John Woodcock's 100 Greatest Cricketers

[capt_Luffy]

I wonder - if we did do an actual say, “CW 100” what would be a good way to go about it. Whether just voting on the 100 cricketers, or how Geoff Armstrong did his book (9 XIs and a 100th man).

Then of course we’d have to determine the criteria. Is it Test + FC, Test + ODI, Test + ODI + T20 or just everything?

Souds kinda interesting. As we already had batsman/bowler polls recently for Tests, I think all forms of the game works best.

That would be great. Maybe everything should be considered while giving test the most importance (and FC for the way older players)

CW50 was done in 2009 ig? Would like to see how much things have changed.

Might get more voters by letting each choose their own criteria. No need to introduce all-time teams into it.

Up to the individual to include/exclude/weight white ball, non-Test, old players, secondary skills, etc. Also allow each voter to name as many, or as few, players as they want - up to 100.

Only allow comments on other people's choices from those who have posted their own list.

Should older folks like Alfred Mynn be included ?

Unless there are time frame restrictions, I don't see why not. It's a list covering the History of Cricket.

Depends on each individual as what they consider greatness. I consider impact on the game to be a very big factor, as is to be ahead of your peers and definitely don't think how they would perform in "modern times" should get much importance. So yes, I believe definitely, as we are basically judging the history of cricket.

Yeah do it. Are you thinking about taking votes or are you gonna do all by yourself?

Great. Go for it.

Ofcourse taking votes, or else it would had been just a personal list. Just posted the poll.
