CW Top 50 Cricketers of All Time - 2nd Edition

[smash84]

Hey Smali, I reckon a good idea would be to make a list also of the players that were mentioned and see how much they rose or fell in compared to the last time and also who came and who didn't make the list this time.

The rank in the previous edition is included in the profiles. Also the total number of points they got is also there

 

[Ikki]

Yeah, I know you're doing it as you go. I meant like a final table which is more viewable and comparable.

 

[smash84]

yeah.....will probably post it

 

[honestbharani]

Is it still open for voting, I mean at least the top 20?

 

[Cevno]

Yep, as long as you promise to keep Bradman and Warne out.

For goodness sake, this exercise is being taken far too seriously. Turn over our lists so someone can check they're up to his standards? ****ing lol. I'll send him a list of 25 current Central Districts cricketers instead. I'm sure he will no doubt find solace that an Australian born player will be number one.

 

[Burgey]

Smiley,
Can you send my list back to me please?

 

[silentstriker]

I nominate the baroda ranji team in lieu of Burgeys list.

Should send In international election monitors tbh.

It's telling that Burma can have a better run election than this

Ikki's posts about Warne are seriously weird though. I get that he rates Warne really, really highly, but is people not thinking Warne is one of the greatest twenty five cricketers ever really that new an experience for him? I absolutely love Warney and he snuck in at #23 for me; certainly no bias against him from me and I almost left him off. I'm sure most if not all people who omitted Warne altogether did so legitimately; he doesn't seem like someone you'd leave off to troll to me.

Warne not making someone's top 25 would be surprising to me, unless the person grew up watching him get slaughtered in India, time after time.

It was actually quite noticeable doing the tallying up that many people who did include Warne within their top 25 had him right in front of or right behind the same Cricketer. I'll mention it later if Warne makes the top 20.

Warne not making someone's top 25 is understandable. Although didn't he make everyone's list last year?

McGrath, you mean?

It's interesting - for many players, their estimation drops significantly after they retire and fade from active memory. I do not think Warne will be one of those players (considering the paucity of spinners at his level), but it'll be interesting to see the differences in how people rate Murali and Warne five or ten years from now.

 

[Jono]

Warne fell out of everyone's top 25 because he got a facelift/plastic surgery and looks like a dickwad now.

 

[Prince EWS]

Probably Murali.

NUFAN......no revelations please.....this will only cause more controversy

 

[Burgey]

Smali or Nufan, can you send my list back to me via email please. I've frgotten who I placed where, and precisely who I left out.
