2024 Ranking of Batsmen Poll

[Line and Length]

Gooch has been. I am pretty sure it was just a mistake from L&L's part to ask to vote from 51, as he previously stated Gooch got the 51st rank

Quite right. I was still in holiday mode. We are voting for 52-54

Only 10 voters thus far for this round. We need more to gain a broader consensus. Perhaps those who said 50 was enough were right.

12 voters are probably not "broad" per se, but without meme votes, a valid consensus imo.
