3 How do you know he hasn't been a regular contributor of this site since April 2007?

If he wrote more articles about Peter Siddle then maybe this theory would have greater credibility

Looking at it I think Wasim Akram was my only wasted vote on someone already through, so if it's permissible I'll change him to Allan Lamb.

Also is everyone happy to select a top 25 or would you prefer to name your top 50 (or have the option for both, with half points the difference - 1st 25, 2nd 24.5 etc). The reason why I ask this is that when you name only 25 there are going to be some people who are in most peoples 30-40 range who might not make the top 50 as indecisive players might gain more top 25 votes.
