Only going to consider tests - can't bring myself to combine such things really. I've also only considered current players, and only in the roles they are used in (eg. Sangakkara doesn't seem to keep in tests anymore so I haven't considered hi, haven't considered Hussey as an opener as he doesn't do it etc etc.)

1. Best opening batsman? Matthew Hayden
2. Best middle order batsman? Ricky Ponting
3. Best lower order batsman? Adam Gilchrist

4. Best hard hitting batsman? More specific criteria needed.
5. Best defensive batsman? More specific criteria needed.

6. Best right handed batsman? Ricky Ponting
7. Best left handed batsman? Michael Hussey

8. Best right handed opening batsman? Abraham De Villiers
9. Best left handed opening batsman? Matthew Hayden

10. Best left handed wicket keeper batsman? Adam Gilchrist
11. Best right handed wicket keeper batsman? Mark Boucher
12. Best wicket keeper batsman? Adam Gilchrist

13. Best player of pace? Ricky Ponting
14. Best player of spin? Kevin Pietersen
15. Best hooker and puller? Ricky Ponting
16. Best batsman? Ricky Ponting

17. Best young batsman? Ali Cook
