Congrats to the five guys that were inducted. I heard Wasim Akram talking about it last night during the Pakistan game, he sounded really chuffed to be included.

Brilliant that they've been included. I thought the likes of Waugh and Akram were already in the HOF though but glad they're in now. Trumper is also a fine addition, he was a entertainer and could play on all kinds of wickets, defiantly the best batsmen of his time.

Congrats to the new members. Is it only for retired players?

Congrats to the new members. Is it only for retired players?

Yes. To get into the Hall of Fame you must be at least five years retired.

IMO opinion it's a great way to honour the great players of this great sport.

Sounds like they couldn't wait to include Tugga, he's only been retired five years!

Are. You. Stoned.

All deserve it. Especially Akram who is probably the greatest Left Arm Seamer to ever bowl.

 

[KBC]

Wow. Congrats to everyone. But aren't they inducted too late? They'd have deserved it much earlier.

I'm not aware of the time the process takes. But anyways, All deserved. ICC should be proud.

 

[Fatal Shot]

Takes 5 years, so it's about right.

They all deserve it. Was unaware that Wasim Akram wasn't in it already.

They all deserve it. Was unaware that Wasim Akram wasn't in it already.

Only Pakistanis in it are Haneef Mohammed, Imran Khan and Javed Miandad. Anyway so happy for Wasim right now. Congrats to the rest.
