2024 Ranking of Bowlers Poll

[OverratedSanity]

Spicy controversy brewing here. If @Line and Length indeed edited his post later to include and closed the result just to keep Ashwin out, it goes against his own reasoning for not wanting to have debate in this thread and not being influenced by others' vote. Hmmmmmm interesting

If you are going to accuse me of vote changing, please explain why, in the 4th round of voting, you voted for Akram, Donald and Garner yet, in the following round, you placed Ashwin above Donald and Garner.

Damn, good point. This thread is all kinds of spicy.

 

[Line and Length]

Can we now resume normal voting?

Thanks for this clarification. Sad to see this type of vote manipulation.

@CricAddict You say I "chose a convenient time to close the poll after two posters voted for Verity and then he himself edited his post just today to Verity."

Allow me to clarify a couple of points. I count the votes the same time each day (6 - 7am AWST), allowing time for late votes. I post the results between 8 and 9 AWST each day. On the initial count Verity was already ahead of Ashwin (20 to 17) and, as Davidson was a clear winner, I moved Verity up one spot - not to change the result but to acknowledge spinners in general. Verity was already one of my choices. I was about to post the result when I noted a late vote from centurymaker. This I added in. Since then centurymaker has deleted his votes meaning my edit made no difference.

Because I don't see much difference between the achievements of the 3 of them. And I had no idea two more voters will be saying "this" or something.

And on your above points, I can continue arguing but don't want to do so. Not interested in internet wars. That's for trolls. Let us move on.

Edit: All clarified now between me and L&L. Apologies to L&L for ruining the thread and accusing him and I respect the efforts he has put in for this poll. Let's get the voting going.

L and L definitely had Verity in his top 3 in beginning, no.3 iirc.

A lot of edits yesterday and today by people to get Verity ahead of Ashwin in. Shows how fake the poll is.

The administrator himself has edited his vote to Verity just today and then chooses to close the vote with him just 1 ahead. The admin has 21 nominations so far with not a single person from SC which can be dismissed as unconscious bias but such apparent steps to tamper the vote by someone who runs the poll doesn't look good at all.

This has just become a dick waving contest to see who can pull more people to get their favorite players in.

There have been many polls here where the admin broke ties, And there's nothing wrong with anyone else changing / editing votes.

At the end of the day he has 1 vote just like anyone else. If the ballot this round was that much shorter than previous, you may have a grievance, but otherwise we're talking about the difference between 21st and 22nd and one person's vote.

I have not been taking part so I changed my vote to no vote, while others are making more obvious changes. pot calling the kettle..

 

[kyear2]

Everyone has their own opinion but it should have been left at that. That would have been a fair poll. Not going back and editing votes just to not get him in.

Honestly don't see how it's not fair. I'm sure on one of my posts I said I reserved the right to edit it, just because I wasn't sure.

If he had just voted last would that have bothered you more.

Think @Line and Length is doing a great job and it is time consuming on his part.

 

[CricAddict]

Like I've mentioned already, L&L and I have discussed this separately and sorted it all out. So, let us not continue this discussion anymore.

Yeah thank you to @Line and Length for doing an excellent job.

Verity will do that to people.

Wish I could obliterarate my posts into the ether here. Anyway never mind.
S Pollock
Walsh
Grimmett

Edit: Looks like I was one of the posters who didn't realise Pollock was already taken.

Walsh
Grimmett
Roberts

Will be my selection instead.

Edit again: Just realised Cummins is still there and that was the mistake I made...

Cummins
Walsh
Grimmett

Is my actual selection.
