International Captain
With 24 total votes, I think this round had a decent participation rate. 3 players with 13 votes claims spots for themselves, with Grace leading the bunch with people either voting him in Top 3 or 4, or not voting for him at all; and Warne missed out with the most votes gotten at 11.
Here are the results:

Agree with most of the list but did you leave Marshall because you have considered ODIs as well? For me personally I only used ODIs as a distinction factor where players are really close in tests. So the top three test bowlers made it easily. But Murali above Warne for example.

I personally think Tendulkar, Viv, Mcgrath and Murali for being absolute top tier ATGs in both formats deserved their due. Beyond that test cricket was my majority criteria and no way was I gonna rank Warne above Marshall for that

I left Marshall because I considered ODIs as well..... Don, Grace and Sobers were automatic top 3; and then I had 3 bowlers, 1 allrounder and 2 batsmen close. Hobbs had FC and Sachin ODIs were they were too good, Imran was also were close to automatic and great in ODIs as well, as was Hadlee; and McGrath was the best ODI bowler. Murali despite being slightly below Marshall got a big ODI push, and Viv being the ODI GoAT got a massive one.
