Don't tell me someone has Tendulkar at #1.
Oh please. Someone had Warne above Bradman in the last edition. You didn't have a problem with that. Stop being so bitter, and don't raise an issue that's not on the table at all.

GIMH!

IIRC you brought this up last time and I recall saying I did. Not even I put Warne above Bradman. Anyone who does is taking the piss or is a fanboy. So "oh please" yourself for making my comment an issue.

Who cares who picks who and in what order? People can pick whoever they want, in whatever order they want surely. If people are going to look down their noses at someone else's selections because they don't correlate with their own list they're clearly not interested in the pooling of ideas which is surely the purpose of the thread.

Well I've submitted my list and because I didn't want to cause yet further wailing and gnashing of teeth I've played it with a pretty straight bat. No room for Jardine, although I trust that others will have done the decent thing so that he finds a spot in the top 50.

Will send my list asap. As a matter of interest and comparison, here is how the Top 50 shaped up last time. Maybe when you do the countdown you could put in brackets where each cricketer ranked last time (if they made the top 50) so we can see how the opinions on various players has - or hasn't - changed.

1. Don Bradman
2. Garry Sobers
3. WG Grace
4. Shane Warne
5. Jack Hobbs
6. Sachin Tendulkar
7. Imran Khan
8. Viv Richards
9. Malcolm Marshall
10. Richard Hadlee
11. Sydney Barnes
12. Muttiah Muralitharan
13. Glenn McGrath
14. Keith Miller
15. Brian Lara
16. Dennis Lillee
17. Walter Hammond
18. Adam Gilchrist
19. Curtly Ambrose
20. Ian Botham
21. Len Hutton
22. George Headley
23. Wasim Akram
24. Greg Chappell
25. Ricky Ponting
26. Jacques Kallis
27. Graeme Pollock
28. Bill O’Reilly
29. Sunil Gavaskar
30. Victor Trumper
31. Fred Trueman
32. Steve Waugh
33. Herbert Sutcliffe
34. Allan Border
35. Michael Holding

Can people please write first names or initials on some cricketers so we can work out who you mean?

I'm especially thinking of when Pollock and Richards makes peoples lists.

Thanks Sean, I was thinking the same but was too lazy to go out and search for the list last time. I'll include this now.

Just send through another email if there are some players that you forgot about. Weldone has had his list updated.

Kyear and Chicane need to fix up their lists slightly.

So it's alright if we want to rearrange our lists even if we've sent one through already?
