That's when you know that your work is great. Polarizing af.There’s going to be some happy posters and some posters will never want to hear my name again after this countdown is done.
Actually Border could end up higher than Bradman, worth keeping that in mind.Good to see Normie O'Neill get a run in this list. A bloke barely mentioned in dispatches. By all reports an absolutely horrible starter, but once he got to 20 he was insanely good. Was one of the first blokes lumbered with "The New Bradman" tag.
Terrific to see this thread up and about, as DOG always produces a lot of good discussion with his efforts.
Presumably the countdown ends at 3 though, as Bradman at one and Border two are absolute locks.
There's no way DoG makes this thread if his formula somehow produces Bradman somewhere other than 1. He'd tinker with it further. The man has a reputation!Actually Border could end up higher than Bradman, worth keeping that in mind.
If he's ahead of Taylor, Boon and O'Neill in the top 100, then there's a glitch in DoG's matrix.Actually may be Warner. No idea tbh. Watson?
Can't be done. As I said, he's second only to Bradman. If it has been done, then the artifice will be exposed for what it is.To be fair, I tinkered with it a lot in an effort to keep AB out of the top 50.
