Best ever Limited Overs batsman ever, 32 man knockout tournament, tourney thread.

So I employed a silent seeding system here. How many names I seeded(it wasn't 32, and every player after I stopped seeding was randomised), how I did it, and which players are what seeds will remain undisclosed so it won't affect voting. But I'll say it was done fairly.

I`m still amused that Kallis is not here but Klusener is? It shows how one good WC can set peoples minds to a player regardless... in no ways was Klusener a better ODI batsmen than Kallis, even if Kallis was not the best.

Agreed. Kallis got robbed of a spot in this. Lloyd didn't deserve to be in there imo - even more than Klusener. I think with Klusener people are going with his potential. I remember in the 1999 WC he seemed like the next level of ODI batsman.

I love Inzy but I picked Klusener there because Inzy was pretty underwhelming in World Cups apart from that famous knock in '92 against NZ and the cameo in the final.

Inzamam had probably the worst World Cup of any major player - grand total of 19 runs off 42 deliveries in 6 matches in 2003.

I'm sure Kallis will get a decent run if mr_mister decides to do a ATG ODI all-rounder thread.

Haha, got run out vs. India too which was hilarious.

Mahela made 21 runs from 58 balls at an average of 3.00 in that same World Cup. Inzy wasn't even the worst player in that World Cup. :p

Keith Arthurton made 2 runs in 5 innings in the '96 WC.

No one's suggesting Mahela belongs to this thread though :p

Which is probably a travesty considering he's scored a century each in a World cup semifinal and final.
