My opinion on cricket is well known so feel free to disregard this, but Bradmans 100 test avg is such an insanely insane outlier that I find it hard to think anyone else could be the best.
Boring Brendas number one and (almost) only fan.

Smithys number one and (definitely not) only hater.

Are you meaning best cricketer ever, or best in any sport?

That's the 1
Sydney Barnes, usually called SF Barnes to avoid confusion with the Australian batsman Sid Barnes.

No-one will vote for him as no bugger here apart from you and me has heard of him.
Will you want to vote on Randy's 64? I hadn't thought about making it into a forum-wide game but we can. I think his list is too mysterious for most of us. I've never heard of about a quarter of them.

Oh, I completely misunderstood this. In that case let Randy have as many boxers and 19th Century cricketers as he likes.

He'll be doing his own personal one either way but I could run a parallel one for others.

I think it wouldn't make much sense.

Other people could do their own lists if they cared that much.
