The best ODI team ever- by voting- Position three

[graphic23]

Sir Viv Richards without a doubt. The most dominating #3 batsman ever. The best too. Once when Jeff Dujon gave an interview he said that when Sir Viv came to bat, fielders usually used to move backwards a little rather than move forwards.

Viv should come at 4. My pick will be Lara followed by Sir Viv

Ricky Ponting.

Dean Jones - the ideal #3

[The Outsider]

The poll has some really confounding choices - Gibbs, Miandad, Pietersen, Richards, Dravid didn't play much at number 3. In fact, Lara also played at 4-5 for most of his career. It basically comes down to Ponting and Dean Jones and will have to go with Jones for the fact he was so much ahead of his times as an ODI player.

For Richards, and Dravid its quite hard to tell. Dravid though, according to this seems to have batted most of the times at #3. Similar analysis to Viv shows the same as well. KP, I know bats at #4 in Tests and even in ODIs, because Ian Bell bats at #3. Gibbs as far as I can remember is an opening batsman(?). I still hold my vote for Viv. But I guess if we decide that he comes at #4, then Rahul Dravid would be my choice for #3.

will Viv richards be an option in the poll for #4 ... if not then I would rather have him @ 3 than RP (for whom I voted)
