CW Top 50 Cricketers of All Time - 2nd Edition

[fredfertang]

Because he wasn't that good of a cricketer. Name me one all-time list that he makes.

That's on a par with suggesting John Barnes should be given the freedom of Prenton Park

Bodyline - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That propels him right up the list for me.

That propels him right up the list for me.

And most English fans tbh.

In the "was bodyline justified" thread. It was me against most of the poms on the site.

It ended amicably enough with no one getting overly worked up.

In most parts of Aussie and NZ he is a villain - although this tag is wearing off with the younger generation. Amongst the english he is a leader who achieved much in his time.

 

[NUFAN]

He was talking about Younis Khan I think...

Oh was he? I thought that someone wrote Waqar, oh well.

All the emails submitted so far have been counted and the order is starting to shape up. I'm looking forward to smali's write-ups

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Now I understand why Nufan mentioned Waqar. I though he was asking me why Waqar should deserve to be in a top 25 team. Nufan I was actually talking about Younis Khan when I said I haven't included him.

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah I just worked that out. All good mate.

 

[morgieb]

How many responses have you got?

 

[NUFAN]

About 25 so far, would be nice if we got a few more.

 

[Cabinet96]

Stay open to emails for a while. I'm still working on mine.

 

[NUFAN]

They are open until Thursday, so take your time.

I shall be happy if all 25 in my list make it to the 50. I am fairly confident about 24 of them. Courtney Walsh is the only one who I think maybe unlucky to miss out, because he is quite underrated in CW IMO.

BTW, am I allowed to change my order before the deadline? I think I want to re-order players who were in ranks 3-11 in my initial list.

 

[smash84]

sure.....just mention in the subject mail amended/edited

 

[Spark]

Done.

 

[smash84]

some of the lists that I am getting are hilarious tbh

 

[smash84]

we have around 30 entries so far

There is still 4 more days to go.

If we can have around 50-60 people sending a list in it would be a great......

In the meanwhile should I do separate threads for top 15, top 20 or top 25?

 

[Spark]

Top 15. Top 20-25 is a few threads too many IMO.

 

[smash84]

true......20-25 would get a little tedious for me as well

 

[Spark]

IMO I'd do it in blocks of 5 until 25, blocks of 3 until 16, blocks of 2 'til 10 then do individual threads from there.

 

[smash84]

this sounds like a cool idea too actually......this sounds good.....maybe I'll do this....good idea Spark
