Still time to vote is there? How many players can I vote for? Will bagapath or Uppercut get upset if I vote Vettori at #1?

Yeah Heef, still time - send 'em through.

NB. Lists not including Keith Miller don't get counted.

[fredfertang]

I'm impressed - none of the irrelevancies so beloved of some posters - 'cept the presence of Hamish Marshall of course

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Nyadhu

?

@ Fred.

Strauss, Gibbs and Vaughan somewhat puzzling, I have to say...

 

[The Sean]

?

Fixed - I'd just copied it from the nomination, not taking into account it was spelt wrong. Good spot.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

Who is Hamilton? Seriously troubled by the fact I don't know who he is...

 

[fredfertang]

looks like I missed it!

 

[Furball]

Gavin Hamilton.

 

[bagapath]

Gavin Hamilton.

WTF? Why is Ravi Shastri not there, then?

 

[Furball]

WTF? Why is Ravi Shastri not there, then?

Obviously because no-one has voted for him.

 

[fredfertang]

Is Sean going to tell us who nominated Gav?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Thought it would be pretty obvious. The poster from Scotland above you, surely. Also mentioned something about how important players were to him getting involved in cricket.

 

[Fusion]

Sent.

 

[GIMH]

?

@ Fred.

Strauss, Gibbs and Vaughan somewhat puzzling, I have to say...

I nominated Vaughan

 

[Magrat Garlick]

I nominated Vaughan

+ 24 Englishmen?

I mean, I can probably think up 25 English players before him...

 

[GIMH]

That's why it's my list not yours

 

[The Sean]

WTF? Why is Ravi Shastri not there, then?

Because no one has voted for him. Everyone has their own definition of exactly what constitutes "greatness" to them, hence us getting a great cross-section of players nominated so far.

Is Sean going to tell us who nominated Gav?

At the end of it all I'm happy to share the spreadsheet which shows exactly who voted for who, provided everyone is ok with that information being shared.

 

[Pothas]

Yeah, will be interesting to see who I voted for that no one else has.

 

[bagapath]

Because no one has voted for him.

I was just being sarcastic, dude.

 

[Jungle Jumbo]

If I was a betting man, I'd stake a fair amount on none of my choices being nominated by me alone...
