The CW 50 - CricketWeb's view of the top 50 cricketers of all time

[The Sean]

Yeah that sounds like a good idea mate. Perhaps if it's a tie you could have a straight out battle between the players who are tied?

By the way, how many people have voted so far?

Actually, I like that idea a lot. Reckon that's got legs.

21 people have voted so far, and a total of 92 cricketers have been nominated for at least one vote.

Anyone made everyones list? Would have assumed Bradman would have but unless Jayasuriya made his debut in 1928 then I guess no one had made every list.

 

[The Sean]

Anyone made everyones list?

Yep.

 

[Pothas]

hmmmmmm I do wonder, could be a few people but would probably narrow it down to between two.

 

[The Sean]

Ha ha yeah, you've got a pretty small pool to pick from.

 

[honestbharani]

sent mine

 

[Furball]

He is about 87 so that is fair enough I suppose.

No problem with only going with people you have seen really but surprised a few who made their debut before him did not make it into your list.

Actually, my post is a load of rubbish. There's a couple who debuted earlier than that who made it in.

 

[Matt79]

Will do mine today. Haven't had the chance to sit down and get it down probably.

 

[Matt79]

Sent. Very hard - there are five or so players I'm incredulous that I've left off my list and who could be in if I read over it again. A couple of players made it on their contribution to the game as icons or as human beings in addition to their fine playing records, possibly ahead of players who were in strict batting/bowling terms their equals or better.

Was please that I did this list separately yet of I compose an XI based upon the order of my list, it only has one player different from my general "All Time XI".

 

[Uppercut]

Haha, I couldn't manage that. My list didn't have a wicket-keeper.

 

[Pothas]

One and possibly even two of my top 5 do not make my all time side.

 

[Matt79]

Lol. First amendment sent through to Sean by me.

 

[Matt79]

Two of my top 10 dont.

 

[GIMH]

Doing my list now, it's a toughie

 

[GIMH]

sent

 

[Uppercut]

Is Freddie number one?

 

[honestbharani]

Lol, I posted my list and went over the top 11 and wondered how neat it was that i had a playing XI right there. Then it struck me that the reason it seemed so wonderfully balanced was because there was no keeper in there Had to edit Gilchrist in later.

I missed something? Where do I see your list mate? Sorry if this is a stupid question...


EDIT: Must learn to read through rest of the posts before replying.. Apologies. And man, you and I agree on 15..

 

[GIMH]

Is Freddie number one?

No, he's 15th tbh

 

[The Sean]

Corrin did however continue the streak of everyone nominating someone who no one else yet had - we've had 99 cricketers so far receive at least one vote, looking forward to seeing who number 100 will be.

Sean, if you have the time and the inclination, a full breakdown of nominees (including those only nominated once) would make very interesting reading
