Top 5 Italian cricketers of all-time

[Dan]

With Dexter skippering against everyone possible (ok, he missed South Africa, but whatever), and after winning the first Gillette Cup with his inventive captaincy, his stature in Italian cricket is looking huge. People are touting him as a giant of the game.

The question is, does it make him as big a cricketer as Dexter or Dexter? Where does he stand among the greatest TEST (ergo: no Michael Di Venuto) cricketers ever produced by Italy?

Dexter could never truly support the country he played for, mind you.
