2024 Ranking of Bowlers Poll

Line and Length

Cricketer Of The Year
Following a request, which I implemented, the 2022 positions were posted in a column for our 2024 Poll for batsmen. As the 2022 bowling polls were for pace bowlers and spinners this seemed impractical for our 2024 bowlers poll but this has been answered by having 2 columns showing the relative positions in each poll.
Our batting poll was extended from the intended 50 to 60 and it has been requested that I extend our bowlers poll on similar lines. Given that pacemen such as Tyson, P.Pollock and Gillespie missed out along with a raft of spinners led by Benaud, Herath, Bedi and Chandresekhar I thought it a resonable request.
Hence I'm reopening this poll to add 10 more names to our 2024 poll.
Voting is now open for positions 52-53.

Thanks to those who voted in my endeavours to expand this list to 60 and match the Batsmen poll.

12 - Chandrasekhar; 6 - Bedi; 5 - Benaud, Hazlewood; 4 - Herath, Gillespie, Johnston; 3 Harris; 2 - Tyson, P.Pollock, ;
1 - Morkel, Jamieson.

We only need 2 more rounds to complete our list of 60 so I would encourage members to join our regulars in voting.

Voting is now open for positions 55-57.
