OK let's do this.

Dennis Lillee vs Shaun Pollock, only bowling to be considered.

This is a classic case of two bowlers with similar averages.

Lillee has a higher WPM (5.1), and with massive holes in the record, with regards to SC and WI.
Pollock has lower WPM (3.9), and has a bowling average less than 35 in every country.

Let's see how this pans out.

And for the comparison ICC rankings

Pollock virtually for 2/3 of his career topped that magic 800 rating. That is the man's consistency across conditions.

Thakur might be too tempting a meme to be a good ITO here. Will probably get heaps of votes.

Hasn't panned out that way, I think mostly because CWers tend to have not vote irrelevant 3rd options if they have a strong opinion and this is the sort of poll where almost everyone has a strong opinion.

Also it's good to note a vote for Pollock is a vote for analysis by checklist :ph34r:
