You can define Greatness as you may seem fit; be it impact, consistency, peak or even innovation, in any way shape or form you deem fit. As for formats, its a 100 Greatest Cricketers List. You can take it as Test only, Test + FC, Test + ODI, Test + ODI + T20 + FC + Grade, only T20s..... Give preference to any format any way you may seem fit. Same for the primary skills, secondary skills, fielding, captaincy, etc. And again, it's All Time, so feel free to Vote or to not vote for cricketers who played before Test came around, or in the round arm era or under arm era. Vote for the 10 Greatest Cricketers In Order. The first place gets 10 points, second 9, third 8..... Each round will be open for 48 hours.

Is the idea that the first round gives us a top ten and we then move on to pick 11-20, etc.?
Anyway, I'll vote for

WG Grace

Muttiah Muralitharan

Okay if someone has a player outside his top ten but that player qualifies for the top ten then how would that work? Then will he have to remove that player from his rankings? And suppose I voted for a player that didn't get into the top ten. Then would I have to vote for him in the second round?

If someone you voted for didn't make into the current round, you will have to vote for them again in the next round. Vice versa, if someone you didn't vote makes here, you will not longer vote for them.
