Ponting, G.Chappell or Smith ?
The above 3 IMO are real close and hard to separate and all have claims, in a statistical sense.
Ponting - need I say any more ? Was averaging 60 after 107 tests and did most of his work batting @ 3.
G.Chappell - champion and played an additional 20 unofficial tests (WSC) , averaging 60, with another 6 tons.
It's hard to see Smith finish his test career with a batting average under 50 now.
I'd love peoples views on this.
Or does anyone think someone like a S.Waugh, Hayden, M.Hussey, Border (only others with a 50+ ave) or another player challenges ?
