Cricket, Lovely Cricket
I realize it detracts from the thread, which is why I said sorry.

Such sensitivity - 'twould not have occurred to me - I feel humbleIt's in case any of our Australian friends start blubbing again

Flintoff over Donald, Garner is seriously crazy. Anyone seriously going to tell me they'd have Flintoff over those two - even the people who voted for him?
Obviously it's a great exercice and it's the people's choice, but I bet if we did 'Pick your team from the 50 draft' with four posters (and make four teams), both of those players would be gone way before Flintoff.

But obviously the fun is in the controversy. This is a great list, and a great series of posts you have Sean. Can't wait for 10-1.

Thanks SS. Your wait is almost over.

Yeah Flintoff is one of the worst 2 players on the list for mine. All the other 48 players I reckon I would have picked if I had say 65 choices.

Has anyone actually owned up to putting Jardine at Number 1.

As far back as the first page:
Kudos to whoever voted Lord Jardine of Mumbai in at #1.
Nearly gave him the nod myself.

Cheers. At the time I thought he was taking the p eye double s when he wrote that.

Yeah but you fancy him. There's some of the England women's team who I'd happily place in the Top 50 on shagworthyness (good word that).

Haha, you've got a point.
But it's true. Go into any of the stat wars, performances against the best teams are extrapolated against the y axis and multiplied by 47 to demonstrate their true worth. Flintoff humbled the best team of the decade more than any other player this century.

I think you can make a case for Flintoff above either as a cricketer. No-one would seriously argue he's a better bowler, but in terms of all-round (pun intended) ability those who can play a meaningful hand in either suit are useful to any team.
I don't necessarily agree & didn't have any of the three in my 25, but "seriously crazy" is a stretch, IMHO. I mean, regardless of where one stands on the Murali/Warne or Lara/Sachin debates, as cricketers the latter is the more useful in both cases because their second suit is by far the stronger.

VVS Laxman says hi and also disproves your point to an extent.

Don't remember him averaging 27 with the ball in the same series as averaging 40 with the bat against them
Doesn't disprove my theory anyway
