Victor Trumper has emerged as the favourite to have a Sydney Cricket Ground stand named after him, AAP’s John Coomber reports.

The SCG Trust has decided that its new stand, currently under construction in the old 'Hill' area, will be named after a cricketer. But the Waughs are out of contention because the trust has decided the player needs to have been retired for at least ten years. Steve Waugh retired in 2004, leaving Test immortal Victor Trumper as the favourite.
