Choose the no.3 batsman for the All-time ODI XI

[Days of Grace]

I left Lara out of this, as I feel there is a certain position for him in the middle order, maybe at no. 4. I might do likewise for Dean Jones, if you guys say so.

As it is, I reckon this is a too horse race.

Happy voting comrades.

You know, I am not sure if I am a big fan of your criteria. But never mind.

Richards for me.

Javed will make an appearance in the poll for middle order players

I saw a program yesterday and Richards was batting fouth.

He spent most of his career there TBH.

He spent most of his career there TBH.

While his ODI average is slighly higher at first drop,he had 30 more innings at second drop.So you are spot on Perm.That is why I went for Dean Jones....with Richards as the logical #4

Averaged 57 at #3 I think.

Viv Richards, hard to argue that he isn't the greatest ODI batsman of all time.

Ponting with Richards to bat 4.

[Sanz]

I will pick Richards for any position (if he were in the Poll).

I'd argue that no-one can be called that, personally, I'd argue that Richards played a different game to that which has been played since the 1990s.

And I'd also argue that once you go past openers, polls are pointless, because you can pick a massive number of players in a wide variety of positions.

 

[open365]

id also argue that the above post is largely pointless
