What turns an international cricketer into a legend of the game? Runs and wickets are an obvious place to start. There's more to it than statistics, though.
Take Andrew Flintoff for example. A Test career that included just five centuries and three five-wicket hauls does not suggest legendary status. Ask any England fan and they will disagree.
Likewise Jeff Thomson and Michael Holding. Many bowlers have taken more Test wickets than this duo but few have had such a memorable impact.
This list will combine statistical leaders as well as players whose numbers may not be world-beating but who possess a certain "wow factor."
Test performance was the main influence in selecting the final 10. Impressing in the limited-overs formats was a second, if less important factor.
