Best ever limited overs batsman, 32 man tournament...... nominations thread

Right well I'm sure everyone remembers these from last year. The batting one was my favourite so I want to rehash it. This time we're guaranteed a different winner since Sobers won't be in it. And with no players from before the 70s being eligible, it's gonna have a very different final 8 to the first batting knockout tourney (which featured Hammond, Hobbs, Hutton, Grace and Sobers)


With strike rates and averages to think about it, this should hopefully be a bit more of a wide open race(though I'm sure people will say it's a waste of time).

HAha you are a good sort. Yes I am quite fickle!

When I spotted how many real Cairns' had played for NZ it had to be done.


Probably more Hadlee's though on second thought.
