Please correct Philander bowling average.

Done - In multiple places (including my original at home).
Thanks for drawing my attention to this.

 

[Burgey]

Gotta give you a lot of credit here mate, you’ve kept up your plainly racist attempt at keeping Indian bowlers down for a quite a while here

Dude, can you chill with the baiting? That stuff was done and dusted pages ago.

 

[Line and Length]

Following a request, which I implemented, the 2022 positions were posted in a column for our 2024 Poll for batsmen. As the 2022 bowling polls were for pace bowlers and spinners this seemed impractical for our 2024 bowlers poll but this has been answered by having 2 columns showing the relative positions in each poll.
Our batting poll was extended from the intended 50 to 60 and it has been requested that I extend our bowlers poll on similar lines. Given that pacemen such as Tyson, P.Pollock and Gillespie missed out along with a raft of spinners led by Benaud, Herath, Bedi and Chandresekhar I thought it a resonable request.
Hence I'm reopening this poll to add 10 more names to our 2024 poll.
Voting is now open for positions 52-53.

Thanks to those who voted in my endeavours to expand this list to 60 and match the Batsmen poll.

12 - Chandrasekhar; 6 - Bedi; 5 - Benaud, Hazlewood; 4 - Herath, Gillespie, Johnston; 3 Harris; 2 - Tyson, P.Pollock, ;
1 - Morkel, Jamieson.

We only need 2 more rounds to complete our list of 60 so I would encourage members to join our regulars in voting.

Voting is now open for positions 55-57.
