Above table has all the inductees, sorted by career span. Anyway, the next one up in a couple of years that's a shoe in for this should be Dale Steyn, so look forward to that.
However, it's an absolute joke that Matthew Hayden isn't already inducted here. Considering first that I highly doubt the selection committee is doing the stereotypical CW style checklist analysis or whatever, it becomes even more absurd. How much better of an average would an opener have to have to be selected? Is Desmond Haynes really going to be the last ever opener on this list?
