4 of Waugh's nominations were mine but oh well this is taking ages to fill up.

Does Watto deserve a spot over Steve Waugh?
I'd argue so. His bowling, at least at Test level was a lot more valuable than Steve's was.

Also I have no qualms with Boom Boom being there. His bowling is very under-rated for mine. And he's played some cracking innings when he's come off, too.

Dead set, have I just invented Monty Noble in my tiny confused little mind and in reality he doesn't actually exist? It's the only explanation I can come up with that has blokes like Waugh, Hammond, Jayasuriya and Kluesner being on an all-rounders list ahead of him.

Same goes for Trevor Goddard.
