Remove Sydney Barnes
Obscure cricketer; (has almost zero pageviews in anything other than English). Fast bowlers don't need a rep, Cricket itself covers that as a level 4 article. William G. Morgan seems to be consensus obscure. (per comments who have cited this); yet Morgan gets more views in Indonesian alone than Barnes in total. Probably one of the weakest articles we list. Compare Morgan and Barnes worldwide. Morgan wins. Bradman, Tendulkar, Richards, Grace and Sobers are enough for Cricket. Why do we specifically need representation for fast bowling when we don't need to represent sports which are in the olympics and are viewed over 70 million times on this site alone? Seems ultra specific.

Just as a add on; 10 pin bowler Dick Weber was seen as too obscure for the 15k list; yet he gets nearly 30k more views than Barnes. 168k compared to 192k for Weber. ; despite Cricket supposedly being the second largest sports; compared to volleyball or bowling which are supposedly obscure. I know Cricket is popular in Aus, the UK and India (all related to the commonwealth) and volleyball in places like Brazil with Brazilian Volleyball Super League (Men) and Giba and Indonesia with Proliga (Indonesia) or China with Lang Ping and big movies like Leap (film); so there may be a difference in perception and thus this athletes list massively favours sports big in Anglo countries; but we should be consistent with who is obscure - especially if by every metric they are smaller than people who are consensus seen as obscure here.
