I think it's a pretty good list. All the right players are in there, and the order will soon sort itself out once a few people have voted.

Napier is perhaps a bit too high, but de Villiers has only really emerged as a T20 superstar in recent times. I think Napier still holds the record for the highest T20 score (?) so he's certainly no mug.

Really don't see how some people can disagree with Gayle at number 1 though! The man is a beast.

As far as Napier the batsmen goes that really was a freak of a innings in more ways than one, he's never got close to repeating anything like that before or since in Twenty20 even though he had a first class innings where he did similar. He's only passed 50 once in the format and that innings was it and on the whole he averages 15. I actually really like Napier as a all-rounder but he's got massively overrated because of that innings.

If the list is yet to be finalized then I have no problem with it, all the names seem to be there and we'll see where they end up.
