Battle of the CC Posters II

So I think we did this about three years ago...we all know Smitteh is the undisputed King of CW, but if we did a BOTM based on cricket posts alone, who would win? Well now is your time to find out...I am willing to run a battle, I reckon 64 posters might be enough, but it's up for discussion.

Ideas/suggestions on this?

I'm assuming SJS is to be excluded in much the same manner as Bradman?

Sounds good, expecting an SJS whitewash though.

Hmm, up to the masses tbh, never really thought about that.

As an aside, how do nominated members feel about posting who their favourite cricketer is? Just as a little aside to go in the poster details when the battles go up.

For EWS & Uppercut I think I'm right in saying Sinclair & Pollock, could be wrong though

Yeah didn't include Richard as IIRC I read a post of his in the BOTM thread saying he doesn't like to partake in battles.

Only since he started getting knocked out first round, tbh.

Jono's the reigning champ, IIRC?

Be interesting to see how the new blood does; Uppercut's already been mentioned, but Messers fertang and zaremba should go ok in this too.

Brumby and SJS assuming that the above is an offical nomination for Zaremba.
