Battle of the West Indians

I say let the one-sided battles run at least 12 hours. It takes the fun out of battles when they go too fast as some of them did in the battle of the subcontinent.

Yeah, I knew before that battle had started that Croft was going to win, but anyhow. When someone becomes 7-0 up, I will call it quits.

With no seedings though, let's just hope we don't end up with Sobers v Viv/Marshall in the first round!
At times like this, I usually switched things around a bit in the battle of the Aussies. Pretty sure I had McGrath vs Miller in the first round, I switched things around a bit and ended having that same battle as the grand final. Don't think too many people will complain of that outcome.

I don't agree with that, what if 7 people who like Dave Mohammad vote for him within an hour over Marshall? I think letting it run 12 hours is a better option.

I do have a type of seeding system, if you look at the main page. Sobers, Marshall, Lara, Holding, Garner etc all seem to b nearer to the top of the list, whilst the lesser players are further down.

I'll just use common sense on these ones. On ones olike this, it's clear that Croft is going to win it, but I'll let other go on for longer if there seems to be more open about it.

Personaly, I'd be tempted to vote Viv Richards over Sobers.

How about putting Sober's, Viv, Lara and Marshall into the last 4 and have the rest battle it out for the right to meet them?:unsure:

Croft anyway, obviously. Impressive strike rate the big fella had. Seemed to have a bit of devil about him, which I like in a seamer.

Hmm, missed nominating players.

Surprised that Charlie Davis didnt get a mention.

Id also have had Logie in for his decent batting and great fielding

and John Shepherd was a good cricketer, short test career but Wisden Cricketer of the Year 1979.

Oh well, Id have 'em in, especially given the average nature of a few included.
