Changed my vote to Younis Khan, but it's a hair breadth margin for me. Younis was a real stud, and especially his role gets underrated coming in at number 3 for a Pakistan side whose middle order was very productive but afraid of the new ball, and openers that were... well the less said the better.

He mostly batted 4 though. He only came in at three 38% of the time.

Younis is often rated in the top 25, Smith is not rated that high. Still overrated tho.

Smith was rated 30th the last time round here, Younis 25 iirc. I have Smith at 46th and Younis at 31st, so the latter is rated much fairer here imo. Younis was a monster in SC, arguably the best ever; and good in most other places. Trumps Smith, who averaged 34 at home vs non BangZimWI teams comfortably imho.

Edit: Just revisited the list. I would have Root, Walcott, Kohli, ABD and Compton ahead of Younis (and Trumper), but it's arguable all the way (maybe except for Root now, Trumper is a different matter). Compton and Harvey behind Smith makes no ****ing sense to me. And then there's ABD..... I would have Amla ahead of Smith, ABD is at the very least is a tier ahead (as is Younis really).

tbh you are right.

But he averaged above 100 in my land! I don't like him (ok maybe I should change my mind as literally everybody averaged some 70/80 in BD)
