[adharcric]

I'm off sampling bubbly like a posh wanker for the next four days in the Champagne houses of Reims and Epernay, so assuming Lindwall has this one covered my next selections over the coming days will be:

Spofforth
Lohmann
Donald
Davidson
Laker

Please default select for me the top two unpicked bowlers from that list while I'm away.

Here's your vote:

1. Spofforth
2. Lohmann

 

[NUFAN]

Donald
Grimmett

 

[SJS]

Larwood
Grimmett

 

[fredfertang]

Larwood
Verity

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Spofforth
Verity

 

[zaremba]

Can someone sum up Verity's merits in a few sentences? Fred?

 

[BoyBrumby]

1) GA Lohmann
2) FR Spofforth

Lohmann's record should speak for itself & Spofforth was, by all accounts, the first great test bowler.

 

[pasag]

Will join the Spofforth bandwagon

Spofforth
Larwood

 

[Athlai]

Holding
Walsh

 

[silentstriker]

Can I ask why people are not voting for Donald yet?
