Viv ahead of Lara based on ability against pace and away record.
Viv ahead of Smith based on slightly better peak, tougher home environment, more destructive when on song, and top end achievements against ATG pacers.

I am still undecided between Viv & Smith.
Lara belongs in the same tier as Sunny for me.
Lara was a bigger genius and reached a higher peak whereas Sunny was much more consistent and had more success against the greatest of fast bowlers.

A little surprising that Smith and Williamson don’t make those lists. Though from Root’s numbers it looks like it may have been a while ago.
