this is a tough one

8ankitj · 03-01-2013, 01:46 PM

Dean Jones assuming this was his natural position. Even otherwise deserves an honorary vote.

Burgey · 03-01-2013, 02:25 PM

Ponting

hendrix · 03-01-2013, 03:10 PM

this is tough because I want Watson there as allrounder.

Satyanash89 · 03-01-2013, 06:46 PM

Wanted to vote Ponting but accidentally voted Lara. **** it.

Eclipse · 03-01-2013, 08:55 PM

Ponting. Don't see how it can be anyone else frankly. Only SRT has more ODI hundreds and Ponting has made almost all of them at number three.

Wanted to go Ponting, in the end though couldn't really ignore Lara's record.

weldone · 03-01-2013, 10:52 PM

I vote for Lara here - in protest of him being excluded from the opener's poll.

Jono · 04-01-2013, 03:30 AM

Ponting

hendrix · 04-01-2013, 04:27 AM

without my (admittedly somewhat unconventional) lineup options, Ponting is definitely the best number 3.

still can't believe Gilchrist will be opening an ATG team. wtf.

Given he'll most likely be keeping, is it really that ridiculous?
