Gooch is Really overrated. Definitely after the 2000s lot and Cook.

I didn't realize you don't rate Dhoni in your top 100 now.

Just made it and Dhoni didn't make it

 

[sayon basak]

Grimmett not making the Poll of Polls is the biggest shocker from the omitted list, followed by Faulkner, Kanhai, Hill and Nourse

Only Hill and Nourse doesn't appear in the later list of lists.

Wouldn't it have been better to eliminate the fan lists as well as the obviously nonsense ones?
