The order after 25 is kinda insignificant, especially since we aren't getting a lot of votes.

After 20-25 is where it actually gets more controversial

Gonna mix things up a bit this time around.

Victor Trumper

 

[Zinzan]

Martin Crowe - don't be fooled by the overall average

Boycott

 

[trundler]

Yeah I also thought it weird that De Villiers is getting votes so early. I'm not sure I'd have ahead of Clarke, much less Boycott.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The first person to vote for Clive Lloyd wins a goldfish in a bag.

Why are you not counting my vote for

Adam Gilchrist?

He counted. I see the name in his list.

Boycott

Wait, there are people in the real world who think AB de Villiers was a better test match batsman than Geoff Boycott?

Pass the crack pipe over here please. This is beyond ridiculous. David Gower was probably a better test player than de Villiers, let alone Boycott. FMD he's not fit to carry Boycott's jock strap as a test player. Anyone who thinks he is should be perma'ed and then go on a waiting list to have their lobotomy reversed.

So I take it that you’re in favour of Boycott over de Villiers.....
