And then got carted by the West Indies.

I remembered it wrongly, England lost 1-0, but Cook took 11 wickets in Karachi. Pakistan had Abdul Qadir though.

Robert Croft in joint second is a surprise to me. Ok, even though only on two votes.

Cant even begin to understand why someone would consider Croft. He doesnt even have a key innings in 50 matches you could give him, his best bowling was 3/52..... so its not like he was rubbish and occasionally won you matches alone.

Think this vote is being sabotaged by our Aussie contingent.

Arf!

All square between the present day spinners.

I could do with the equal second being broken...

Any more votes out there for spinners?

I'll put the keepers up today.

Still no movement on this.

We'll move on to all rounders today.

If we don't get any more votes, I'll just put forward my choice.

Democracy

My choice was one of the tied bowlers...

Don’t think he got the yips? Saw him bowling well past retirement and could still do exactly what he wanted with the ball.

Unless he recovered of course.

Probably wrong. I just did a search for nick cook the yips and didn't get anything to back me up.

I think the "yips" can apply to those that crumble completely under pressure and never recover, but some people have. Just seems to be a total loss of nerves, sometimes it destroys a career, other times it doesnt.

Final push for this before I wrap it all up.
