Former Australian women's cricket captain Belinda Clark honoured with a statue in bronze at the Sydney Cricket Ground

 One of the greatest women's cricketers of all time, Australia's Belinda Clark, has been honoured on day two of the Sydney Test with the unveiling of a statue of her at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Clark has latterly been one of Australia's leading cricket administrators after a brilliant career that saw her captain Australia's women's team for more than a decade and hold numerous records, including the most Test and ODI runs for an Australian woman, and the top international score for an Australian woman — 229 not out.
