This really isn't a black and white topic. I find the Smith/Khawaja example above to be a very good one. You have to factor in the a whole host of factors when deciding who is your number 3.
As a Saffer, Kallis batted 3 when we didn't have anyone better to do the job. When Amla came along he moved one down and it benefited everyone involved. But in both those instances he was our premier batsman.
