David Boon, Matthew Hayden & Betty Wilson to be inducted into Australian Cricket Hall of Fame

Two of Australia's greatest top-order batsmen David Boon and Matthew Hayden and the brilliant women's all-rounder Betty Wilson will be inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame. The event will be held at the 2017 Allan Border Medal ceremony in Sydney tomorrow. Hall of Fame chairman Peter King today announced that Boon, Hayden and Wilson were the selection committee's choice for induction this year. He said, Matthew's record in both Tests and One-Day Internationals stands comparison with anyone in history and Hayden stands fifth in the list of all-time Australia Test run-scorers. Commenting on Wilson's induction, King said, Betty Wilson was a woman ahead of her time, thanks to her brilliant all-round skills as a batter and off-spinner.
