeping wicket for England in 65 successive Tests in the 1970s, there was not a gloveman in the world to touch him. But he was not merely a keeper of impish brilliance: Knott was England's lower-order not-so-secret weapon

The king of swing

Master of the spin-swerve

The first Monty to be a crowd favourite, M.A. Noble was the most complete player of the late 1800s and early 1900s

07-Dec-2006•Peter English

Pakistan's cornered tiger

To restrict Imran Khan to mere cricket is to heap an injustice upon him. Undoubtedly, he was a giant on the field

07-Dec-2006•Osman Samiuddin

Nothing less than a phenomenon

At his peak, he was - for Englishmen of a certain generation - nothing less than a phenomenon

30-Nov-2006•Lawrence Booth

India's lost captain

A dour customer capable of bursts of flair on the field, Ravi Shastri was a debonair, straight-speaking individual off it, qualities that didn't exactly endear him to an Indian society
