? The Idea Lillee took over the GOAT mantle from Lindwall is not a universal agreement, many don't agree with that idea. Larwood's rating went down over time naturally, as his statistics are not that impressive, he wasn't rated as highly in 1970s as he was in 1940s and 1950s, as Bodyline faded into being a distant memory. Lindwall and Trueman are statistically far superior, so their reputation stayed.
It's crazy that everything you've said there can be equally applied to the other guy in the poll as well.
