Australian cricket great Christina Matthews is calling for a statue of legendary player Betty Wilson to be erected outside the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Matthews, a member of the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame, believes it's long overdue to recognise Wilson's contributions to the sport. With women's cricket on the rise, a statue would be a fitting tribute to Wilson's legacy. Cricket Australia and the MCG should consider honouring Wilson's achievements, which have inspired generations of female cricketers. It's time to celebrate her impact on Australian cricket history with a permanent monument. Key figures in Australian cricket are supporting the campaign, with Matthews leading the charge.
