It's about favorite cricketer. Not many know about Tiger.Pataudi be seriously under-rated IMO. The dude was a test class batsman with ONE EYE!!!
But then again, why I am saying this, I voted for Pataudi.

Dennis Lillee (1949-)
Among the world's best bowlers for a 15-year career
Broke Lance Gibbs' record of most Test wickets, despite nearly two years in WSC
10/127 against West Indies at Melbourne in 1981, helping a 58-run win; West Indies only drew the series after Lillee broke down

Has to be DK Lillee. Very easy choice for me, has to be my favourite fast bowler.

Very harsh pitting him against Lillee really.
No-one has approached Fry's all-round sporting achievements. Equalled the world long-jump record, scholarship to Oxford, played in the FA Cup Final, twice (retrospectively) Wisden's Leading Cricketer in the World, male model. What a life.

Would go for Fry but struggle with his politics so if Burgey can vote for Jardine I really ought to be able to go for Lillee

.... and of course there are those who question Fry's ***uality - but happen I'd best leave that one alone

CB Fry, remember hearing about him when I went on the lords tour, sounded amazing!
