My Picks:

29\. Glenn McGrath
28\. Curtly Ambrose
27\. Waqar Younis
26\. Courtney Walsh
25\. Dale Steyn
24\. Allan Donald
23\. Brett Lee
22\. Jason Gillespie
21\. Chaminder Vaas
20\. Darren Gough
19\. Makhaya Ntini
18\. Stuart Broad
17\. Andrew Caddick
16\. Morne Morkel
15\. Mitchell Johnson
14\. Zaheer Khan
13\. Craig Mcdermott
12\. Damien Fleming
11\. Shoaib Ahktar
10\. Mitchell Starc
9\. Javagal Srinath
8\. James Anderson
7\. Tim Southee
6\. Angus Fraser
5\. Kapil Dev
4\. Merv Hughes
3\. Shane Bond
2\. Peter Siddle
1\. Ishant Sharma

**Excluded** - Ian Bishop, Wasim Akram, Ryan Harris.

McGrath is the best paceman I've seen only for his unrelenting ability to put the ball consistently in that corridor of uncertainty, Curtly Ambrose would have been the one I'd have feared playing most. Younis along with Akram were a sublime pair. Mitch Johnson gets rated a little further down for mine since he was rather up and down in his career although he had some very purple patches. Ishant Sharma is pus and Siddle is not much better (not through lack of trying, big ticker but no impact.) Bond didn't play enough, and Dev/Merv were at the arse end of their careers.

A very tough selection, I think the top ten really pick themselves, but there's still plenty of others there you'd love to have out there bowling for your life.

29\. Glenn McGrath
28\. Dale Steyn
27\. Wasim Akram
26\. Courtney Walsh
25\. Curtley Ambrose
24\. Allan Donald
23\. Brett Lee
22\. Jason Gillespie
21\. Chaminder Vaas
20\. Darren Gough
19\. Makhaya Ntini
18\. Stuart Broad
17\. Ryan Harris
16\. Morne Morkel
15\. Mitchell Johnson
14\. Zaheer Khan
13\. Craig Mcdermott
12\. Damien Fleming
11\. Shoaib Ahktar
10\. Mitchell Starc
9\. Javagal Srinath
8\. James Anderson
7\. Tim Southee
6\. Andrew Caddick
5\. Ian Bishop
4\. Merv Hughes
3\. Shane Bond
2\. Peter Siddle
1\. Angus Fraser

McGrath no 1 for me. Line and length on a 5 cent piece. I think Steyn could finish his career alongside McGrath. One of the few quicks to have success in India. Could easily finish his career with more wickets than McGrath as well.

Not going to worry about Swag Tiger.
It's like waiting for the second coming of Christ, maybe it will happen, maybe it won't but either while it's a long wait.

I'll have the final scores up tonight.

Maybe he didn't get a good report from school and is banned from the Computer :wink:

Haha maybe he got caught looking at naughty stuff, either way he was coming last by a huge ammount so I excluded votes for him and by him for Pace Bowlers. Next post will be the final results.

 

[Sabre]


**Top players in each position**
**Opening Batsmen:** Graeme Smith (Tiger_one) and Virender Sehwag (Tiger_one) (draw)
**Middle order batsmen:** Sachin Tendulkar (Sabre)
**Keeper:** Adam Gilchrist (Bazzinator)
**All Rounder:** Jacques Kallis (Cultured Bogan)
**Pace Bowler:** Glenn McGrath (Geo.)
**Spin Bowler:** Shane Warne (happy tiger)

**‘Wests Tigers Forum XI of 1990-2015’**
Graeme Smith (Tiger_One)
Virender Sehwag (Tiger_One)
Ricky Ponting (Foreveratiger)
Sachin Tendulkar (Sabre)
Brian Lara (GNR4LIFE)
Jacques Kallis (Cultured Bogan)
Adam Gilchrist (Bazzinator)
Shane Warne (Happy Tiger)
Curtly Ambrose (Sabre)
Courtney Walsh (Tig_PRMZ)
Glenn McGrath (Geo)

**Note:** Some players obviously not in their ‘natural’ batting position, but all have played in the position selected. Players who got the most votes got their preferred position i.e Tendulkar and Lara both number 4 batsman – Tendulkar got more votes so he got the #4 spot and Lara got #5\. Kallis selected in the more typical All-Rounder spot of #6 with Ponting at #3.
Team consists of 4 Aussies, 2 Indians, 3 Windies and 2 Saffas. Surprisingly no Poms.

Shane Warne (Happy Tiger) was the only player to get a ‘perfect score’ (top vote from every player). Jacques Kallis came close getting the top vote from everyone except Swag Tiger who gave him 9 and Symonds the 10.

Also, apologies to anybody who misunderstood some of the rules re: Batting Order

**Honourable mention to Cultured Bogan for his player descriptions that provided great and insightful reading. Appreciated if everyone gives him credit for the effort he went to.**
