Turner, Lohmann and King are way too low. They should be in the top 40.

I'd say I'm 69.94% sure.

Tbh if he makes another multi, he shouldn't post in this sub forum up until his 200th post, and gain more knowledge about older players and rather post about them.
I'd say look at the Kallis vs Sachin thread he just posted, and has actually edited his post there upon my confrontation
