Kane Williamson is the joke option, right?

Average of 47 and strike rate of 81 is better than most on the list. You're getting mixed up with 20/20

 

[Jack1]

Emphasis on the butt?

Emphasis on the spelling. You are a sxx addict.

How can Abbas be ranked so highly with just 60 innings ?
I mean if you are talking about contribution to ODI cricket so many other ODI batsmen have done a hell of a lot more even from Pakistan itself ...I feel men like Anwar , Miandad , Inzamam have had much better ODI careers than Abbas who mainly picked because of the statistical anomaly of his average and strike rate in his era ..Surely it takes far more than a quick glance at the general stats to rank a batsman.

Ok

 

[Jack1]

Ok

Yes. You’re ***ual preference isn’t my concern, but don’t try to make implications about me over a spelling. It’s trivial to spell a name right. The moderators are too disrespectful to change the Rudi Koertzen thread to the right spelling so I’m not surprised you think it’s normal behaviour.

It's between Dhoni and Bevan.

On second thoughts, Zaheer Abbas is as good a call as anyone. I am switching my vote to Abbas.

Imran Khan better odi bat than Gayle?

Seems your methodology is flawed

 

[Migara]

Many (not all) cricket followers think the 4 best ODI batsmen of all time are Viv, Sachin, ABDV, and Kohli. For the point of this voting exercise that is being assumed. Who do you think is 5th best?

I think Dhoni is infact in top 4.

 

[Migara]

Ponting for me , ticks all the boxes I'm looking for:

Longevity - 13K runs
Success - 3 time ODI World Cup Winner
Big match player - Probably the best ODI innings ever played in a Final - 140* vs India 03

Hell no

He and Viv were head and shoulders above the rest

 

[Everton Seymour]

Hell no

Debatable but stop pretending like there's a handful of innings better than that knock , that was sheer dominance and made Gangulys decision at the toss look even more bad than it was .
