The last one we did was an all-time list.

How many different cricketers does everyone expect to get 1 or more votes?

Haha yeah I hoped that someone would pick me up on that. :ph34r:

Meant experts obv. I know it's a little bit of a strawman thing, but seriously?

Chances are that there'll be more people doing it this time, which removes the outlier anyway. Collusion between people is a bigger "threat" than people making a random choice or two.

Yeah that's probably a better way of deleting outliers rather than minimum amount of votes.

He was an exceptionally important cricketer though; one of the biggest names in cricketing history.

It just says CW Top 50 cricketers, so we've been left to form our own ways of ranking the list.

Fair enough. I tend to pick cricketers on ability though, not influence. Having Jardine in a "top 25 most influential/important cricketers" is fair enough though

Sent my list. So hard to choose just 25. When I compiled my initial list ended up with 60 names. Great history this game has.

He's not a cricketer - forwent that title when he damaged the game and turned it into warfare.

He should be in a hall of shame not a hall of fame.

He is a controversial character at best.

One of the greatest captains, responsible for one of the most memorable series of all time, devised a tactic that reduced the greatest batsman of all time to a mere mortal, and wasn't too shabby with the bat either.

Plus, he's the greatest ever Scottish cricketer.
