Ranjii

Though Statham may have got my vote, if he'd been in this round:)

Ranji on the basis that Statham didn't get this far, so Bedser doesn't deserve to be here either.

Ranji edges one, but it goes sailing through the slips. 7-6 to the prince.

That concludes the second round & means the following giants of the game are into the quarters: Knott, Hobbs, Barnes, Grace, Boycott, Laker, Hammond & Ranjitsinhji.

The draw, as ever, has been made at random & let's hope Ranji has kept a little in the tank because he's up again!

Boycott, all the way. Not that I'm biased or anything.......


And no mention of AP Freeman in the list, he's the 2nd highest first class wicket taker of all time I think.

Pity I missed the last vote - I would have voted for Bedser (I did vote for Statham too).

Anyways, on this one Boycott it is.
