Australia's legendary woman cricketer Belinda Clark became the first female cricketer to be immortalised with a sculpture in the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) precinct.
Clark's bronze statue has been installed at the entrance to the SCG's Walk of Honour and was revealed for the first time ahead of day two of the third men's Test against South Africa.
The statue stands alongside that of Richie Benaud, Steve Waugh, Stan McCabe and Fred Spofforth, among other cricketers at the SCG.
The sculpture is believed to be the first such honour afforded any women's cricketer in the world.
Clark compiled a formidable record for Australia as a captain and batter, including 919 Test runs at 45.95 including two centuries in 15 Tests and 4844 One Day International runs at 47.49 including the first double century in a Women's ODI cricket.
She was Australia's captain for 12 years and in 101 games and also led Australia to triumph in the 1997 and 2005 World Cups.
