It'll be weird if the 2nd best left arm quick in history was not in the top 16 overall.

Davidson and Roberts have a similar number of wickets (Roberts a bit more a match) from a similar number of matches and Davidson three more five fors. The gap between their averages is five runs. Roberts is my all time favourite bowler to watch but that's a bigger gap than between, say, Hadlee and Starc. It's a chasm.

Group 4 is indeed weird. You basically have to be knowledgeable about the history of the sport to vote or you won't recognise three of the names.
