On the 2nd of January, 2000, an expert group of ‘selectors’ appointed by Cricket NSW made an historic announcement…

From literally hundreds of champion cricketers to have proudly worn “the baggy blue”, a ‘team’ of 12 was selected - “The Blues Living Legends”.

The depth of cricketing talent in this magnificent “team of the 20th Century” is such that many observers have ranked it as a legitimate contender for best-ever Australian side. From Sir Donald Bradman to former Australian captain, Steve Waugh,… from Keith ‘Nugget’ Miller’, to inaugural Allan Border medal winner, Glenn McGrath; the array of talent from opening batsmen through to opening bowlers is of the highest order.   

The full team in batting order is; Arthur Morris, Bob Simpson, Sir Donald Bradman, Neil Harvey, Allan Border, Steve Waugh, Keith Miller, Richie Benaud, Alan Davidson, Brian Taber, Glenn McGrath & Norman O’Neill.

To mark the greatest living NSW team’s announcement, the New South Wales Cricket Association commissioned “The Blues Living Legends Commemorative Release”

A truly rare collectable

In keeping with the significance of this release, the limited issue number was kept exceptionally low…with  just 250 editions ever to be made available. It has since become one of the most highly sought-after cricket collectables.  

The sweeping panoramic photograph of the Sydney Cricket Ground on game-day morning is simply breathtaking. From every stand, including the original Brewongle and Sheridan stands, the historic ‘Members’ and the famous ‘hill’; a capacity crowd watches the game unfolding. In real life, the framed image is ‘razor-sharp’, with scoreboard details easily readable. Each team member has been brillaintly captured in characteristic attacking mood, and at the peak of his powers… Bradman on the drive… Taber appealing… Miller sending down another bouncer.

Each player has emblazoned their personal signature right across their photograph, thereby creating a real personal link to this monumental commemorative release.

Each players full state and Test match career statistics have also been featured.
