CW Top 50 Cricketers of All Time - 2nd Edition

[smash84]

Imagine a top 15 players of all time containing each of Dev, Gavaskar, Tendulkar and Hadlee, with Imran number one.

It's like some bad movie, Revenge of the Cod Ordinary Test Nations or something.

Proof democracy is wasted on a lot of people.

tbf it would be a pretty decent side with Imran and Hadlee to open the bowling

 

[Burgey]

Course it would be decent. But it could be better.

 

[Burgey]

Going to enjoy getting to number one to find Bradman failed to make the list.

Will go down with the extinction of the dinosaurs as one of the most heart racing moments of Burgey's life.

My heart doesn't race because I don't have one.

The same reasoning why you'll never get brain cancer or suffer a twisted testicle.

Bradman's overrated tbf. Only two decent teams in his era.

When do we get the next stanza in the Subcontinent/ NZ Über Alles Countdown, Smiley?

 

[NUFAN]

He said tonight when I asked him earlier. Burgey, who are expecting in the next 5? I'll give you 5 Hindmarsh crack shots if you get them all correct.

 

[morgieb]

I'm gonna put this out there - Bradman won't be #1.

 

[Hurricane]

So it should be a few West Indians and (rightly) the rest will be Australians from here on in.

[Burgey]

Difficult given demographics here, but I'll guess:

Ponting
Miller
Dev
Sehwag
Hammond

Ftr, I haven't checked to see if any of them have been included already.

Mind you, wouldn't surprise me if we get Vonod Kambli, Kohli, Mohammad Asif, Andrew Jones and Kumble.

Expecting a top five of Tendulkar, Gavaskar, Akram, Hadlee and Imran. Which will only prove how many cast iron dribblers there are on CW if it transpires.

 

[DingDong]

knowing the demographics of this forum i fully expect to see a matthew hayden or a damien martyn in the next 10.

Equally dire.

my one regret is not sending my list because i don't think bradman was even close to making my top 50

I sent mine and deliberately omitted the Poor Man's Lillee from across the ditch, just to annoy you.

Only echoing the words of those who played against them both.

Not that blokes who've scored thousands and thousands of test runs would know more than an unco, acne headed 19 year old whose idea of sporting prowess is doing well at Stick Cricket as they over dose on soft drink and Mars Bars before going out for their weekly walk to the mail box to get their quota of exercise*.


* I explicitly exclude you from this btw mate.

 

[Flem274*]

Lol at internet forum posters calling other internet forum posters nerds.

People who have played against Vettori think he's a wicket taker tbf.

But by all means, we will shut the forum down, since we are all so uneducated and unfit to comment.

In my list Hadlee and Tendulkar were in top 10. I had to exclude Warne, Miller and Lillee from my top 25 because my top 25 had only 25 places.
