Hmm at least 7 bowlers in the top 50?? Not bad. Too bad we (wi) probably won't have any more for who knows how long...

In addition to Hall, I think these 7 can't miss the countdown: Marshall, Ambrose, Walsh, Holding, Garner, Roberts, Gibbs. So at least 8 in all.

Edit: Gibbs already appeared.

Did I miss Colin Croft in the 51-100?

Did he have a good enough record to bake this list? He didn't take a huge amount of wickets and nor did he have a great average. He has a reputation but statistically I'm not sure how good he was.

He'll be talked about long after Peter Siddle is forgotten......and he made the list.

Indeed. I must be mixing him up with someone else. I thought his average was 30.

I just checked. I'm mistaking him for Benjamin. My bad.

Turns out that Croft had a very similar career to Harris/Reid. 27 tests each, low 20s average, 110+ wickets ( >4 wpm).
