Group G is interesting - Hall, Mahmood and Cowie were all pioneers for their respective countries. Holding is regarded by most as among the top four West Indians ever, and Statham is an extremely well respected bowler. Statistically there isn't much between them all either. Positions 2-5 could have fallen differently on any other day.

Good list that; though Andy Roberts is better bowler than at least 5-6 of them. He was eliminated due to the nature of the league, I guess...Next round will be more interesting.

Edit: Argh, sorry looks like I'm too late for those picks - fairly similar to the final results anyway.
