This is the wildcard round for the Fast Bowler Survival competition.
Please rank the following bowlers in order of preference (current average ranking is listed next to the bowler).
The top two will progress to round 3 as wildcards into the next round (a seeded, single elimination tournament, based on averages).
Vote for as few or as many bowlers as you like.
Bowlers you do not vote for will be placed after your lowest ranked bowler, in the order that they appear below.
If you vote for a player 5 or more positions below what the highest vote for that player is, your vote for that player will count for their [best position + 5].
Players below the top 2 are vying for overall position only and will be completely eliminated after this round.
Players who were involved in groups of 6 in round 1 have had their scores normalised by treating all 6th rank votes as being equivalent to 5th rank votes.
