Given the success of various battle and voting threads in the past, I figured we were due for one that was CricSim related. Basically the plan is to figure out who is the best player CricSim has ever had according to the public. Vote for players on any basis you like, be it representative achievements, rankings, longevity, fantastic feats, consistency or any other CricSim-related criteria you can think of. The premise is simple: you send me your top 25, 1st receives 25, 25 receives 1 etc. From there I'll collate the votes and post up the final list over time, possibly with some write-ups if I can be arsed.
I reckon there will be a lot more overrating of all-rounders than of past players. It's not meant to be a list of the best players at this point in time anyway, that's what the rankings are for.
Pass. Winner will be a new cunt who has dominated for 2 seasons, or an allrounder. People like Wilson, Bullpitt and myself, won't go close.
Boob seems a good shout. Wilson too. Don't know enough about the other past players to say anything more.
I got a program to do one for me and it came up with this: 1. %DG Speirs 2. %BJ Gemmell 3. %SA Flack 4. %SB Wilson 5. %RST Downpipes 6. %BJT Manera 7. %DW Lewis 8. %RG Cribb 9. %DA Eggman 10. %A Vago 11. %C Man 12. %DT Petrucci 13. %L Tyson 14. %TG Bullpitt 15. %MJ Deane 16. %GJ Weaver 17. %AD Funkotron 18. %AJ Parker 19. %J Ono 20. %AP Farnsworth 21. %M Perry 22. %GEC King 23. %J Torres 24. %L Popovic 25. %BH Borisc It doesn't take wicket keeping into account though.
Not a bad list, I would have have Speirs first too. Wilson > Flack. Picking between Rusty and Manera would be like picking between the Olsen twins.Bullpitt should be a bit higher.
