CW Ranks the Bowlers

1. Allan Davidson
2. Clarrie Grimmett

Lohmann would have come ahead of these two in an ideal scenario...But, he's got no practical chance of winning this one in spite of his superlative record (even compared to his peers)...He got 130 odd wickets in an era when almost no other bowler got more than 100; not only that he averaged almost 10 which is till now the lowest bowling average among all bowlers who have got more than 10 wickets (as far as I remember)...

I don't think Lohmann is too far away from getting a rush of support. He'll be in my next 3-5 picks, and I would back quite a few other posters to feel the same.

I'm overcome! First bloke I've voted for to go in since forever.

1) Waqar Younis
2) Joel Garner


Still banging a drum for Waqar, but the Big Bird isn't far behind. Took his test wickets at less than 21 apiece and his ability to bowl yorkers seemingly at will made him one of the very finest limited overs bowlers too.
