1- Lillee

Poor management cost him an extra 100 test wickets IMO.

There are about 15 bowlers ranked No. 2, but it's hard to compare a swinger like Waqar Younis to Curtly Ambrose even if both could make you look stupid with 1 delivery.

Lillee's already in at #8, we're currently voting for #11 (you're supposed to provide a primary as well as secondary choice) - go back a few pages for the current list.

Wouldn't mind those two opening the bowling for my all-time World XI (in ODIs definitely; in Tests maybe)

Wasim is getting a truckload of votes, and Davidson strangely isn't getting any. So, my primary vote goes to Davidson, and secondary to Wasim (wouldn't mind to vote the other way).

1. Allan Davidson
2. Wasim Akram

And yes, I give up on Lohmann, at last. The Lohmanns and the Spofforths aren't being liked by today's cricket-lovers, somehow (or they don't want to vote for nineteenth century cricketers, which is not true as Grace is at no. 6 in the batsman's thread)
