The problem when analysing the greatest cricket players to come from Australia www.sportingbet.com is not who to include but who to leave out.

Australia has made cricket their game and over the years have produced the best players in the world. So I guess it’s best to go with a couple of givens.

Don Bradman is widely and pretty much without argument regarded as the best batsman of all time. When he retired in 1948 his batting average was an incredible 99.94, which to this day is considered to be statistically the greatest achievement in any major sport.

He captained the Aussies on their1948 tour of England and in what would be his last test series guided them to an unprecedented unbeaten victory. Bradman still holds many batting records today, which why his place at Australian’s cricket top table is in no doubt.

You can not place a sportingbet on your favorite cricket players. Bet on cricket and test your knowledge.

Joining ‘The Don’ and probably sitting next to him is Shane Warne. The charismatic leg spinner has won the hearts of both home and rival fans through his, for the want of a better word, charm and cricketing ability.

His truly remarkable deliveries have out foxed batsman for over a decade and he became a star when he bowled the ‘Ball of the Century’ that span violently to skittle the wicket of Mike Gatting during the 1993 ashes.

He’ll never really be the choice of the old boys elite of cricket because of several off field scandals but ‘Wisden’, the bible of cricket, voted him one of the ‘players of the century’ which is a just choice.
