People have let themselves down badly in casting their votes. FFS. Seriously, how can you prefer Mike OCD Hussey to David Gower?
It's a battle of CW's favourite cricketer, so I don't see what's wrong with voting for him.

Hussey is workmanlike and efficient and gutsy - Gower is classy - you would think that Gower would win - I think there is a recency effect here.

Your point being?

Favouritism obviously has elements of bias in it. Personally I show bias to 'current' players because I've seen them play tons of games and have grown to like them more than guys I've only watched a handful of youtube clips of. This bias could go the other way as well in the case of guys like Sreesanth :p

What I'm basically saying is they are my favoured cricketers, the factors that make them my favourites are irrelevant.

The idea that Mussey isn't a classy batsman to watch when he wants to be is such a terrible misconception.

Having a favourite isn't just about their performance, or how classy they look in their element. It's also about their personality or character. That's why I voted Hussey because he is such a great guy.
