2024 Ranking of Bowlers Poll

This for me too I think.

In 2022 we had two separate polls to determine the Top 40 Pace men and the Top 30 spinners.
The results are readily available but there are obvious anomalies. For instance Barnes and Bedser, two excellent bowlers, missed out simply because they weren't regarded as true quicks. In addition, current players such as Cummins, Bumrah, Ashwin etc may be more highly regarded than they were 2 years ago.

To conduct this poll I will ask CW members to nominate 3 players on a 3,2,1 basis to determine the first 3 on our new ranking list. I will allow 3 or 4 days for voting and then declare the first 3 positions. Following that the process will be repeated to determine the next 3 spots. This will continue until a Top 50 is established.

Any questions? If not, I'll declare the poll open in a few hours from now.

We're doing a batsman then cricketer list thereafter?

We're doing a batsman then cricketer list thereafter?

I intend doing a poll for wicketkeepers and one for batsmen.

The votes are in for positions 10-12 and, once again, the 4th ranked bowler from the previous round takes top spot.
