Australian cricketers Belinda Clark, Alan Davidson and Fred Spofforth have been inducted into the ICC’s Cricket Hall of Fame.
Clark became only the second woman, after England’s Rachael Heyhoe-Flint, to be inducted while Davidson and Spofforth joined 13 other Australian men on the prestigious list.
In 14 years as an international player, Clark played 15 Tests scoring 919 runs at an average of 45.95, along with 118 one day internationals, amassing 4844 runs at 47.49 and was captain between 1993 and 2005.
An all-rounder from Gosford in NSW, Davidson took 186 Test wickets at 20.53 and scored 1328 Test runs at 24.59 in his 44 appearances between 1953 and 1963.
Fred Spofforth, known to teammates as `The Demon’, was a tall opening bowler from Sydney who played in 18 Tests from 1877 to 1887 taking 94 wickets at 18.41.
Clark said she was honoured to be inducted.
“I felt privileged to be a part of the Australian teams I played in,” she said.
“As a group we applied ourselves and picked up rewards along the way that were proportional to the work we put in. I was honoured to be able to captain the Australian team in what was a successful era.”
Davidson, 82, said: “This is an amazing recognition and I am proud of it. My whole dream since I was nine years old was to play for Australia. It was most extraordinary feeling. This is an acknowledgment of my career, so this is equally as great.”
