Who's best number 3 batsman to have played the game? true Don Bradman batted at the same position too, but he didn't display his skills against TV replays and other footages available today to help device your dismissal.

And neither Sir Don played one day cricket..

The greatest one day batsman at position one down is Ricky Ponting. undisputed champion batsmen has so far scored 28 century in his 323 one day career as of today = 2 October 2009.. 27 of those hundreds have come at no.3.

164 = Highest ODI Score :- for Ricky Ponting. he made it against South Africans at their permier ground ~ Johannesburg. sadly, his team lost it. Australians scored 434 in that match, first time above 400 score in ODIs, yet South Africa toppled it with 438 marathan chase. more of that 438 ODI.

Needless to say, Ricky doesn't remember too much of his best one day international innings. The one Ricky will remember, is his 140 not out against Indians, at the same Johannesburg venue but on a bigger occasion = World Cup 2003 final. Ricky hit 8 sixes and only 4 fours that day.. Propelling Australia to 364. After that, victory was just a formality.

Ricky Ponting is second to Sachin Tendulkar in record for most century in ODI & tests, but recent Ashes loss and successive T20 world cup faliures has put termendos pressure of this right handed batsman. It will be interesting to see how far Ricky goes, and will he ever touch Indian run machine?
