How about the following-
SIR Donald Bradman
SIR Garfield Sobers
SIR Len Hutton
SIR Peter May
Just to name a few
The Ashes winning team of 2005 were all awarded MBE's or OBE's.
Dermot Reeve was awarded an OBE back in 1995/6 for his service to cricket. I'm sure many other have also been awarded similar for their services to cricket.
Don't forget Sir Richard Hadlee!
Michael Atherton went to Manchester Grammar School.
189 batsmen out off all cricketer have.
I believe most the correct info you have, however my 10p from a different angle. The honors have truly been stripped of any cachet following the entire England team being awarded them for winning the ashes! What rot. To present honors for a one-off is questionable.
