We need another bowler, a kind of repechage of the previous polls for pace and spin bowlers. I've picked the bowlers first who got votes in those particular selections. That gives me the first six names on the list. Then I went back to the original stats, and chose the two bowlers of each discipline with the best strike rate, and the one with the best average (not already selected by other means). That weirdly gave me two English spinners but no Anglo seamers...
So that's with 200 wickets, opposition not including Bangladesh and Zimbabwe.
To give some room for those who may have burned brightly, but not for so long, I incorporated the final three from those with the best SR, but only taken 100 wickets (two seamers and a spinner).

These options don't feel as comprehensive as the previous rounds, but the ones left out attracted no votes before and can be picked in the thread.
