Difference is, you can struggle to include Imran in top ten(even though he easy fit in my book) while in case of Miler you would struggle to include him in top twenty
No, actually, I'd rate their bowling about the same to be honest. So if I were struggling to exclude one, I could do so the other. The reason I didn't mention Miller was to base it on other bowlers BP has definitely heard of.

Of course voting means nothing, it would just be nice if the poll was an accurate reflection of individual opinion, irrespective of the result, instead of being manipulated.
It never will be.I mean in another forum alot of members were not rating Bradman probably coz they haven't seen him in action, as such i though most of those individual opinions count for little.I mean ranking Tendulkar,Lara,Richards above Bradman really looked like a joke to me.

If these polls are so important & true reflection of a player's abilities then Imran should surely be greatest in your opinion as he got more than twice the number of votes in Cricinfo's greatest allrounder poll.Here's the link:

It may be a joke, but it was a joke that accurately reflected opinion. This poll no longer does that which makes it an even bigger joke.

I didn't say that "polls are so important & true reflection of a player's abilities". I said that a poll should accurately reflect individual opinion and not be manipulated by multiple posting.

I rate Imran as second best and Sobers as best.
Again i'm not looking much into these polls , not because they didn't come up with Gary Sobers as the best AR, but coz i know lot of ppl just happen to rate current players only.

Keith Miller i would rate as a better all-rounder compared to Imran but as a leader and motivater i think Imran is one of the best of all time.
Btw anybody who rates likes of Tendulkar, Lara and Richards above Bradman seriously have no clue what they are talking about, Bradman is the undisputed king when it comes down to batsmanship :king:

That injury thing also adds a lot to Imran's favour,doesn't it?
I thought you had already made the point about Imran, so I was just adding this about Miller, to show that stats can be misleading:)

Its not like he prefered Ramprakash over Bradman,Imran & Miller are almost equal & it shouldn't be very surprising if someone prefers one over the other in his XI.
I don't have a problem, I was just wondering why, I thought it would be interesting to hear the great mans views, and why Imran and not Miller:)

And I am highly saddened at the polarization of votes. Virtually every Imran poster is a subcontinent guy and virtually every Miller is a non subcontinent guy. I have a feeling that if Miller and Imran switched countries, the results would be equally switched, and that's pretty unfortunate.

I, on the other hand, will continue to not vote and instead judge everyone else. :p
Pakistanis and Indians getting along. Sounds like a good thing to me.

Which is why i don't see much into these polls.If you start another thread, like for example Imran vs Botham, you will see exactly the similar trend.Voting here is not performance based but in most cases based on players nationality and to the region to which he beloged to.

None of those who voted have registered after the start of this debate,Miller & Imran are highly comparable as allrounders & I don't think you should start throwing accusations like that if some people don't vote in favour of your favourite player.
Haha open your eyes and don't be so ignorant mate. It's pretty obvious what's going on with those duplicate accounts.

TBH, whenever BhupinderSingh puts a poll up, regardless of what aspect of Imran's career it deals with, I vote against Imran. He's made me quite intensely dislike Imran by now.

That further confirms what I wrote several pages ago "I think some people voted for Miller because they find the OP's constant hero worship of Imran Khan rather tedious."

Well, as I did say earlier, its genuinely a line-ball, toss of the coin kind of issue for me, but yeah, the contrary element did play a role in my vote ;)
