Nicely done. However, Murali not making it to the top 5 an anomaly for me.

Good top 5. Hard to argue with Viv. WAG

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I'd love to watch Viv bat in todays era with the powerplays, fielding restrictions and bats of today. Would be some sight.

lol gilchrist ahead of msd

 

[Pratters]

Bevan is the greatest for me. Crazy good player.

 

[fredfertang]

Ajit Agarkar?

 

[harsh.ag]

Garner should be in the discussion too.

 

[Pratters]

Ajit Agarkar?

Agarkar wasn't actually a bad ODI player at all.

 

[fredfertang]

Agarkar wasn't actually a bad ODI player at all.

I'm guessing that was why he was so popular here a few years back

It's cricinfo. They had a 3 player vote with only Tendulkar, Lara and Warne last year.

 

[viriya]

Dhoni and Gilchrist (especially) do not deserve to be in the top 5 list in the first place.

At least they got the #1 pick right.

The number 1, 2, and 3 match the CW top 3 odi players of all time too

 

[honestbharani]

Viv is the king of ODIs.. Agree with the top 3..

 

[kyear2]

No issues with the top 3. Nice to see Viv get his due recognition even in light of the new batsman friendly era of odi cricket.

 

[watson]

Garner should be in the discussion too.

More than that, he should be on the list.

 

[kyear2]

More than that, he should be on the list.

Agreed.Garner and Murali would be ideal choices for number 4 and 5

 

[Salamuddin]

Gilchrist over Dhoni in ODIs is a joke tbh.

 

[silentstriker]

Top three are solid, even if I'd have them in a different order. You can't really argue with their choice or their order.

Good to see Sir Viv on top.

Gilly was a fine ODI player, won a WC off his own bat. Squash anyone
