NUFAN
Y no Afghanistan flag
I know there is already several all time great threads, but I thought we could try something a little different.
I'm looking to see if we have enough interest where we work as a group to create a checklist of sorts that a Cricketer should be striving to accomplish to be considered an all time great. Obviously opinion will be divided, and of course the final list wont mean that everyone should follow this framework moving forward. I also ask that we don't get too specific to make the criteria suit your favourite player, so taking a Test hattrick at the Gabba in a draw will not make the list (although taking a hatty might).
I think we should be aiming at around 8 - 12 options.
I'm not exactly sure the best way to work this out but if people offer their own suggestions or expand on other ideas, we can then have some sort of vote.
To start it off, I'm going to nominate:
- A bowler must have a very dominate series. They need to take 6 or more wickets per Test at an average below 20. If the series is only 2 Tests, the average should drop to below 17.5 (I just think it is easier to do it over 2 Tests, compared to more.
