2024 Ranking of Batsmen Poll

No

yes

Yes

 

[Coronis]

I am agnostic on doing it so won't vote.

But I will say that if someone else wants to create a new thread, count votes etc for the next 25, including whoever wants to vote on it, they should just go do that if LL doesn't want to continue in this thread.

Surprising for someone involved in politics

 

[Patience and Accuracy+Gut]

Yes

I understand the "Yes" and "Don't care" votes but what exactly is the reasoning for No? It's not like the top 50 would change just because the list was extended.

I would request @Line and Length to start this exercise for ODI .

I would rather he start one for fielding.

Opinions..... Everyone's allowed to have them.

Doesn't add to the exercise, smaller elite club.

I take a "No" as meaning they are happy simply to stop at 50. Having said "No" doesn't preclude them from voting when we continue next week.

The next poll I had intended was for wicketkeepers (a Top 15 or 20 would suffice) then , perhaps, for all-rounders. I'm always open for suggestions.

You can start the wicketkeepers/all-rounders voting in parallel to the 50-75 batsmen vote if you have the bandwidth to do it.

what does voting in the 60th best batsman have to do anything with smaller, elite club?

Why is this important? 50 is good enough though

 

[Socerer 01]

because people like ranking things and humans

and the latter is just like, your opinion man

 

[Line and Length]

We have more than sufficient interest to extend our list to 75 and we re-commence voting next Thursday.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

There is no obligation for anyone to vote. Obviously more voters may make rankings seem more valid, but those who wish to stop voting aren't being forced to vote on the 50-75 cohort against their will.

Votes for No have zero weighting and were not invited to do so. The only effect voting No has is bumping this thread back up to the top, thus attracting more Yes voters. So therefore I think through the "good news for Trump" doctrine that those who vote No want to look cool while still actually advancing the Yes cause.

I am involved in Australia's only political party that advocates for abolishing compulsory voting so it's on brand enough.
