There is no place for artists like Bernard Bosanquet and Rohan Kanhai. Bosanquet is the man who discovered the googly. Kanhai perfected the art of hooking the ball to the fence while lying on the ground. No cricketer has been able to replicate this stroke

Any video around with Kanhai playing this shot?

who else should be in this list? :)

Sir Frank Worrell , was a Master of the Late Cut , and when he played it murmurs travelled around the Stadia . I was very fortunate to see him in the first Test Match 1n 1960 at Kensington Oval , where the had a big partnership with Garfield Sobers , vs England .

Wow...Over fifty years watching test cricket eh 8-) You are a lucky man to see these artists at work...

I heard of Sir Frank (and is all good stuff) but never see him play... 8-)

He was a global ambassador for the game of cricket as well

Here is what Ranjit Fernando said about Worrell.
First cricketing idol
Frank Worrell has always been my greatest cricketing hero. I still think of him as the most admired cricketer and a tremendous role model. His ability to lead a group of West Indians who had tremendous talent, and to mould them into a team of world champions is his greatest contribution. The tied Test is something that made cricket what it is today.
Who else you would put in this list?
