I would accept any top ranked batsmen (from the 2022 poll) as being given top votes but, if you can't see what's going on then it's your problem not mine. I'm running this poll in good faith but have been called 'racist' and my integrity questioned for pointing out obviously manipulative/joke voting. I'll count all votes and make rulings accordingly.
LL, relax mate. It was obvious there was tactical voting in the bowlers' thread as well, and for as long as I can remember in CW, in any poll, there has always been tactical voting. You just gotta hope the majority take it seriously and go with that.
kk and @honestbharani about to book a room.
Out of curiosity, who in your opinion is the worst batsman that you would still accept as a non-joke #1?
Any player who averages less than 50 or has played fewer than 25 Tests would obviously be a joke. That leaves plenty of players but I would accept them with a raised eyebrow.
I would take it a step further, there's a list of about 8 or possibly 12 batsmen that outside of that would be obvious trolling.
Noted
Thankfully you are not running the poll
people should be given freewill to vote for whom they think is the best.
Being the moderator, you can obviously remove troll votes. But accusing Tendulkar votes as fake votes is unfair. It is not as if there is no bias from non-Tendulkar or non-Ashwin/Jadeja voters.
