Which 4 heads would you put on a cricketing Mount Rushmore?

[mr_mister]

Bradman and Sobers are shoe-ins obviously.

Grace?
Warne?

 

[The Battlers Prince]

That's a tough question. I'm thinking the four people who brought the game to the people, and were inspiring in doing so. No disrespect to Sobers of course but I'd say Grace, Bradman, Worrell and Tendulkar

 

[Dan]

Wisden, Grace, Bradman, Tendulkar

 

[Dan]

*Wisden, Grace, Tikolo, Tendulkar

 

[Burgey]

How many people did Tendulkar bring to the game ffs? India was cricket mad decades before he came along. Same for Australia with Bradman.

Grace - birth of modern cricket
Worrell - black West Indian captain, statesman
Benaud - great player, captain and doyen of commentators
Olonga/ Flower - their stand against Mugabe was a great, great thing to do.

 

[cnerd123]

Worrell a good shout.

 

[Burgey]

And I should say, as great a player as he was, I wouldn't want Warne anywhere near a monument to all that's meant to be good about cricket. As much as I might be prepared to set aside a lot of his **** through his career, the Marlon Samuels BBL thing, his commentary these days and that ****ing Marshall batteries ad have sealed it for me. He can **** right off.

Kohli
Southee
Steve Smith
That guy from Bangladesh who looks like a male model

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Worrell a good shout.

Yeah I was happy to think Worrell but I'd completely forgotten about Wisden. In my head cricket started in 1877 and even then I rarely pay much thought to cricketers before CTB Turner or so

 

[Noble One]

Grace, Bradman, Benaud and Worrell.

 

[Athlai]

Grace, Worrell, Bradman, Ranjitsinhji or Mankad

 

[Coronis]

Grace, Bradman, Benaud and Worrell.

Probably this. Others I would think of are Wisden, Cardus etc.

 

[cnerd123]

Sad how it's all pretty much just batsmen isn't it? Benaud the only bowler suggested so far.

 

[Daemon]

You're all kidding yourselves if you think Tendulkar shouldn't be on there.

BIggest cricketing icon ever.

Don't be jelly burgey and co.

 

[Jono]

Kohli
Southee
Steve Smith
That guy from Bangladesh who looks like a male model

Good shout. Problem would be whether you could get his delicious eye colour to show in the rocks.

[smash84]

Yeah Tendulkar is arguably the biggest icon of the game. Don't see why he can't be on cricket mt Rushmore

Edit: Imran and Miller to adorn mt Rushmore to add glamor

Bradman has to be there

 

[longranger]

If it was just India -

Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Tendulkar and Dhoni

 

[The Battlers Prince]

 

[Cabinet96]

Dale Styen, Alastair Cook, Steve Smith, Chris Woakes

 

[Midwinter]

Grace, Bradman, Sobers, Tendulkar

Possibly Trumper, SF Barnes, Jessop, Sehwag
