2024 Ranking of Bowlers Poll

[ankitj]

Will be good to have more votes. So far, there has been around 3 pages of votes but only 1 page in this round.

Can't be arsed after 25-30 ranks. There would be too many similar calibre bowlers and many that I'll forget while voting.

Guys, L&L has put in so much efforts for this exercise. The least we can do is to vote and help him complete this exercise till the intended 50.

Just feel that it’s become a fair old bit of a nationalistic flag waving and unfriendly exercise despite L&L’s best efforts.

Not by me. I'm voting Snow now and was/am a major part of the Verity was underrated group but other than that my votes could be considered anything but nationalistic.

Edit: Ah **** we aren't in the debate thread. Sorry L&L.

They're eligible but I wouldn't expect them to be voted into a list of Top 50 Test bowlers
