CW Top 50 Cricketers of All Time - 2nd Edition

[morgieb]

Worst Top 50 of all time.

 

[kyear2]

I have found one person on CW who rates Marshall higher than kyear2. Didn't know it would be you n00fers

Actually now I think about it, Heathdavis Speed had Marshall 1st. Could be mistaken, but I believe so.

 

[Pratters]

First Top 50: 2009
Second Top 50: 2012

Reckon some one should start with a Top 50 project again since it is almost 3 years now. Will be interesting to see changes in the list. We should do it every 3 years as well..

 

[kyear2]

I agree. Steyn and Sangakkara to make massive moves upwards.

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah, I reckon both of them will be in most 25s.

It hasn't even been 3 years yet

but yeah Steyn, Sangakkara to definitely massively improve their ranking.

 

[Pratters]

I can see some nice trends emerging. Players who are retiring or near retiring would have highest rankings yet. For instance, if this was done in 2004 or so, Steve Waugh could have cracked the top 15 or 20. A slight slide in the ensuing decade after retirement to get a more stable spot after a decade or so after retirement say.

Donald is some how not that highly ranked in the two lists. His record in Australia, the presence of other quicks in that era and lesser South African voters all have a part to play I think. Steyn might beat Donald given Steyn is widely regarded as the best fast bowler of the last 5-7 years.

There needs to be a more vigorous Jardine rule if we are going to do it again.

"might"

 

[kyear2]

If we do one again, the votes should be public this time.

 

[Spark]

If we do one again, the votes should be public this time.

this might work, but really we just need people to keep their **** together and not send in joke/troll lists

 

[kyear2]

Agreed.

If you don't take it seriously, don't vote.

 

[Hurricane]

There was a bit of a witch hunt last time to find out who hadn't voted for don as their number 1. So I think we have to be aware making the lists public will lead to some recriminations

 

[Hurricane]

Agreed.

If you don't take it seriously, don't vote.

I propose you should have to take an atg exam in order to vote. Anyone not able to write three paragraphs about Keith miller to be abruptly exterminated.

 

[ankitj]

I propose having Ikki and Kyear screen the submitted lists.

Easy fix: vote for Don as your number 1.

 

[longranger]

Easy fix: vote for Don as your number 1.

Isn't that a given?

 

[G.I.Joe]

Isn't that a given?

No

 

[cnerd123]

Flat track bully who played crappy bowlers in an easy era. Sachin Tendulkar for number 1 any day.
