CW'S 50 Best ODI Cricketers of all time (voting now open)

[NUFAN]

Sent. Please revert back in case of any issues regarding the votes.

Also, am I allowed to post my votes in this thread itself before you post the results, if I want to?

weldone, your list contains 24 players on it, can you please add a 25th player and specify if he's in 25th position or not?

I guess I can't really stop you from posting your votes but I prefer if you didn't. Is it for conversation or to convince people to get your players more votes?

I'm allowing voting for a week and once the voting is finished then I would love for you and others to post their top 25 in here.

 

[NUFAN]

So far I've counted up voting from 7 people Vic_Orth, Morgie, Bagapath, Noble One, Nnanden, Weldone and Harry Blogger (not sure which user this is) and we've already had over 50 different Cricketers getting a vote which is good to see.

So I've tallied up the points for the first 9 people to vote so far, some pretty solid ODI players are missing from the top 50 at this stage,..

I'm looking forward to tallying up more votes when they come through, cheers to those who have already emailed.

How long do we actually have?

How long do we actually have?

I'm giving everyone about a week, so it should close on Saturday.

Hopefully some more people are keen to vote and just haven't had the time over the weekend, because I haven't received anything in the last 24 hours.

 

[Fusion]

Yeah, haven't had the time to draw up my list. Will probably send it in before the end of the weekend.

 

[Spark]

This sucks and rules.

Finding that the only way I can separate between some players is to determine who performed over a longer period. There are some players with incredible 100+ game careers in there, wow.

EDIT: No Michael Clarke, despite his average, itstl...

recent memories are raw

Good stuff.

Yeah true. IMO Clarke wouldn't look out of place being one of the 100 players nominated, but someone like Ramnaresh Sarwan who also didn't qualify has a very similar record. I'm sure you would find others who were a bit unlucky..

This was the most difficult thing to do. If I did the list again tomorrow, the only thing that would remain the same is my top 3.

Thanks for contributing mate. The list is starting to take shape, although I still think a few Cricketers are a bit lucky to be in the top 50..

 

[NUFAN]

Just in case the list of qualified players are not on the this last page..

So please email who you think are the 25 best ODI cricketers in order to cwnufan@gmail.com, voting closes on Saturday.

Im astonished ...

no Gavin Larsen..

a quality odi bowler who probably has the best economy rating still.

Im sorry I was away all this time I wouldve nominated him first.

Good bowler and very underrated. Not sure if in the top 100 ODI cricketers of all time though. A quick check of ODI bowlers who have taken > 20 wickets shows that Larsen isn't even in the top 30 for economy rate.

Harris and Larsen such a miserly combo.

 

[slugger]

Im suprised hes not considered in the top 100.

sorry I look at that time with rose coloured glasses.

 

[biased indian]

No waqar younis !!!!..or did i miss him ?

Larsen would be close to the 100, he was a good bowler for sure. Cheers for emailing me your top 25

No waqar younis !!!!..or did i miss him ?

Sorry biased my copy and paste was terrible from before. I forgot Waqar, Warne, Mark Waugh and Watson - It's edited now.

 

[biased indian]

i dont see steve still there ..but see...Watson though ???

If I did this tomorrow, it'd probably be completely different.
