The Sean

Cricketer Of The Year
Yeah, could have been one of the finals easily.
Indeed. Am kind of worried that so many of my personal all-time favourites are yet to come - I'm having visions that they're all going to be drawn against each other in the first round!

Magrat Garlick

Rather Mad Witch
Battle sixteen of forty-eight

Andrew Flintoff (1977-)

3,845 runs and 226 wickets in 79 Tests for England; 141 ODIs
Man of the Series as England regained the Ashes in 2005 (third most runs and second most wickets)
Think he may have played some other matches, but no one really cared

A. B. de Villiers (1984-)

3,902 runs in 58 Tests for South Africa; 96 ODIs
Has opened, kept wicket, and bashed runs a la Gilchrist...and is still only 26
No ducks in his first 78 Test innings

Sydney Barnes (1873-1967)

189 wickets in 27 Tests for England
Praised for his innumerable, unpredictable variations
Neville Cardus named him one of six Giants in 1963 (one of two bowlers)
Lowest bowling average post-1900
Selected by A C MacLaren for the 1901-02 tour after a season of Lancashire League
