The Greats

[roseboy64]

I'm also nominating Michael Holding's 14 wicket haul against England. Don't remember when though. Also, Kumble's ten wickets in an innings against Pakistan in the late 1990s.

 

[Dasa]

I'm nominating the 1960/61 West Tour of Australia. If it's already nominated I'm seconding it. That series is on par with the 2005 Ashes as far as effect on cricket in general.

I second that. That tour was much more significant in it's effect on cricket in general than the 2005 Ashes

 

[honestbharani]

I will second Lara's 400... And I Would like to nominate 17 wickets of Murali at OVal.

 

[suchchin]

I would go for Imran Khan and Sachin Tendulkar

 

[Slifer]

Golden Greats from each country IMHO:

Pak: Akram, Waqar, Imran, Miandad
Aust: Bradman, G. Chappell, Lillee, Warne, Mcgrath, Gilchrist, S. Waugh, A. Border, Miller
Eng.: Hobbs, Hammond, Trueman, Hutton
RSA: Donald, S. Pollock
Ind: Tendulkar, Gavaskar.
Nzl: Hadlee
SL: Murali
WI: Lara, Richards, Marshall, Sobers, Ambrose, Holding.

Constructive criticism is welcomed

 

[Pratters]

I would imagine those would all be nominations.

I will second Holding, Ambrose, Miller

 

[vandemataram]

I would go for Imran Khan and Sachin Tendulkar

Both seconded by me.

 

[Pratters]

The list is increased by 4 as S.R.Tendulkar, B.C.Lara, S.K.Warne and M.Muralitharan have been added to it.

Their vote counts were as follows:

Tendulkar 20/25 (80%)
Lara 21/24 (88%)
Murali 21/25 (84%)
Warne 25/26 (96%)

R.T.Ponting could not make the list with 3/24 votes (12.5%)

The list is now as follows:

D.G.Bradman
G.Sobers
S.K.Warne
B.C.Lara
M.Muralitharan
S.R.Tendulkar

 

[Pratters]

10 more candidates are moved to be added to the list (I initially thought of 5 but I am increasing the number to 10 - some which have got thirded will be put up the next day).

The following are the 10 for which voting has to be done - whether they are great or not for a little more than 33 hours (voting closes 9 PM IST tomorrow)


Ashes
Laxman's 281
Imran Khan
G.D.McGrath
A.C.Gilchrist
S.R.Waugh
I.V.A.Richards
M.Marshall
D.Lillee
J.Kallis

Jacques Kallis - No

Same.

Kallis could improve his rating with a dominant display vs Aus in the next few months (this remains one of the few glitches on his record).

 

[Pratters]

Ashes refers to Ashes 2005, yes?

Nopes Slats meant and nominated Ashes as a series down the years and not Ashes 2005. Ashes has been put up for voting. Ashes 2005 can too of course if it is brought up of course.

 

[archie mac]

Ashes Yes
Laxman's 281 no
Imran Khan no
G.D.McGrath yes
A.C.Gilchrist no
S.R.Waugh no
I.V.A.Richards yes
M.Marshall yes
D.Lillee yes
J.Kallis NO

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

My vote for Ashes is no, then, because it's not specific enough.

 

[Jamee999]

Ashes Yes
Laxman's 281 yes
Imran Khan yes
G.D.McGrath yes
A.C.Gilchrist no
S.R.Waugh yes
