Khawaja was rated as a middle order batsman in the previous poll but moves up 5 teams as an opener. Haddin moves up too.

I can't believe everyone is voting Boonie at 3 over Ian Chappell (I love Boonie). Despite Chappell's overall record he found his spot at 3 for most of his career and averaged over 50 there. In the 1970's he was widely proclaimed as Australia's best #3 since Bradman and only Ponting has earned that title since imo

Both slightly underrated I reckon. Boon's record v quality fast bowling is very good. Big fan of Martyn but I'll back I Chappell due to better longevity

We have a tie for the second pacer's spot. Always been a fan of Mcdermott since he was one of the initial players who hooked me up to cricket in childhood and so voting for him. Has the better stats too.
