Cricketer Of The Year
I may not agree with the way some of the voting has gone, but this particular post has some many flaws I don't know where to start. Perhaps the fact that there are 34 names on a list purporting to rank the Top 32 sums up the accuracy.

I think it might be 33. Walsh is joint 15th and at 17 on his own. Statham is joint 22nd and number 27 on his own.
Haha my bad, so I used the list that was voted for and then edited it. i just forgot to delete the names no longer needed.
But beyond the editing, any cricket based criticism or did you just wanted to be THAT kid in class?

Whatever it takes!!!
This sub section of your post has me shaking.

This is an even worse list because you've moved Ntini up one. I don't even have anything against the guy - I just find it utterly bizarre anyone thinks he's the 18th/19th best fast bowler of all time.
Also LOL at Dale Steyn down that low. Ntini's own mother would slap you hard for rating Ntini and Dale Steyn so close together.
Subshakerz confirmed.

Not enough Kiwis. Bond, Cowie, Wagner, and Southee are all better than Stuart Broad.
Only 1 (Sir Richard) and he's 6th while Wasim is 2nd and ahead of MM! Ntini in the top 20 and no Adcock!!!??
Steyn way too low at 11th. Should be 5th/6th easily.

You fail to recognise the (Pak) passion in that list ?

You can see his confusion though - this from the same dude that was utterly flummoxed that Ashwin was voted in ahead of Qadir.

Sarfraz Nawaz???
177 wickets in 55 tests at 32.75?????
32nd best pace bowler of all time????
Perhaps 232nd best.
Look at all the quality Aussie quicks not on your list who are/were better than SN: Cummins, Davidson, Johnson, Thomson, Reid, McDermott, Harris, Clark, Johnson, Starc, McKenzie, Hazlewood etc.

Seen his **** in the other thread?
Bumrah, who now averages something like 15 at home, has benefited from not playing too many home tests cos of Indian roads.
But Asif, who averages 42 from just 4 tests in Pakistan, is better than Bumrah.

Southee for no.34

What will happen to Pakistanis if bumrah becomes the no 1 Asian bower. The one thing they had over india will be gone hahaha

Hadlee, Ambrose, Steyn all too high in that list imo. Ntini and Nawaz too low. Why isn't Rubel Hossain there ffs ?
