Brian Statham; high quality operator

Peter Pollock; just ahead of his contemporary Adcock.

Jeff Dujon; integral part of a winning team over a long time.

Lance Gibbs; it's a bit of a toss-up between plenty of spinners at this point, taking Lance because he has a pretty even record overall.

State 12th Man
Spofforth
Tyson

Dujon

Gibbs

Also could we add Bill Johnston and Merv Hughes (my personal fave) into the pace bowling shortlist for next time if they're not already in there?

Frederick Spofforth and Peter Pollock to take the new ball.

Wilfred Rhodes for the spinners slot.

No worries. I'll also add Ernie Toshack since he's a personal favourite of mine (and of my grandmother, she swooned over him). Sounds good Nuf, will you take the next lot?

Yeah I will take the next couple. But just letting you know from June 4 to June 7 if you could do the organising it would be great. I'll still vote but I'm going to TRY and limit my CW activity on those few days as much as possible.

Just for a bit of Collingwood/Camberwell Magpies pride. Really not sure who to pick out of that group, haha.

Peter Pollock

Quality bowler, and more than handy as a batsman.
