Sports Legends Cricket

Profile manager: David Randall [send private message]

After association football, cricket is the 2nd most popular sport in the world. So, this month we are celebrating 40 of history's most notable cricketers.

Unlike last month, most of this month's selected athletes all come from either the United Kingdom or one of its former colonies, so tracing their roots and making connections should be a bit easier this time around.  

Remember, no contribution is too small, so jump in wherever you think you'll have the most fun. If you enjoy research, work on making connections and increasing CC7s. If you enjoy storytelling, how about taking the research of your fellow members and turning it into an entertaining narrative. We can also use help with properly formatting sources, hunting down copyright-free images, and even simple proofreading. No contribution is too small to be a benefit. Just, remember to keep us posted on your accomplishments on the G2G thread so we can all share in your successes.

For ideas on what an ideal profile entails, please see the Completed Profile Checklist.

Note: If the final column in the below table is empty, it means that the Notable was already connected to the Global Tree at the time of this project began.
