A Ton of Cricket: Vote for your favourite cricket character from our list of 100 Aussie greats

Who is your favourite Aussie cricket character of all-time? Now is your chance to celebrate the best of the best. Check out our full list and vote.

Australian cricket’s history is dominated by sporting greats for their performances on the pitch, but it isn’t always wickets, runs and classic catches that captures the public’s imagination.

While Sir Donald Bradman might be revered as Australia’s greatest ever cricketer and Shane Warne our greatest bowler of all-time, the debate about who is the greatest character is far more subjective and certainly one that’s up for debate.

Merv, Boonie, Thomo, DK, Skull, Pez, Gilly and Punter. They’re just a small sample of an endless array of famous Australian cricketers who have endeared themselves to a nation and captured the hearts of cricket fans with deeds that extend beyond their feats with bat and ball.

What gets Australian cricket fans talking the most? Is it deeds on the pitch or colourful antics away from the game?

 

The campaign has compiled a list of 100 of the biggest characters in Australian cricket history, but now it’s up to the fans to vote to find the No.1.

“I’ve personally been able to reflect on some of the incredible friendships I’ve formed with some truly unforgettable characters on and off the field over the years," Fox Cricket commentator Brett Lee said.

“From the late Shane Warne to Merv Hughes and Dennis Lillee, plus so many more. They’ve all brought something truly unique to the game from their loyalty to their humour, leadership and unwavering determination. It won’t be easy to choose one with a line-up of so many great legends to vote for.”

Fans will be able to vote for the number one personality from a list that features the most legendary icons across the decades.
