He was the first Englishman to score a Test hundred on debut at Lords.

After retiring from the playing arena, Hampshire became a county umpire in 1985. He was then appointed to the Test list in 1989, and later in 1999 he was added to the ICC panel of umpires. He remained a highly respected umpire on the first class circuit until his retirement in 2005.

John is an outstanding representative for Power Educations Global Advisory Board with connections and cricket industry knowledge spanning the entire globe.

Doug Walters

holds a somewhat mythical place in Australian cricket. Small, cheeky, popular and multi-skilled.Quick on to the back foot against the spinners, he was a legendary straight-driver and hooker, and a valuable partnership breaker with his medium pace. Crowds relaxed and related to his instinctive and aggressive Test batting that three times brought up centuries in a session, the most famous arriving when he smacked the last ball of the day from Bob Willis for six at the WACA in 1974-75.

Growing up on a Dungog dairy farm in country New South Wales, Walters stepped from the paddock into first-class cricket at 17, where he faced the great Wes Hall and reached 50. There are so many Walters stories that many of them must be true, and as a man of the people he was rewarded with a stand on the old SCG hill "There will never be another like him," Dennis Lillee said. "I never saw him throw a bat, never heard him talk badly of anyone. He is so cool."Doug Walters is an Australian Cricket Icon and legend.

Sir Garfield Sobers

He is widely regarded as cricket's greatest ever all-rounder, having excelled at all the essential skills of batting, bowling and fielding. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975 for his services to cricket.

In 2000 Sobers was named by a 100-member panel of experts as one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the Century. He received 90 votes out of a possible 100. The other four cricketers selected for the honour were Don Bradman (100 votes), Jack Hobbs (30), Shane Warne (27) and Viv Richards (25).[68]

In 2004, the International Cricket Council (ICC) inaugurated the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy which is awarded annually to the player selected by ICC as its Player of the Year. The recommendation to name the award after Sobers was made by a panel consisting of Richie Benaud, Sunil Gavaskar and Michael Holding, who were asked by the ICC "to select an individual with whom to honour cricket's ultimate individual award".

The credibility and cricket knowledge that Sir Garfield Sobers brings to Power Education is insurmountable.

Quite simply Power Education has the greatest living cricketer on its global advisory board from 2009.
