For a game with origins in the Middle Ages, cricket has done something rather incredible in its rise to become one of the top sports in the world. Contemporary fans of the game might think of certain players when they imagine the greatest players of all time, but who can say how a player from the 16th century would have measured up against today's lot? Perhaps a lifetime of backbreaking manual labour and illiteracy would have meant more time to perfect one's swing. Still, we only know what we can know, and so when we turn our minds to the great cricketers, we think of ones who were at least photographed and had their names recorded. These are the players we can name as the cricketers we should all know, at least by their uniforms.
Even the most ardent cricket fanatic can't know all the great players of their own generation, let alone all the great players of all time. To hold in mind even a fraction of them, to know an iota of the great feats they accomplished on the pitch is an accomplishment. Think hard on your own cricket knowledge. Have you studied? How well do you know the men and women who play perhaps the most gentle game of them all? It is time to test your visual knowledge, so clear up the lenses of your glasses and settle in. Let us begin!
