CW Top 50 Cricketers of All Time - 2nd Edition

[morgieb]

Keen to see what upsets are there on the list.

 

[marc71178]

actually a player needs to be voted by at least 4 people in order to break into the top 25 so this year the list should be safer

****ing joke.

 

[smash84]

that was decided earlier on after getting in some suggestions from the members.

What was your take on this?

 

[marc71178]

To keep it simple, 25 points down to 1 point, worked perfectly last time.

As I previously said:

Any attempt at removing players is unnecessary censorship IMO and ensures the list doesn't end up as what it purports to be.

How do you come to the conclusion in bold?

Possibly The Sean, possibly.

On an similar note - Whenever someone just writes Miller, I've been sharing the votes between Keith, Colin and Geoff dry:

The only significant moans last time were when the Bradman at 8 troll happened.

Fine.

I'll discuss with NUFAN towards the end and we will take a call once the nominations have stopped coming in.

 

[sledger]

Sent.

It would be interesting to compare the number of people that sent in nominations last time to the current excercise. One would expect the number to rise based on the forum (hopefully) growing in the past few years. Did The Sean disclose how many total nominations we got last time?

It was 40-odd last time IIRC. On track to be considerably more this time around I think.

 

[smash84]

not sure about considerable more though......

we got in a lot of entries in the beginning but now the entries coming in seems to have slowed down a fair bit.........

come on CWers send your vote

That's what happened last time too as I recall, which is understandable.

 

[smash84]

some of the regular CWers have not sent in their vote for which I am a bit disappointed......

 

[Pothas]

Just realised this was test cricket only, which I rather ignored. Sent it now anyway.

Thanks for the answer!

 

[smash84]

We are around 50 so far......with 3 days to go I would be happy if we can touch around 75

 

[zaremba]

smali, perhaps you and/or Sean could pm those who contributed lists last time and who haven't done so this time? Or perhaps just those who are regular forumers? Only if you have the energy and time obviously.

 

[Howe_zat]

Actually, I think the changing tastes of CW could be an interesting part of this.

Of course - but the larger the group of contributors the better.
