Line and Length
Cricketer Of The Year
36 hours since our last vote so we can decide the final spinner in our list of 30.
The votes:
Ironmonger 5
Qadir 4
Vettori 1
Mallaett 1
McGain 1
Chauhan 1
Padmore 1
Both Ironmonger and Qadir received a comment that may be interpreted as a vote but this didn't affect the result. The nominations of McGain and Padmore (both obviously in jest), who played a combined total of 3 Tests and had combined figures of 1-284, indicates this thread has ran its race.
I declare Bert Ironmonger the 30th and final spinner on our list.
The List
1. Muttiah Muralitharan
2. Shane Warne
3. Bill O'Reilly
4. Jim Laker
5. Clarrie Grimmett
6. Hedley Verity
7. Hugh Tayfield
8. Anil Kumble
9. Derek Underwood
10. Lance Gibbs
11. Ravichandran Ashwin
12. Richie Benaud
13. Rangana Herath
14. Bhagwath Chandrasekhar
15. Bishen Bedi
16. Nathan Lyon
17. Saqlain Mushtaq
18. Graeme Swann
19. Ravindra Jadeja
20. Subhash Gupte
21. Hugh Trumble
22. Wilfred Rhodes
23. Colin Blythe
24. Johnny Wardle
25. Sonny Ramadhin
26. Erapally Prasanna
27. Stuart MacGill
28. Harbhajan Singh
29. Keshav Maharaj
30. Bert Ironmonger
I will prepare a final list and stats (as with Batsmen and Pace bowlers) for discussion and comments.
