47 international players have represented the club, eight of whom have been listed as a Wisden “Cricketer of the Year”.
He was picked in the squad for the fifth Test at The Oval against the 1909 Australians, but was then left out of the team: his omission was described by Sydney Pardon, editor of Wisden, as "a fatal blunder" and the selectors' decision not to include a fast bowler at all "touched the confines of lunacy".
The magazine was discontinued after the July 2007 edition, shortly after ESPN acquired Cricinfo from Wisden in June 2007.
Ring was, though, just one of three leg-spin bowlers, alongside Benaud and Ring's Victoria colleague Jack Hill, and, said Wisden, "none of the three ... was seen to advantage in the Tests".
But Gimblett's own performance drew one of the game's accolades: in the 1953 edition of Wisden, he was named one of the Five Cricketers of the Year, alongside Tom Graveney, David Sheppard, Stuart Surridge and Fred Trueman.
Matthew Thomas Brimson (born December 1, 1970) is a former English cricketer who gained notoriety by exposing himself in a team photograph that was published in the 2000 Wisden Cricketers' Almanack.

When a series of team photographs were taken for the official Wisden almanack, Brimson decided to expose himself for one of the photos.
(Presumably Wisden had bowlers Ian Meckiff and Gordon Rorke in mind with this comment.) Johnnie Moyes in 1959 thought “McInnes, in my opinion, ranks with Hele and Crockett as the finest Australia has produced … McInnes adopted the English idea of never rushing into a decision and perhaps that is why he makes so few mistakes.”
Mushtaq was part of the Pakistan team which won the 1992 Cricket World Cup, and five years later, he was named as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year.
She edited the magazine Women's Cricket, reported on women's cricket for Wisden for more than thirty years, and wrote a regular column for The Cricketer.
Wisden was impressed, saying that he had "more than confirmed the promise of the previous season" and had continued "to mature in the Cartwright mould".
He is, as Wisden put it, "no known relation" to former Worcestershire captain Norman Gifford.
Nowadays the records section is intended to be complementary to the much more detailed data available online at Wisdens associated website ESPNcricinfo.
