Bill Johnston gets in the spinners list - I mean I appreciate he did bowl a bit of slow left arm but how many wickets did it take - a dozen?
and then Abdul Qadir doesn't - his methodology doesn't appear totally absurd, but I am struggling to take those lists seriously |

However, I did like his middle era (1920-1969) bowling attack. Shows reasonable taste; Trueman - Larwood - Davidson - Grimmett - Bedi |

My top 100 for batsmen and bowlers will be revealed by June. I'm halfway there.

I might have mentioned this before, but I'm really surprised by some of the bowlers whose averages ease under standardisation - McGrath in particular taking a bigger hit to his average than many of the great pacemen of the '80s and '90s, despite playing a lot more of his career in what most of us consider a far more batsman-friendly era. He takes a bigger hit than Murali as well, despite Murali playing a far higher percentage of his Tests against the likes of Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. I've got no issue with Murali at number one, incidentally, but I just find McGrath's numbers a bit of an anomaly.
