Cricketer Of The Year
Two days elapsed and 10 votes in:

Lawry 3
Trumper 3
Cook 2
Haynes 1
Turner 1

I'm declaring Lawry the 14th name on our list, not as a casting vote but by virtue of the fact he received votes for earlier spots while Trumper didn't.

The List
1. Jack Hobbs
2. Len Hutton
3. Sunil Gavaskar
4. Herbert Sutcliffe
5. Geoffrey Boycott
6. Graeme Smith
7. Bob Simpson
8. Gordon Greenidge
9. Virender Sehwag
10. Barry Richards
11. Matthew Hayden
12. Graham Gooch
13. Arthur Morris
14. Bill Lawry

Voting is now open for the 15th spot.
