ICF All Time XI : Number 3

[The Outsider]

Time for the number 3 position. Bradman is the front runner here though there are quite a few other great batsmen as well. Like in the previous poll, I am leaving the last slot open to add in later depending on who else people want to add in. Some names which can be included are Kanhai, Younis Khan, Richardson. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?batting_positionmax1=3;batting_positionmin1=3;batting_positionval1=batting_position;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=batting_average;qualmin1=2000;qualval1=runs;template=results;type=batting

Bradman>Richards>Lara>Ponting/Dravid>rest

It's a "No Contest". Bradman all the way for no. 3. I would have Lara & Richards for the middle order as with Bradman at 3 they can bat at 4 or 5.

So the Bradman Samaaj here is worshipping their hero.

Would be a shame to not have Dravid in here.

Lara batted at number 4 for most of his innings so he should not be here. Viv can be a contender for number 5 as well where he batted the most in his career.

thts why i didnt voted for them...

[Dravid_TheWall]

Bradman as he is the best. Lara is second best batsman ever, he can take 4th spot.

[SLICKR392]

Wonder if most of the people who voted for the Don knows who he is rather than just checking out his 99.94 against the same team with a toothless attack.

[Crookbond]

^ Yea, OK.

[Shunya]

maybe u should post the stats of all these players batting at no.3... and i still feel one batsman can be nominated for multiple positions... or atleast make the categories 3 & 4, 5 & 6 if i have to chose one in this list...it will be bradman...

Lara averages 51 when batted at number 4 less than even Jayawardene and Miandad. He averaged 62 while batting at number 3. His impact at number 3 is much more than number 4.

[The Outsider]

Just to clarify the likes of Lara, Richards will be included in the middle order poll as well. Added stats guru link to OP.

[Stuge]

I gave vote to dravid because I have not seen Breadman batted at that position.
