What? No, those SR's weren't terrible for the notioriously slow era,
We're not into mediocrity until Harbhajan makes it.

I wanted to close the list at 25 but was persuaded to continue. Having a mathematical mind, I like round figures so we go to 30.

Lyon shouldn't be top 30 that's a disgrace. Shame on you CW

I'll change my vote to Appleyard seeing as a chucker (ie Lock) can't make it. Appleyard was a fine cricketer whose career was ruined by illness and injury.

Since he alternated between spin and medium pace, probably best to disinclude him.
Briggs for me.
