CW's 100 Greatest Cricketers Poll

Cricketer Of The Year
Just my opinion but 100 Greatest Ever feels lot better than top 101. I would personally suggest having the guy with more vote at 90 and guy with lesser at 91 and then go for 9 cricketers in the last round to complete the top 100.
A very good suggestion, but as each round had 10 nominees, don't want to change that now. And tbh, I actually wanted a 101 list when I began..... So will keep it that way unless a few more regular voters asks me to do otherwise (still will be 10 votes just will rank 9, or wil ignore the last vote from everyone). So for now, vote for 10 players please.

16 voters here. 45 players got votes. Some close rankings down the line, including a tie for the 90th spot. Decided to give one 90th and the other 91st and make it 101 in total.
Wasn't a tie for 90th as Kumble has more votes than Shakib. Rules have been clear throughout that if a tie the player with most votes goes above other player, so why change the rules right at the end 😞

If Shakib is as worthy as you think he would have been legitimately voted 91 anyway so don't see the point

The points were a tie and the votes were the tie breaker. In ideal case, the tie breaker was to be used to rank one over the other when both gets ranked. The idea was the suppose points tied between two players for the 33rd spot, one with more votes will be 33rd and the other 34th, that it was to break only one rank, not rank one and not rank the other. When I posted the query, I made it well clear that the votes weren't equal and also didn't post the name of the players to avoid any biases, but the overwhelming consensus was still that both should get ranked. I am sorry if you felt I was breaking my rules, as that wasn't my intentions.

That's fair. But we have already ranked 91 players. If you are interested to vote, then please vote for players not already ranked. You could find the list of those 91 at post no. #380 (the last post of the previous page).

Is it only 9 players instead of 10 to list here then? I've edited one out in that case.
