Ranking the Batsmen

Border.... Miandad next

 

[chaminda_00]

Kenny Barrington must be the most under rated cricket ever. Fair enough that maybe Border, Dravid and Miandad are slightly better, but the guy has hardly had a vote through out the whole comp, really should make the top 20, atleast 25.

Might keep voting for him until he gets in on principle, unless Trumper gets a massive amount of votes.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Dravid again. Border next if he doesn't get in now.

Border

Should I continue this beyond the top 25? If so, why? The original plan was to stick to a top 25 to give it an exclusive feel and not overdo it.

 

[nightprowler10]

Stick to 25. Unless no Pakistani gets in, then go 50...and so on.

Miandad

 

[Matt79]

Trumper. Pure class on and off the field.

 

[Jono]

Allan Border.

Absolute dead set gun. What a hard nut.

 

[Fusion]

Miandad

Trumper. Pure class on and off the field.

Mainly off.

Go to top 30 for batsmen and top 25 for bowlers IMO, still some quality batsmen to come IMO. Bowlers there not much left TBH.

 

[Matt79]

Mainly off.

Dravid.

Go till 26. Then we'll have the top 25 batsmen excluding Bradman, for whom tbh there really never is going to be much debate. Going too far beyond 25 really defeats the purpose though, as it is supposed to be an exclusive group, and part of the fun is debating who should/should not have been left out.
