Haha, just had a read through the topic - brilliant stuff. I actually noticed the post count from TheSean's impersonator as I opened the topic so did question the validity immediately. ;) Its a shame we didn't run this in about three and a half months' time and post it on April the 1st...

I wonder if it would have worked as well if Monty Panesar had been used instead of Bradman
Nah, I would have assumed it was a joke from Sean, even without checking the name and/or post count. Especially as he had already confirmed the ten remaining cricketers.

Sobers might have been a good one - some people would probably have been more inclined to try and defend that "result". But the instant outrage that led more than a couple to post angry rants before reading the whole thread might not have been so pronounced.

Bradman at 8 has the perfect combination of shock value without stretching the limits of incredulity imo. Sobers at 8 doesn't score as well on the first front imo, and Monty Panesar at 8 doesn't score well at all on the second :p

The delay in the creation of a duplicate thread is making me wonder whether this might be an elaborate double bluff
