Greenidge was my first fav batsman growing up, but Harvey was by all accounts special and should have been off the board by now.

Think some very questionable decisions were made when we got to #20ish. Boycott coming below Divalliers was the death knell for this list. Now it's just great batsmen in the order we remember them.

Neil harvey

 

[The Sean]

I've lost track a bit as well with all the names on the list (and this is my fault, no one else's!) insofar as there are a few guys (Kohli and Worrell to name two) who I was sure had already been selected and am now realising haven't been.
