I find it sad to see Trueman consistently ranked below all 3. I saw him in action and he was fearsome at his best.

 

[Line and Length]

Trueman (probably 1 place higher than I might have given without seeing other votes - I shouldn't be influenced!)
McGrath
Imran
Donald

Lillee
Akram
Davidson
Garner

Did you deliberately reverse the order of ankitj's vote in group H?

 

[trundler]

I find it sad to see Trueman consistently ranked below all 3. I saw him in action and he was fearsome at his best.

Lindwall over Younis was another one I thought hard to justify. Trueman's strike rate for the era he played in is absolutely magnificent - as good as Steyn's and Marshall's in their respective eras. It's way ahead of his contemporaries like Lindwall and Davidson. Also the length of his career is Walsh-esque and he should've played ~90 tests but he ran into trouble with the authorities.
