CW Ranks the Bowlers

Can I ask why people are not voting for Donald yet?
Arguably wasn't even the best seamer in his test side for a lot of his career. I know a lot of batsmen (Mike Atherton for one, and he saw a heck of a lot of SA) rated Pollock as the superior performer.

I'm off sampling bubbly like a posh wanker for the next four days in the Champagne houses of Reims and Epernay, so assuming Lindwall has this one covered my next selections over the coming days will be:

Spofforth
Lohmann
Donald
Davidson
Laker

Please default select for me the top two unpicked bowlers from that list while I'm away.
Here's your vote:

1. Spofforth
2. Lohmann
