2024 Ranking of Bowlers Poll

shortpitched713

International Captain
If you want a Pakistani bowler atleast peak Shoaib or Fazal Mahmood .
Those are supposed to be throwaway ( or maybe for sale *wink *wink ), votes. I can't honestly say I've done enough analysis to fairly determine who the next best is, after a top 20-25 or so. Philander is the only one I feel is being really aggrieved by dropping so low.

A bit disappointing the number of voters (11) this roundf. The fact that we still had 16 nominations is indicative of how difficult separating those towards the end of a poll becomes.
11 - Philander; 8 - Botham. Lyon, Bishop; 7 - Dev, Snow; 5 - Hazelwood, Hall, Larwood, Akhtar; 3 - Tyson; 2 - Umar Gul;
1 - van der Bijl, Brad, Gillespie, Aaqib Javed.
After failing to appear in the 2022 pacers poll, Philander now ranks 27th in that category. Was he overlooked for the same reasons that Barnes and Bedser were? Botham takes the next spot by virtue of having 5 nominations compared to Bishop and Lyon with 3 each. They share 43rd place overall.
Compared with the 2022 standings (and disregarding the addition of Barnes, Bedser and Philander), Botham is up 7 places, Bishop down 2 and Lyon up 3.

Voting is now open for positions 45-47

Please note, this round of voting will remain open until 2-3pm AWST - a number of hours later than usual. This is because I'm playing 18 holes of golf tomorrow followed by lunch and I won't have time to tally and post before than.
This time slot (2-3AWST) will continue through the rest of this poll and during the Batsmen Poll I will start on the weekend.

Do we have the list of 2022 voted bowlers who are missing from this list so far? Can help refresh memory of voters.
