I'll take the 00s if you give me Tendulkar and Shri doesn't get to pick him

But Miller and Lindwall played more games in 50s so they belong there. Its that simple, Jimmy.

Even I wont be able to play Dev, Holding, Le Roux etc in my XI.
Like I said, late 30s/40s can't afford to lose Lindwall & Miller. If we used games played to decide everything Hutton and Evans would probably be in danger too. The team would have to fold, which would mean we have less spots available for people to join. It's all for fun anyway.

The games played method is not an entirely fair notion because, as time has progressed, more and more Test matches are played each year. The games played method is always weighted towards later decades.

This will be decided in a court of law.

Tendulkar

90s - 1 vote
00s - 1 vote (I already know Shri will vote for the 90s)

Some more votes on the McGrath/Gavaskar situation would be appreciated

McGrath

90s - 1 vote
00s - 2 votes

Gavaskar

70s - 0 votes
80s - 1 vote

I'm open to Sunil being put in the 80s camp. Does anyone else have an opinion on Sunny?
As an outsider, I'd think of Gavaskar as a 70s player.

I'd also think of McGrath as a 90s player.

In fact, as a total outsider I think I should be official era judge. Anyone participating would show bias...

Statistics > What we all think. Period.

It should be the only parameter to determine who should go to which decade. Same goes for every single player be it Miller, Lindwall, Murali, Gavaskar, McGrath.

Bullshit. It should be about which part of the decade a player debuted at best. 90-95 -> 90s / 95-00 -> 00s.

Besides, someone with no horse in this race should decide and marc's idea is fair enough. And what kind of spaz thinks of McGrath as a 00s player? He isn't Hayden ffs.

I don't give a **** what your statistics say. I'll think of players in the decade that I relate them to. And irrelevant of that, it's not you running it to decide anything anyway, you just appear to be trying to get the best for your team...

McGrath is not in my decade. I had started it with Murali and McGrath later I realised that Gavaskar played more games in 80s and I dont see anything wrong if someone tries to inject their best team.

Bullshit! It should be who played more in which decade. More games in 00s, should be in 00s.

Yeah, McGrath's 97 Ashes in England, in addition to the other Ashes and his performances against Windies of the 90s was legendary. He wouldn't even be in the 00s if he sucked in the 90s. And its not even the mid 90s we are talking about here. He debuted in 1993 and giving him up to the next decade is ****ing stupid on so many levels.
