Without wishing to overly push a case for my personal favourite, what has happened to all the people who voted for Trumper in the last round? He was a close second to Sutcliffe, and comfortably ahead of everyone else, and yet has now gone backwards.
Ranji is better :p

Speaking from experience, I suspect that people have forgotten who's already in and who's not, scan a few of the immediately preceding posts to see who's currently in contention, and vote for the name that stands out for them.

Think there's been a lot of tactical voting gone on, which I personally have no truck with. Stuck with my boy Ranji since god was a lad.

Noble One

International Vice-Captain
1. B Richards
2. R Ponting

Not dissapointed with the top 14 so far. There are probably 7 or 8 cricketers who are all just as worthy for the next couple of positions.
