Weekes is anyway winning. So, I needn't place my strategic vote for him. I'll vote for those whom I'd have voted in normal circumstances.

1. Graeme Pollock
2. Clyde Walcott
 

oitoitoi

State Vice-Captain
Pollock, suprised he isn't already in it. Would rate him above ponting.
Vijay Hazare.


Did Ranji get extra credit for inventing new shots?

It's not just about the how many, it's the how too sometimes. Denis's flashing stroke play lit up Britain in the austerity years and he was an A Lister before the term was coined.

Plus, of course, he played for The Arsenal too. :cool:
