How much can we justifiably use statistics

Example: Tommorrow if an 'Imran vs Wasim as bowlers' poll comes up in CW, and SJS is absent the result will be different than if he's present and writes one elaborate post describing the qualities as a bowler that Imran possessed and Wasim lacked.

The CW50 avoided the first problem as the vote was done via e-mail and both of your comparisons fell in the direction you advocate. Imran was ranked higher than Wasim and Trumper made the list whilst Hayden didn't feature. In the case of a cricket poll, people will need a good knowledge of the game and its history to provide a reasonable answer. CW did just that I think.
That's largely because it was so magnificently run and managed.
