The poor boy who came to walk among kings

Bradman was cricket's first modern hero, a man who transcended his game, embodied the modern Australian journey, and became a symbol of mastery over fate

Amazing Grace

In the late 1800s, one man was synonymous with cricket, and enchanted all who came to see him bat. Truly was he nearly as big as the game

Cheeky, chatty, charitable

To know Murali was to love him (and occasionally to wish he would be quiet)

22-Jul-2010•Charlie Austin

'I could never plan against him'

Virender Sehwag takes his hat off to a bowler he was never quite able to figure out how to play comfortably

20-Jul-2010•As told to Nagraj Gollapudi

The epitome of fast bowling

Swing and cut, speed and bounce, and smarts above all - Maco had everything except height, and even that lack he turned into an asset

18-Jul-2010•Mike Selvey

A captain's dream, a coach's nightmare

Murali's ability to take on the largest workloads and produce results, and his desire to constantly improve himself were fundamental to the sort of bowler he was

17-Jul-2010•Mahela Jayawardene

Fearless Stan

McCabe at the crease was the personification of batting with haste yet no hate. On his birth centenary, we remember the batting genius

16-Jul-2010•Christian Ryan

The consummate professional

He was New Zealand's greatest bowler and the first Test cricketer to be knighted while still active, but at home Richard Hadlee didn't get the adulation his stature demanded

04-Jul-2010•Don Cameron

The head and spine of England's batting

Even as those around him struggled, Hutton batted on as if on the flattest pitch in the world

21-Jun-2010•David Frith

Left-arm explorer

Wasim Akram was a triumph of the imagination. He broadened the scope of what could be done in his art with talent and hard work and left fast bowling unrecognisable from what it was before him

25-Apr-2010•Osman Samiuddin

A giant of his generation

Alec Bedser was an impressive figure of a man, and his feats with the ball were befittingly large

05-Apr-2010•David Frith

The Atlas of the antipodes

As he stands on the brink of 100 Tests, we look at where New Zealand's jack of all trades ranks in his country's pantheon

25-Mar-2010•David Leggat

'Finish it, finish it'

Virender Sehwag, a man many believed would get to 200 before the master did, relives the innings of a lifetime

25-Feb-2010•As told to Nagraj Gollapudi

The lionheart who never held back

Shane Bond was never going to compromise on his greatest strength, pace, despite everything thrown at him

24-Dec-2009•David Leggat

'Tendulkar controls the game'

What are the things that set the great man apart from mere mortals? The ability to read the game acutely, pick the ball early, dedication, discipline and more

14-Nov-2009•As told to Nagraj Gollapudi

Man-child superstar

Tendulkar the cricketer seemingly emerged fully formed when he first picked up a bat. So too perhaps did Tendulkar the luminary

14-Nov-2009•Rahul Bhattacharya

An Australian sort of hero

Tendulkar's single-minded dedication to run-scoring is something they identify with Down Under

14-Nov-2009•Christian Ryan

'The best batsman I've bowled to'

There's Steve Waugh and Brian Lara. And then, a notch above, there's Sachin Tendulkar

13-Nov-2009•Allan Donald

The epitome of the English sportsman

Shep was a cricketer before he was an umpire, and in both roles he loved the game immensely

29-Oct-2009•David Frith

Rock of Yorkshire

Verity, he of the marvellous length and unerring direction, had one of the most acute brains in the history of the game
