Aravinda the best maybe given it was a hundred against and Warne, plus took the crucial wickets when Aussies were cruising. Then Gilly(amazingly destructive vs peak Murali and Malinga), and Head(to knock over one of the most destructively efficient ODI teams in a WC in their background is the biggest statement possible)

Lloyds knock is extremely underrated. 102 off 85 against a worldclass attack.

Only caveat is that ODI was in its infancy so the pressure might not have been the same.

If not that, I will take Head over Aravinda. That was some insane pressure in the WC Final last year and he destroyed India.

The only thing is Aravinda took 3 key wickets and scored a hundred vs Mcwarne. Serious performance. Then Head, Lloyd and Gilly
