a massive zebra
International Captain
Wilfred Rhodes and Jim Laker.
Yeah; part of me regrets voting for Botham, especially since I don't rate him as highly as most. It just seemed silly to leave him out though. My Prior vote is starting to look better now though..It's the wisdom of crowds and all, but IMHO Botham at #6 looks like overkill on the bowling front with Hammond's decent seam, the not dire leggies of Kenny Barrington and the good-enough-to-take-a-test-Michelle Chinamen of Compton to call on too.
I just tallied them up as well as you posted this. Thanks mate.Looks like we're going to end up with an attack consisting of 1 x Fast Bowler, 1 x Medium Fast Bowler,1 x Medium Pace Spinner, and 2 x Slow Spinners.
The other ATG teams must be wetting themselves with laughter;
01. Laker = 11
02. Verity = 8
03. Larwood = 6
04. Grace = 5 (what the?)
05. Bedser = 3
06. Tyson = 3
07. Underwood = 3
08. Rhodes = 2
09. Snow = 2
Perhaps we should start again. This time having separate polls - one for the two pace bowlers, and one for the spinners spot???
It's killing me but I think i have to let this out; this side will collapse in a heap many times and someone from top 5 will be stranded alone. It's a serious pressure on top 5 to score heavily, they are very much capable of doing it often but the difference is they will be facing ATG attack. But this extra amount of pressure might bring out the best in them.Looks like we're going to end up with an attack consisting of 1 x Fast Bowler, 1 x Medium Fast Bowler,1 x Medium Pace Spinner, and 2 x Slow Spinners.

Or just take the most popular spinner, and the most popular pace bowler from this exististing poll? That would give us Laker and Larwood thus far.
