Tough Draw for Botham, but it has to be Barnes.

Botham was one of my cricketing hero's as a young 'un - but it has to be Barnes.

Barnes

Botham is far less funny than Atherton and Hussain on Sky.

Beefy makes his exit; Hissing Syd (as he almost certainly wasn't known) advances 13-5.

Next up, two legends from the far off black & white days of yore:

Oh, nightmare, Rhodes for me.

Hes got no chance against the Doctor, though.

Yet I'll mention it again, more first-class wickets then anyone else in the history of the game, plus close to forty thousand runs scored for Rhodes.

Forget the thing mentioned before, about him being the archetypal Yorkshireman, it only seemed to lose Wilfred votes in the last round

 

[Beleg]

I like Rhodes.

Rhodes.

Good riddance. He can accompany his son down to hell now.

Good God!

That is a toughy...hmmmm...however I shall go with the good doctor.

Grace for me.
