Sanz,

You can only nominate OR second one person in each category. I'll leave it for an hour or 2 and if you have not been able to change it I will take your vote as seconds for Jardine and Venkat. If you do have chance to edit it then great.
Cheers

Here is hoping the rules work :) I guess they can be edited if no-one makes it in.

You choose 2 players from each category on the ballot.
If a someone/something is included in 75% of the ballots then they/it are elected into the Hall or Awarded the Order of Merit.

The first few ballots are going to be very tough as pretty much everyone nominated would probably deserve to go in. The fun debates will come later when the "obvious" choices have gone in. Can't wait! By the way, how long is the voting period?

Hall of Fame
Imran Khan
Gary Sobers

Order
Dickie Bird
Richie Benaud

Hall

Bradman
Sobers

Order:

Benaud
Flower

Edit: May I make the suggestion that in the event that no one gets the required 75 %, the two with the most votes go in a straight knock-out for 24 hours to determine one place for the month's ballot?

I will leave the voting open until the end of Thursday or unless the thread is not posted on for 24 hours and then announce the 1st Class of Inductees into the Hall and the recipients of the Order.

Nice idea this, now that it's a bit more obvious what's going on. :p

As has been said, a lot of worthy people will miss out this time, but they can get in later.

Wouldn't a separate poll be easier to follow?
