Bob cannot ready an attack.That's correct.  He readies a standard action: attackNo the attacks allowed by cleave and great cleave were not readied specifically, but then again, neither was the very first attack.  Characters can't ready attacks.  They ready actions.  Many of the actions that can be readied allow one or more attacks.  What Hyp and I are saying is that since a character readies an action, and not an attack, then any attacks allowed by the readied action should be considered readied attacks for purposes of other feats and abilities that refer to readied attacks.</blockquote>
