They're tough groups to start with. Geez the RNG didn't make it easy did it :lol:

Matt79 · Apr 28, 2010

This is brutal
group 1-
1. Ambrose
2. Waqar
3. Barnes
4. Roberts
5. Reid
6. Bond

group 2 -
1. Lillee
2. Hadlee
3. Lindwall
4. Adcock
5. Gillespie
6. Nissar

Noble One · Apr 28, 2010

Group A:

1. Ambrose
2. Waqar
3. Roberts
4. Bond
5. Reid
6. Barnes

Group B:

1. Hadlee
2. Lillee
3. Lindwall
4. Adcock
5. Gillespie
6. Nissar

Group A is a nightmare to select from. For the record I rate Barnes highly. I placed him at the bottom of the rankings based on my opinion that I don't consider him a pace bowler. Almost impossible to compare the likes of Barnes to any other player on the list.

Blakus · Apr 28, 2010

Group A

Barnes
Ambrose
Waqar
Roberts
Bond
Reid

Group B

Lillee
Hadlee
Lindwall
Adcock
Gillespie
Nissar

Tough choices in both groups. Although I rate Hadlee as the greater cricketer as a bowler I give it to Lillee.

Magrat Garlick · Apr 28, 2010

Group A

Waqar - 1
Ambrose - 2
Roberts - 3
SF Barnes - 4
Bond - 5
Reid - 6

Group B

Lillee - 1
Hadlee - 2
Lindwall - 3
Nissar - 4
Adcock - 5
Gillespie - 6

A is horrible. Might as well draw random numbers, impossible to rank.

SF Barnes
Ambrose
Waqar
Roberts
Bond

Agree that it is really hard to know where to put Barnes in all of this, but as he is included then I am just going to rate him as a bowler and not define it.

Hadlee
Lillee
Lindwall
Adcock
Gillespie
Nissar

wfdu_ben91 · Apr 28, 2010

Could you please use first names aswell? I've never heard of Nisser or Adcock, so I can't research them. :dry:

Group A

Curtly Ambrose
Waqar Younis
Shane Bond
Andy Roberts?
SF Barnes
Bruce Reid

Group B

Dennis Lillee
Sir Richard Hadlee
Jason Gillespie
Ray Lindwall
Neil Adcock?
Mohammad Nassir?

stephen · Apr 28, 2010

I have a feeling that group B will see Lillee, Hadlee and Lindwall all go through easily, but group A looks like it's going to be impossible to pick really.

That's fair, I will add first names and cricinfo profiles.

Duh, but it'd be a hell of allot easier to copy and paste their name into the cricinfo search engine.

Is it possible for everyone in Group A to get a wildcard? I wouldn't lose any sleep if SF Barnes or Bruce Reid bowed out in the first round, but the others definately deserve to go through.

weldone · Apr 28, 2010

Group A -

1 - Sydney Barnes
2 - Curtley Ambrose
3 - Andy Roberts
4 - Waqar Younis
5 - Shane Bond
6 - Bruce Reid

It's perfectly possible. At the end of round 2, everyone who was voted out in rounds 1 and 2 will get a shot at one of two wildcard entries into round 3.

Having said that, for someone to be eliminated in round 1 and then make it to the top 16 will be a feat. There will be some 29 bowlers eliminated by then.

weldone · Apr 28, 2010

Group B -

1 - Richard Hadlee
2 - Dennis Lillee
