Dudes, I'm not going to do your research for you.
Edit: **** it, but anyway, learn to Google.
Stone Heroes North and South: The Connection between Mount Rushmore and Stone Mountain — Civil Discourse
One displays the heroes of the Confederacy—Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson—all on horseback riding across the wide gray canvas that is Stone Mountain near Atlanta, Georgia. The other features four bust-style depictions of famous American presidents—George

"The Stone Mountain project was conceived in the 1910s, when a southerner was elected to the presidency, the nation’s capital was legally segregated, and the film Birth of a Nation was highly popular. The original idea for Stone Mountain, devised by Atlanta attorney William Terrell and supported by leader of the United Daughters of the Confederacy’s (UDC) Atlanta chapter Caroline Plane, was a bust of Robert E. Lee carved into the side of Stone Mountain. They approached Borglum with their idea, partially because of his renown for his previous work, but also because, despite being a “northerner,” he seemed sympathetic to their cause."

While it has been claimed that Borglum was a member of the Ku Klux Klan,[24] an article in the Smithsonian Magazine denies that there is proof that he officially joined the KKK.[25] That said, he became "deeply involved in Klan politics", attending Klan rallies and serving on Klan committees.

Why would I bother googling something I don’t have an interest in when someone can tell me the something I don’t want to know without me putting in effort.Dudes, I'm not going to do your research for you.

All hail Enid "averaged 60 with bat and 17 with ball" Bakewell.
Though the preponderance of players with figures like hers does suggest women's cricket was a very niche sport and not that greatly important to overall cricket history until the last decade or two. No offense meant, just being Mr. Obvious because people are taking TJB seriously.

I know RHF was something of a pioneer for the women's game over here, but her apologism for apartheid-era SA should exclude her from this sort of thing.
Considered Immy vey closely. I went for the original icon [WG], the statistical GOAT [DB], the AR GOAT [Sobers] and the 4th slot was a pick'em.
Warne revived an art. Imran is the better cricketer but Warne has the historical gravitas.

That was the whole point of my post. Warne has nowhere near the historical gravitas of Imran.
The best 4 cricketers ever are:
BRADMAN
SOBERS
IMRAN
MILLER
They add more to a side than any other player.
No gripe with it being Immy.

Gilchrist?

Best in his category but a true AR adds more I'd think. But Gilly is deffo a legit shout.
