Bill Ponsford for his 100s to 50s ratio, and for having a highest score about Jason Gillespie's.

Steve Waugh.

Tough round though, would have voted for any of them in the previous battle.

Steve Waugh just over Ponsford due to his superior bowling and captaincy ability. Merv Hughes would be a contender for the whole thing if it was a battle of Australian cricket characters but his cricketing ability is not close to the standard of Ponsford and Waugh.

Never realised Ponsford only played 29 matches!!! Sign of those times I guess.

Anyway, Waugh for me.
