Trumper wasn't as far away from his contemporaries (in scoring, not in style) as Ranji was. ITSTL he is going in first.

This is true - I personally have Vic ahead, but have no problem if our esteemed members vote in Ranji first.

That being said, given the number of voters who are swayed by averages - particularly compared to peers - I'm suprised at the complete lack of love for F.S. Jackson.

1. Herbert Sutcliffe
2. Ken Barrington

Voting for Sutcliffe for obvious reasons here ;)

And secondary vote for Barrington just for reminding people that he should be in top 20.

Otherwise would have voted for any two among Graeme Pollock, Walcott and Weekes, probably...
