10 best players of all time from Western Austalia

6 Graeme Wood

Left-handed opening batsmen Graeme Wood might not be counted among the best batsmen to have played for Australia but he certainly was among Western Australia's finest and in fact, helped in steadying the top order at a very difficult time for the team.

Following the unavailability of some key players due to World Series Cricket, Wood got his first international cap in 1978 and became a steadying influence at the top of the order. Throughout the 1980s, he played 59 Tests and scored 9 centuries at an average of 31.83.

For Western Australia, he was a prolific scorer as well, having scored 35 centuries in 227 first class games and there is no doubt, that Graeme Wood will be remembered as one of the best players from the state.
