ODI Bowlers Poll - discussions

[Line and Length]

Rather than clutter our voting thread with comments, this thread is where members can discuss voting trends and state the case for players they see worthy of inclusion. This worked well with previous polls, so it makes sense to continue the practice.
I particularly look forward to reading differing points of view.

Wasim, Garner, McGrath are all getting decent amount of votes to be the GoAT. Will be interesting to see who comes at the top.

Only 6 pace bowlers in history have a bowling average < 22 and a SR < 40 (min 100 wkts) so I'm going with 3 of them

There isn't that much between Hadlee and Holding interestingly

Yeah I picked Holding 3rd originally but gave it to Hadlee last minute.

Keep in mind Shane Bond also took 44 @ 15 against Australia, the strongest ODI sides ever assembled.

As with the ODI batting poll, it would appear that longevity (games played) is a big factor when it comes to voting. However, Wasin Akram receiving more than 5 times the votes received by Richard Hadlee seems out of kilter.
