Is this the Ben Stokes with the inferior batting average, fewer 5fers no 10fers and almost identical bowling average? Or is there another vastly superior being lurking somewhere?

Well Ben Stokes has an inferior batting average to the great Colin De Grandhomme, and a slightly better bowling average despite CDG having a 6-fer and being a better bowler (and having to compete within a much better attack). Poor Colin, however, is yet to receive a measly vote yet.Is this the Ben Stokes with the inferior batting average, fewer 5fers no 10fers and almost identical bowling average?

Why no votes for Mike Procter?
7 tests is almost double what Barry Richards played, so should be eligible. He's better than the other options. Otherwise Wally Hammond.

Not relevant to his standing as an all rounder, but gee I miss him in the commentary box.
There were no votes for him in the last round.

Why Mankad above Goddard? They seem to be extremely.comparable players, but Goddard's record is better than Mankad's in a bunch of ways.
Goddard above Greig comfortably. An opener averaging 34 is close to as good as a middle order bat averaging 40, and a higher WPM bowler averaging 26 is way ahead of one averaging 32. Nearly triple the career length would means I'd vote Goddard in even if I thought Greig's playing time was a fair bit better.
