International Debutant
In random order
Ponting
Tendulkar
Symonds
Gilchrist/Jayasuria (cant split these two, I know their numbers dont stack upto some of the others, but I reckon they've won more matches off their own bats than anyone else on the list)
Pietersen

Wheres Lehmann/Bevan/Hussey ?

Virat Kohli (c)
I've always said Clarke is, but at the same time I don't think you could call him top 5 from 2000 onwards yet.

Yeah but also wouldn't say Hayden is four times better than him (if you can interpret it that way) at the time of posting. Granted Hayden's peak has been one of the greatest in ODI history, it seems it is speaking for the whole 7 year period with such a gap.

I don't think you can interpret it that way. If you had asked to pick the best batsman in Aussie history, Bradman would win by 100-0, which doesn't mean he is 100x better than the next guy.

Hayden, Gilchrist and Symonds are unstoppable once they get going. Absolute run machines they are.

Ponting and Clarke because theyre awesome and great to watch.

Averages since 2000 takes long enough yet surely you have a fair idea of S/R, like your Gilchrists are faster than your Atapattu's, your Kallises lower than your Haydens.
