I was close to selecting 6 people in Group. Such a tough one.

Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
6 of 8 groups are wrapped up, I've bolded them. All voting in them has ceased
2 groups are still alive. They need the 5th and 4th place split.
Next voter has to split these 2 matches. So just keep your vote to these 2 matches because this is a mammoth thing to count and I want to keep moving. We will lock and move on after the next 2 votes.
